What type and size fittings do you use to connect to the output of a maxijet? I want to hard plumb from my maxi output to 1/4 JG fitting, but cant find any fittings that match the outlet size.

Any ideas?

i think I saw a pic on here once of a fitting glued to a maxijet, I may use tubing if no one can help out.

I've glued clear tubing in the past but am trying jg fittings right now. I picked up the 1/2" jg for the smaller outlet and have to go to Lowe’s tomorrow for the 3/4 jg for the inlet. I think they will slide right on just like they do on hose.

I wanted to use a JG fitting on a Maxi and found that the 1/4" was too small but the 3/8" worked perfectly. The noozle slides right in and locks.

Maybe it was the 1/2". I took the output tube with me to HD and I just know that I found one that it fit perfectly.
