# Dual (2) Drains into 1 ReefMat 1200

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Basic connection of the RM1200 to the sump.

* You can use the corrugated black pipe that is included with the RM1200 and the adapters that Redsea has included. But be aware that you need to use a 1.5" to 1" PVC adapter for this to work as RedSea only include a 1" PVC connection for the stock plumbing. 
  {% endhint %}

#### For higher flow we recommend using 1.5" PVC Pipe plumbed directly into the ReefMat1200 with our included 1.5" to RM adapter. 

Pre Installation:

1. Find the included 1.5" to RM adapter that we have included with your sump (It may be white or black).  
2. Connect the adapter to the input of the RM1200 as shown in See FIGURE A.1 below.

#### Build the PVC Manifold (See FIGURE A.2 Below)

Here is a list of the parts needed all PVC is 1.5" Sch40:

* [ ] 2 x 1.75" PVC in Length
* [ ] 1 x 2" PVC in Length
* [ ] 1 x 3.25" PVC in Length
* [ ] 1 x 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" Sanitary Tee ([Found Here at HomeDepot](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Charlotte-Pipe-1-1-2-in-PVC-DWV-Sanitary-Tee-PVC004000800HD/203393640))
* [ ] 1.5" DWV 90-degree Street Elbow Fitting ([Found Here at HomeDepot](https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-2-in-PVC-DWV-90-degree-Street-Elbow-Fitting-PVC003020800HD/203393437))&#x20;

Connect the fittings together as seen in Figure A.3 and A.4. You DO NOT need to glue these pieces together.&#x20;

Once you have the Dual Drain Manifold assembled, you can then attach it to the 2 drain bulkheads located inside the RM44 sump (See FIGURE A.7 below). The 3 drain can be used as an emergency drain. &#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.synergyreef.com/installation-manuals/rm-sump-installation/rm60-sump-setup/dual-2-drains-into-1-reefmat-1200.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
