Yes, thats what I used for both my return and my closed loop. I have 1" bulkheads so I used 1" x3/4" reducer bushing and screwed the 3/4" locline male adapter into it.

AZ answered it but I'd like to recommend that you take the piece in question with you (to Lowe's or HD) when you go to purchase the remaining plumbing.
There's nothing worse than having everything planned and purchased, only to get home and realize you bought the wrong piece/size.

Yes it does in most instinces, most LOC lines come with their male and female parts and all you need to do after the elboe in the overflow part is a slip fitting, which can be glued or just sliped on (recommend glueing of course) if you are talking after the overflow as I said above, all of mine has come with the correct fittings. Since you did not mention which part of the LOC line you are reffering too, I hope I helped on both,

Good luck and Happy Reefing
