Piping up the jebao dcp-5000

fishkeeprian · 01/02/2018, 02:09 AM

What is the best way to couple the pump to my 3/4" return pipework?

I have hard plumbed down to the pump, then I was going to use flexible PVC clear pipe from pump to pipework (to reduce vibration), but how does all this fit together, what fittings do I need?

Does the clear PVC pipe just push into the Jebao coupling? does it need to be glued?

Those fittings should accept standard size PVC pipe which would need to be glued in.

Only pvc pipe goes into the fittings, not clear.

If you have your heart set on flexible you could glue a pcv threaded female end and add a threaded connector with a barbed end for attaching clear flexible...

No need for flex on a DCP pump.. Vibrations are not an issue..
Hard pipe right down to it..

i agree with mcgyvr.

I have a dcp 1000 i think is the model. I installed it this time last year it just runs runs and runs. never been cleaned or turned off. You can not hear it running and its hard plumbed
