I did my own durso plumbing not sure if the supply pipes will work. Here's a pic.

Is it glued together?

I would turn that street elbow around on the end.

Depending on the flow rate you try to run through it, you may get a slurping noise from that hole drilled in the elbow. If that happens replace the elbow and move the hole to the top. You can even silicone in an airline tubing and valve to control the amount of air being sucked in.

The only way to know is put it in and try it out.

Ok, you don't need to glue anything on the durso. I made the mistake of gluing it together and then it was a nightmare to try and make any changes.

Put it in and let us know how it goes. Most durso pipes can handle about 700gph, above that and you may get some excessive gurgling noise.
