So I’m waiting on my tank. I have ordered/it came with an overflow cover. Sadly I have no idea what that looks like.

I am wondering if I need to run schedule 80 inside the overflow box or if the cover will cover it? Purely for aesthetics. I have a side overflow and don’t want me/people to be able to see the white plumbing in it but if it has a true black lid, there’s no reason I can see to bother with schedule 80.

thanks,

Didn’t want to bother them but thank you.

I’m also confused on how I’m supposed to run the return loc lines

I have 3, 1.5” bulkheads in the overflow. A Return, a drain, and an e-drain. Not sure if I should run the loc line up and over the overflow weir wall or what- kind of makes the cover difficult to use I think (no clue what it looks like).

I think we are 2-3 weeks off from delivery and everything takes a week to get delivered so I’m trying to order now. Realizing I may have made a mistake by not having a notch cut out for the loc-line returns.

No worries! I’m excited! Problems are part of the fun. It just dawned on me I have no idea what the “overflow cover” looks like so I was hoping someone here might have a picture. I’ll give you a quick call to hear thoughts on the return jets.
