yagerboy December 4, 2022 Share December 4, 2022 I am plumbing my DB 80g rimless and am looking for advice. The drain is typically the larger 1” and return 3/4”. Why is the 1” bulkhead next to where the return hole is in the overflow valve? Do you cross over or should the drain be the 3/4” hole? Literally confused and frustrated at this point. Any experienced advice is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 December 4, 2022 Share December 4, 2022 Not sure I am following your question- any photos? I have don’t plumbing on several tanks including a couple DB 80sSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yagerboy December 4, 2022 Author Share December 4, 2022 I tried to draw as better then a pic. It is a corner overflow and the 1” drain is next to the cut out for the return nozzle. It seems to me that the 1” and 3/4” drilled holes should be switched. Make s sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcrazyjoker81 December 4, 2022 Share December 4, 2022 Sounds like a typical corner overflow box. The 1 inch indeed is the drain and the 3/4 inch indeed is the return. The return just has a pipe with an elbow that points toward the pre cut hole in the overflow box where the return locline typically sits. The drain typically sits lower in the box than the return so it leaves room. These are just random grabs from R2R and may obviously be different than yours. Pictures definitely help.Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime December 4, 2022 Share December 4, 2022 The loc line on the return is going to a. Be above the drain pipe b. extend your return don’t over think it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yagerboy December 4, 2022 Author Share December 4, 2022 Thanks Eric. That’s what I was thinking too. It looks like your 3/4 is opposite of mine. I’ll have to run my return over my drain but shouldn’t be a huge issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
