# Single (1) Drain 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.&#x20;
  {% endhint %}

#### For higher flow we recommend using 1.5" PVC Pipe plumbed directly into the ReefMat1200 with our included 1.5" to RM adapter.&#x20;

Pre Installation:

1. Find the included 1.5" to RM adapter that we have included with your sump (It may be white or black). &#x20;
2. Connect the adapter to the input of the RM1200 as shown in See figure A.1 below.
3. Attach legs to ReefMat
4. #### Build the PVC Manifold (See FIGURE A.2 Below)

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

   * [ ] 1 x 7" PVC in Length
   * [ ] 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;
5. Connect Manifold to center 1.5" Bulkhead on the sump.  &#x20;
6. Slide the RM1200 with RM adapter into the 90-degree Street Elbow fitting. No Glue is needed, or recommended, just pressure fit.  See Figure A.3
