Basically I want to connect a Y tube, or flare nozzle to this:

Will this work? I have never worked w/ this before. Will this 2 piece fit?

Boil the piece you are sipping over that way it will expand slightly and shrink back down when its cool. I do this with all my locline and works like a charm

yep they will fit, i actually ordered a 1/2'' Y from them today. i got my skimmer and found out the 1/2" to 1/4" system i had was reducing flow to my display and raising the water level in my BC29 back chambers to much for my new sapphire aquatics skimmer.

putting the piece your snapping on the bulkhead in warm/hot water will help, i found gripping the pieces with a towel ensured a better grip, they go on tough without the warming but its works

Thanks folks.

Are they easy to adjust up or down? Like pivot the direction of output?

Great idea! I knew I was wearing myself out forcing those together when I didn't have to.

i just put the piece on the ground and push the other on it alot less work than boiling it and not that hard...
