Gate valve to reactor ?

[toky916]

Hey guys I what to setup 3 gate valve from the main return and have those feed my reactor pumps what would I use to connect the reactors to the gate valve should I use slip x threaded or slip x slip work fine ?

Slip or threaded shouldn't matter as either will seal if done properly. Just make sure to use unions between the reactor and your manifold so that you can remove it for maintenance or replacement as needed without dismantling your plumbing.

Those fittings are female thread x guest fitting. So just glue a spigot x Female threaded reducing slip bushing into valve. Parts can be found on bulk reef supply http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/schedule-80-reducing-bushing-spigot-x-female-thread.html
