I am going to be working on redoing the plumbing on my used tank. It currently has a dual external Durso standpipe setup, but without the 90 elbow inside the internal overflow box (no room for an elbow). It seems like without an internal elbow to block air from getting in then there’s no point in a tee joint to attempt to control airflow as there will always be a large amount of airflow coming from the overflow box. I attached a rough drawing of the setup. The overflow box is inside the tank and the PVC plumbing is external.
With all of the above said, is there any point of having a tee and not just having a 90 elbow on the outside? I would be able to use a street elbow and be able to move the tank closer to the wall in the future is the reason I’m considering making this change.
TIA!
