Eheim Pump adapters

I have an eheim pump model 1260 and I am looking for a 1 inch to 5/8 screw type adapter

Does anyone know where I can get the adapter that I need? I tried to get an adapter from home depot and it leaked on me But luckily it only leaked on the top of the pump

I basically just need the other piece shown in the pic I need to replace the white outlet one with the one on the front of the pump. I put thread tape on both of the fittings but the white one was bought at home depot and it didn't really thread in all the way, so I kinda had a bad feeling about it.

Thanks guys!!!

http://www.mcmaster.com/ has every fitting imaginable. Finding exotic fittings locally can be challenging.

i just brought my barb to home depot and tried the npt fittings they had there. the one i bought didnt fit but i ended up putting alot of teflon on it and its stayed leak free ever since. but unless you know what size npt you need i would recommend going to ace's hardware before ordering from mcmaster.

I went to that site and I believe I found what I was looking for. There is soooo much stuff to go through I didn't know where to start but I believe I found it.

Thaks for all the advise guys, hopefully this will work and I get finally get my new rig going!!

I had a leak problem w/ my eheim too. I just slaped a *bit* of RTV on it and called it sealed.
