Anyone have these and know the process of installation. They are threaded on the end. Couldn’t find any info online.

Likely you'd want something like this:

pvc-fitting-438-slip-bushing-150x100.jpg


That fit into your return plumbing and then screw the accelerator into that.

Thank you! So I still need to get bulk heads on my returns? Would you glue this into the bulk head from the inside? Where did you find something like this?

I'm not sure I quite follow the picture you're drawing. How is your tank drilled/what kind of overflow are you working with?

Ideally it would thread directly into your bulkhead. Depending on size and type of your bulkhead you may need an additional bushing.

Correct going to be getting an internal thread on bulkhead! Thank you guys!
