How is this done?
I need some advice on the following situation. I'm going to be using an eheim 1250 pump, which comes with 1/2" fitings on the out side, and 3/4" on the suction side. The whole circuit is going to be 1/2". So I need to get a reducer for the 3/4" side.
Now I've found some couplings... First one I found was $7 + shipping FOR A PIECE OF PLASTIC!!?!?!?!? The second place I found that sells them, it was $.15... Great price, too bad you need to order $2000 worth of stuff from them to place an order.
So does anyone have any tricks or know where to buy this kind of coupler? I was thinking that maybe I could get a 1/2" copper coupler for copper piping. Then just stretch the 1/2" tubing over it, and then the 3/4" tubing over that... Then wire tie the hell out of it. Does this sound like a dumb idea or has anyone tried something like this in the past?
