I've finally got my air trap working quite well. Its a little large, but its a great res and air trap. I used a 2" PVC wye. at the two tips of the y, I put in a 2" to 3/4" reducer, where I screwed in two 5/8" barbs. at the top I added on a bit of PVC pipe, and at the top a screw cap. (actually, I havent put in the screw cap yet) It clears all air very quickly, and doesn't even have to be filled to the top of the wye to work fine.
