I originally had this issue also...
Trash the wedge pipe, it's poorly designed IMO and needs to be closed too much in order to raise the water level in the skimmer body.. It would work fine if the riser was about 3" taller but that is something Reeflo needs to address in newer models.
Assuming you have not glued the pipes together it is an easy fix. Use the adapter pipe that is tooled down on one edge to 1.5" directly to the union on top of the box. Then you can put a 1.5" gate valve on the top of the pipe and use a standard 1.5" tee to build the rest of the output.
