Loc Line adapter

[ndz98]

I've got a 1" bulkhead and I want to put a loc line on it. An issue I've noticed is that the loc line male npt connector only goes to 3/4". So now that I realize that isn't going to work, what is my next option here? What can I put on the end of the 1" bulkhead to help direct the water a certain way?

You could use a 1" T to split that 1" in two and then use two 1" to 3/4" reducer bushings so you wouldn't be restricting the flow, something that might be the case if you just use one reducer bushing to step down from 1" to 3/4". As a bonus you then have 2 separate loc line to direct flow in different directions.

Assuming you have a threaded bulkhead, you can use a bushing at the bulkhead that takes it down to 3/4". You can then thread your loc-line in to that. If you want two outputs as described above, loc-line has a Y adapter you can use.
