I'm ignorant with plumbing, and I'm trying to figure out how to plumb my return to my tank.
My return pump needs a 3/4 male threaded connection for the return. The overflow pipe it's going to needs a 1 1/4 female thread. I was hoping to use vinyl tubing rather than hard plumbed PVC but my problem is how to adjust the size.
I'm thinking since the pump connection is 3/4 I should stick with that sizing but trying to find a connection that is female threaded and reduced from 1.25 to .75 is turning out to be very difficult. I can find plenty of male threaded reducers but no female ones. I've been looking at barbed fittings, been to lowes, home depot, BRS website can't find what I need.
Am I looking at this totally wrong, what does everyone think?
