Where to buy 1/4" to 1/2" NPT nylon fitting for Eheim pump?

SHStormont · Dec 13, 2007

I have an Eheim 1048 and I was able to pick up a NPT 3/8" to NPT 1/2" nylon barb adapter for the input at a local hardware store, but I'm having a heck of a time finding one for the output.

I bought one of the "Danger Den G 1/4" High Flow Thread Barb - 1/2" ID" barbs, but the 1/4" threads aren't long enough to fit into the Eheim.

Thanks for your help!

"G" 1/4 is BSPP 1/4 and has a thread count of 19. It's also a straight thread.
NPT 1/4" has a thread count of 18 and is a taper thread.

The two are not cross compatible.

Performance-PCs.com offers the adapters you need if you want both ports changed to G1/4 (BSPP)

If you just want a Nylon 1/2" NPT to 1/2" barb I have one I could just mail to you in a padded envelope.

I want something that I can screw into the "13mm/G1/4" " pressure side on the Eheim and have 1/2" barbs on it.

So If I were to purchase http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=201&products_id=4513

Then I would screw that into the pressure side on the Eheim and then screw the D-Tek barb that I purchased into it?
