The first step to making the "Y" (besides cutting the PVC) is to make the center where most everything connects to.
You must first use 2 of the 1.5" PVC to connect two sets of two 45º connectors together. You must then use the other two 2.5" PVC pieces to connect the two double 45º sections to the sides of the Tee.
