Need help with overflow plumbing

[Arron209]

Hey guys I need some help with plumbing my overflow. I have it configured a couple different ways.
Option 1:

Or
Option 2:

I'll be able to control the flow with the second option but I can't use both bulkheads in the sump because there isn't enough room. Thanks in advance guys!

 

[Arron209]

Bump. Anyone?

Looks like option 2 is the better option, what bulkhead are you talking about?

 

[Arron209]

The input for the drain on the top of the sump.

Arron209 this is off Subject but are you in merced?

OK I see what your saying now, is that 1 and 1/2 inch pipe? If so you shouldn't need the second bulkhead or you could remove the first union (closest to the tank) and install a ball valve in its place with a street elbow.

If that is intended to be a BeanAnimal drain, or a Herbie with a return line?

If I was plumbing from scratch, I'd do Bean, every time. Assuming you are doing Herbie, option 2 is better because you can control flow in your return and tune your primary drain to a full siphon and leave the other one as a dry emergency.

I'm in Modesto. Thanks for the input.

I'm doing herbie. The middle pipe is the emergency. Thanks for the advice.

Right on I'm originally from merced.
