Hello,
Iv run into a plumbing snafu and I am wondering if this will work. Bean animal drain. Have to extend it out to get around the stand. I'm just not sure if this will cause any issues.

Welcome to R2R!!! It will slow the flow down slightly but it shouldn't be a problem. Is there a chance that you could replace the 90s with 45s?

If you get a chance you may also want to consider introducing yourself in the "Meet and Greet Forum". Either way, we're glad you're here!

Along with slowing it down it would likely increase the amount of time air remains in the line after startup adding to increased noise. I think it's workable though, I have a 90degree elbow in the stand with a horizontal run to the filter sock chamber and once the air is out it's quiet again.

Ok, thanks for the input. I have been mostly concerned with the noise. I wasnt sure if I'll still get the full benefit from the BA style. I guess I really don't have much of a choice. I do have some 45s. I'll put some together and see if I can reduce the curves a bit.
