So I finally think I have enough parts to make my 120 have great flow, but I am asking your opinions on how to finish the outsides of the bulkheads.

Basically I am putting in 5 1" bulkhead returns, 4 (with 3/4" lockline) will eventually hook to an oceans motions ;)

I am thinking on the back of each bulkhead, a 90, then a ball valve, all slip type. Then spaflex? Or is there an easier product for routing these with barbs etc? Should I have a ball valve immediately after each bulkhead or...?

Tips appreciated.

Thanks,
Ray
 
on theReturn side yes!On the pressure side I put them at both ends..Just if there was a power loss and I needed to take that water out safely!
