Fill/Drain fittings for my E/F SoG....

[A2 Burnout]

I'm trying to put together my own fill and drain fittings but am having a really hard time finding what I need at lowes. Has anyone made their own before and could help me out a bit? Thanks.

Lowes >>>>>>> Home Depot when it came to doing mine.

I got plastic/rubber washers for both sides, aquarium silicon, plumbers tape. All the fittings I got were near the PVC area in the back and in the sprinkler area. Hard to fully explain what I bought but just browse around till you find something that fits well. If you aren't on a huge time crunch, I would suggest just going to htgsupply.com or some other hydro store online and just buy the premade attachments they have. Way easier. Plus you can get other items if you need.

That's the shit right there!!! I have got stuff from them and they ROCK!!! GREAT customer service. Just ask about getting the right tool to make the hole in the tray...the hole is a funky odd electrical size.

DAMMIT! After I read this thread I was cleaning my small flood tray (cuz I was soooopid enough to pour Hydroton pellets into the bottom of the tray and that make a humongous mess to clean up) and the tray was slippery and I dropped it...right onto the damn drain fitting! Now I have to go get a new one tomorrow!

Life goes on!!!
