Abstract
An assembly for a livewell comprises a first fitting and a second fitting. The first fitting is configured to support and provide water to a spray head configured to spray water into a livewell to which the assembly is coupled. The second fitting is coupled to the first fitting and comprises at least two inlets and at least one outlet, the at least one outlet being in fluid communication with the first fitting. A first inlet of the at least two inlets is in fluid communication with a first source of water to provide water from the first source to the spray head. A second inlet of the at least two inlets is in fluid communication with a different second source of water to provide water from the second source to the spray head.
