Well, today I was able to get another component for the tank setup:
I know - what is it?!? Well, its the contraption that's going to keep some instrumentation out of the tank. It will be plumbed into the outflow of the 2217. It is an adaptation inspired by Steve (scolley)
It starts here with a 1/2" barb x 1/2"MPT adapter:
Next to this, which is a 1/2" FPT x 3/4" slip cemented to a 3/4" slip x 1 & 1/4" slip cemented to a 1 & 1/4" x 1/2" FPT reducing "T." I went with this size to reduce or negate the flow reduction the instrumentation will cause - the other end is exactly the same, but reversed, and there is a "T" between them with no adapters. All are connected by the rubber clamps:
The tops of two of the T's have this adapter. It's essentially a compressible rubber seal that gets smaller as you tighten it. One of these will accept the pH probe, and the other will accept the temp probe. Some of you may have seen them in Steve's threads...
