double drain overflow?

Has any one put two durso's in an AGA overflow? I don't know if they will fit in my 65. but if you could run two returns and plumbed the returns in from the outside you could handle more flow?

Saw this some where and I am just thinking.....

You have to consider the overflow box itself also. I took a grinding wheel & made the fingers on the box bigger to handle a higher rate but I think this can be done, I have plans myself in doing this installing two 1" drains, with two Stockman's instead of Durso's. I can't put two Durso's in my box, it is too small for that. You may not need more than just adding the drains in your AGA.
