forget what you know about backpressure

The red below hits the pipe just like the pic shows.

The Yellow the pipes curve too fast and so that part is not long enough. Even if I cut the 'Y' pipe a sleeve clamp won't have enough to bite to.

get QTP's

no

they will all leak after some point

THIS!!!!
