Acro killer.....
It's to adjust the flow of the full siphon. It is what allows the bean style overflow to be so quiet.

Second this. I used cepex on my herbie set up and find it difficult to fine tune the drain. But, it's what I installed and I'm not changing it now. Were I to do it over, I'd go Spears gate valve on the drain.

Few beers and I'll frag anything...
Yeah that's actually what I threw in my cart instead, thanks for the help you guys.

You have 2 returns?
A valve on the return line is optional.
I've got a true union Cepex ball valve on my return as the last item in line so that I can remove my manifold if I want to
re-plumb or clean something out.
It's slip x slip. I wish I'd done thread x thread instead, but oh well next time.

I have a cepex valve on my return as well as my main drain. Ideally, you want to run your return wide open, unless it's oversized for future expansion, then you'll probably want a valve to turn it down. In my case, I've ended up shutting down the return a little bit to help fine tune the herbie. Between the two valves I've got it pretty good I think.
You could go with the cepex on the return line I think, requires less fine tuning. Both my cepex valves are thread/thread so they can be removed/cleaned if needed.
