The Y Adapter

Mark 3" into the PVC pipe as show and cut.

The first step is to cut a three inch length of the 3" diameter PVC pipe. This will be used to connect the end cap to the bottom of the Y junction.

Making sure to de-burr the cut edges of the 3" diameter PVC, test assmeble onto the bottom of the Y and with the 3" to 1.5" reducer as shown .

The Reducer

Now you want to take BOTH 3" to 1 1/2" end caps and use a dremel to sand the lip off of the inside of the cap to allow the 1 1/2" PVC Pipe to slide through. Kan-Burn 3 to 1-5 reducer.jpg
