I need to split the flow from a Rio Hyper Flow 17 pump three ways evenly.

The output from the pump is 13/16" or 21mm.

I need to use flex tubing.

Please advise :)

3 ways? i dont know of any 3 way splitters out there. i think your best bet is to put a T in the line so the water shoots through the side of it, then put another T after it splitting it off 2 ways.

Something like this! I am going to be working with flex tubing so I will most likely need barbed fittings. I am going to look a bit on the website you gave me.

Ross, I thought about using multiple "T"s but I was hoping there was a cleaner looking way.

I can't seem to find a place that sells them singlely, only in large quantities.

I'm sure Ryan Herco has it. If you don't have an outlet in SA for them I can get you one and mail it.

In fact I spent 10 minutes looking it up for you.

Mike, you're awsome!

It seemed like everywhere I looked you either had to buy them in bulk or they were just a listing (catalog) for a store front. I am going to keep this in mind.

I know you offered to grab one for me but do you know if Ryan Herco sells product over the phone? (It's a bit to early to call)

EDIT: I did see the export services page but I am not sure that means anything for me, lol.

The guy I went to see was one of the nicest people I've ever dealt with in a store setting. I have his card somewhere. He let me sift around for 30 minutes in the back until I found 3 PVC fittings that would work for my project. Now this was about $9 worth of goods and he still discounted it. I'm sure they'd mail it to you. Not to mention the page I linked you to has all the rest of the fittings you could want, and cheaper then Lowe's. You could get it all in one go. I'm sure they'd take care of you. I'm headed to SA on Sat myself.
