I'm finishing up a pad re-plumb for a new pump, filter, and to upsize the pad to 2" pipes.
The last thing I need to do is hook up the pressure-side to the existing lines going back to the pool. I'd like to use consecutive 2" T's to route to each of the 3 return lines which will each have a Jandy 2-way valve installed. But there is enough space (separation) between the returns to make that happen.
I can make the connection with a 2 inch "cross" -- a 4-way connector that would have 1 inlet and 3 outlets (1 to each return line).
Is there any reason for not using a 4-way "cross" connector -- too much head loss, turbluence, back-pressure, etc, etc or any other drawbacks?
Thanks in advance!
