Trick Flow Elbow/Nozzle

I really like the trick flow elbow that summit just started carrying. It is like the vortec without the seperator in the middle of it, which i think would be ideal for my shark nozzle. now i am just asking, would it be possible drill the elbow without cracking it or something? i doubt it would break like that but i am looking for second opinions.......thanks

I haven't seen the elbow you are referring to, but whether it is plastic or aluminum, if you take your time, you shouldn't have any problems drilling it. If you are worried about tapping it for threads, you could just use a "nozzle nut" for the threads. NX sells them, I imagine someone else does also, it is just a two piece threaded insert; you drill an oversize hole and it sandwiches in, then the nozzle screws into it.

You can drill it no problem.
Buy an 1/8" npt tap and whatever size drill bit is recommended for that tap. Find a good spot and go at it.

awesome! also, which nx system are you running? i really like the 2 nozzles. since i never plan on going above a 100 shot should i stick with my shark nozzle and try to hide it under the elbow??

I'm running a dual stage. That's why I have 2 nozzles.
But in your case, a single stage is fine. It would be easy to tap the nozzle on the underside, for a nice hidden system.
