Well, you could put the ports towards the bottom of the box, use 2-90's and turn the pipes towards either side, then 2 more 90's and turn the inside flares up. Measure the centerlines of the 90's, subtract to get the straight pipe length.

Either that or cut the bottom of the box out and put in a 7.5 x 3" side-firing slot port. You'd have to model the enclosure in WinISD or other to get the port length.

thats what i was thinkin. what do you mean by centerlines to get straight pipe length? where should i get those 90's?

I was mistaken. Just checked the PSP site, the flares account for 5", so the straight pipe would need to be 3".
You can get PVC 90's from HD or Lowe's or any hardware store that carries plumbing supplies. You'd be better with the sewer pipe fittings as schedule 40 water line fittings have a bigger I.D. They may not be a tight fit, so you may need to wrap the pipe to increase the O.D. for a snug fitment.

^^^ Here.

By centerline I mean hold the 90 so that you looking at it like an L. There's usually a seam where it was molded. Measure along that seam and you'll get the centerline distance of the 90. Don't include the part of the 90 that the pipe will fit into or you'll end up measuring too long.

Yep, the sewer line fittings should be on the same aisle but in a separate section from the schedule 40 water line fittings.
