Glad you ask.

This particular airtrap uses 1 1/2 fittings, but I'm rebuilding it with 3/4 parts.

1 street elbow
1 tee
2 socket to thread adapters

The middle parts is acrylic tubing. I got 2" OD tubing here in the FS/FT forum. Unfortunately, the fitting's ID is 1 7/8, so I had to open up the fitting.

In 3/4 parts, it'll require a 1 inch OD tube, and will fit perfectly.

The trickest part is the refill point: I opted to use a flange. It bolts right on top of the case.

Of course you don't have to use clear acrylic: regular PVC (white) will work just fine.

With the 1 1/2 parts, it clears all air in ten seconds flat.

I wrote an article on it... not posted.
