kkwickcut had a good reply with parts that are generally available at Lowe's and most likely Home Depot. His last two links would accomplish what you need. As info, I just Googled Fernco.com. Sorry to say that I did not see any Fernco fitting that you want. You might try that, as well, and spend a little more time searching than I did, my old eyes could have missed something.

Well if the 3" are at a 90* angle to each other you could use a tee, but I could only find all 3" outlets, so you'd
have to do a 3" to 4" bell to get to the 4" pipe after the fernco.

I've never seen a Fernco with that configuration.

If you want, you could make the "wye manifold" with pvc/abs fittings and use Fernco straight couplers on all three ends (2x3" and one 4"). That way, if you decide later to further modify anything, that section would be easily removed to allow full access to the two 3" intake lines for separation. Maybe a picture of the 3" lines would provide better perspective/suggestions as to their relationship to each other.

Couldn't you use a 3" to 4" fernco on each line, continuing one line straight in to a 4"Wye and then have the other (now) 4" dive into it with a 4" 45 or 22's? I would stick a 4" fernco on the other end, just so you can remove it, since you'd have 2 of them one one side. I suppose it could be done that way without fernco's too.

Wow they have something to bad its 40.00 per . I need two so 80.00 is to much $ for me thanks http://flexpvc.com/cart/agora.cgi?p=...n&ppinc=detail
With only approx 1" change in elevation, the only thing that "might" work in this instance would be two 22.5degree. In 3" or 4" fittings, the change would be much more than 1".
Yes, sadly, specialty fittings are quite costly in these sizes. Sometimes you just have to bight the bullet on a few items. Been there, done that more times than I care to think of.

Anyone have any tricks to get the sieve/pipe alignment right to start with? Was thinking to set the sieve first, using a water level relative to the height of an overflow pipe to set the sieve and then plumb to that.
I measured from the base edges to the inlet of the sieve. Then I set the sieve in the dirt, pulled it out, then marked where the inlet pipe needed to come up.
