Hi all.
I am plumbing my tank and am confusing regarding the connections from my overflow box. The threaded connectors that lead downward to my sump do not match the the type of hose that came with my kit. I got 1 piece of 4ft rubber tubing that connects to my return, and 2 pieces of 4ft flexible hose. The ends are rigid, almost like pvc. I don't understand how they match up to the drain connectors. First time doing this. Thanks!

Do you not have an L shaped pipe or fitting that is supposed to be put on the bottom of the bulkhead?

Usually one end is barbed or has hose clamps, you may just have the wrong type of hose as far as I know that's a hose for a pool filter

I have an L shaped adapter for the return side that is barbed but that is the only one. I also have a mess of hose clamps but not sure how to make them work.
