Sorry I just wanna get this right.

when I hook the mainline into the releaser I want the line to run straight in at a downward slope right?

in other words...since the releaser sits on top of the tank which is obviously high than the tope edge of the tank then I assume I need to move the whole mainline up to the manifold. I can't just change it from the slope down ward toward the top edge of the tank and then and go up to the manifold..correct

I hope everyone can understand what I mean.

The releaser sits on top of the tank so that it dumps into the tank. The mainline connects to the manifold and yes it needs to slope down a touch because liquids do not flow uphill.

Put a a union ball valve at each mainline so you can turn lines on/off if you need to, isolate lines to check vacuum levels, and etc. The union ball valves make disconnection of the releaser quick and easy.
