Derbird Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Alright I thought I was done in my line of stupid questions DOH! But here I go again For my tank build, the pump has a 3/4" hose fitting. And my tank has a 1" return pipe. This should be a simple fix. 1" hose on the tank and 3/4" hose on the pump with a adaptor somewhere in the middle. But I can not find the piece of plastic to connect the two. Any hints on where to find this would be greatly appricated. Or if I'm doing this all wrong (entirely possible :o) Please let me now that as well. Thank you for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerk1985 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 You can get a double sided barb fitting at lowes. They have them with one side 1" and the other 3/4". They do here atleast lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I did. I believe they are separate from the rest of the plumbing supplies on the next aisle over and they are grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Check the sprinkler section that's where most of that stuff is. I have found that Wilco has a large selection of that kind of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySaber Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 also check at a smaller hardware store like ACE they have tons of stuff that larger chain stores dont carry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
