  How do you connect Loc-Line to 1" PVC? Also, do you need special equipment like these Pliars to connect Loc-Line components?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Bill,
  The loc-line interfaces with regular PVC pipe via the NPT x Loc-line adapter (linked below). The exact size and other fittings you need depends on what size loc-line you plan to go with. The loc-line adapter requires threads, and they are all smaller then 1" so assuming your going straight to pvc, your going to want a female pipe adapter to give you female threads, and then a 1" to 3/4" threaded reducing bushing to go down to the loc line size (assuming your using 3/4" fittings). I will add links below for those as well.
  
  Special tools are not required to use the loc-line. They are however very stiff so the pliers can be helpful for pushing the fittings together (it doesn't help you take them apart though).

  I have a threaded "male" 3/8 elbow coming from my pump. What size Of this locline would I need so I will screw over the elbow?

  Bulk Reef Supply Hey Corey,
  Are you sure you have a 3/8" elbow rather then a more common size like 1/2"? That would be a pretty unusual size. You would want the 1/2" loc-line for 1/2" pipes, 3/4" loc line for 3/4" etc. Then you need to have female threads and use a NPT x Loc-line adapter, which can be found right here:
