Help with Vectra M1 plumbing (1 Viewer)

[tvu]

How's everyone plumbing their Vectra M1 to their return(s).

The output from the pump looks to be 3/4" but I need to connect to my 1" PVC plumbing.

Thanks,
Josh

There are some adapters to convert to Schedule 40
BRS have a few on their site such as this one.

Vectra M1 Sch. 40 Adapter Kit - Ecotech Marine - Bulk Reef Supply

Yes thanks I saw that but it seems a pain that I have to spend another $10 then also have to buy something to reduce 1.5" to 1" for my plumbing. Kinda sucks... Anyone have a clever solution where I can just pick up parts from lowes or Home Depot?

You should be able to get a 1" coupling and 1"x.75" reducing bushing at lowes (maybe) or home depot (for sure). For some reason my lowes has reduced the number and types of pvc fittings.


1" pipe -> 1" coupling <- 1"x.75" bushing <-.75" pump pipe

Ok thanks Steve. I agree there's no consistency with store inventories.

You are also going to need this to glue the pvc to the abs pump fitting.
Shop Oatey 4-fl oz LO-VOC PVC/ABS Transition Cement at Lowes.com

oh yeah the green stuff... that's what I use to glue pvc to the abs bulkhead fittings..


that's to glue that blue compression ring onto the PVC correct?

Think I found a solution to pipe to 1" PVC at lowes

Not pretty but hey it works.

Steve, it is much cheaper than the $10 kit from Ecotech.
