Fake locline? need help with return nozzel.

[JPG Corals]

I currently have two retun nozzels on my tank, one of the nozzels is cracked where it connects onto the 'ball'. I though locline is what I had but I guess I have a generic version of it?

I bought actual loc line segments and a nozzel but it does not fit. It seems the slip ball end I have is not the same brand...

Does locline make a slip style like pictured below? So it can slide into my elbow.

@Vivid Creative Aquatics maybe?

Probably will want to know what brand tank, any other info.

You probably have "Snap-Lok". As mentioned above, you can look at the VCA website for adapters.

So it seems this is what I need. My elbow, where my slip connector goes into has a 1" / 25mm opening. Their are three options that seem would fit my situation

1. 20mm-25mm(1") to 1/2" locline
2. 20mm-25mm(1") to 3/4" locline
3. (1")25mm-30mm to 3/4" locline

Is there any benefit of going 1/2" vs 3/4"?

@Vivid Creative Aquatics is pretty active here and has all sorts of kits and adapters. I’m sure they will have a solution when they see this

I Suggest you get their random flow generators also

Yes I was planning to get their RFG. It seems their kit includes these adapters.

That looks like the same slip-fitting that Innovative Marine has been using for ages. Did that fitting slip inside that pipe, as shown in your fist post? if it is the exact same part - there an outside change that Loc-line will actual fit it.

Looking up the tank , i found this image of the stock setup

If yours looks like that then our 2021-050 Modular hose adapter will work with it - that's the same adapter that is including in our 1/2in Random Flow Generator Flow kit

If on the other hand you wat to go with something larger - we'll need to determine the actual plumbing.

In one of your photos, it indicated that it is a 25mm pipe

However - if that is the same slip fitting that IM uses on their tanks, then the OD of that fitting is closer to 20-22mm, which would mean that the inside of the pipe has been reduced to fit it. If you can,

I would measure the OD with a set of calipers and do it in millimeters.

I would also try and measure the internal diameter of the plumbing on the outlet - it almost looks like there may be a reducer in there. Maybe Some sort of insert, since the inside of the pipe looks white (PVC), as opposed to gray (UPV-C)

Depending on what you find - it will determine which Multidapter or which flow kits will fit that pipe

I'm genuinely interested in how this one works out - I have to had much opportunity to really get some good measurements on the UNS tanks
