I used super glue because thats what I had. You can use sealing tape or just about any other type of waterproof glue. Superglue was quick and it works great for plastics and porus metal.

When I sealed my system I used plain old "goop" the "outdoor" stuff..

I got it form lowes I think... or home depot.


comes in a green tube, I think the pakacge showed an example of sealing a hose and stuff.. this stuff bonds good, and seals good. just make sure and test it after each application has dried. sometimes you might miss something.

Ive actually used both. They both work great. The only problem I ran into was if for some reason I needed to take the barbs off, the super glue was a bis natch to get off. The sealer/epoxy was alot easier.

I used 3500 psi epoxy. That stuff works great!!! I think you can get it at Wal-Mart.

drill a hole just smaller then the barbs, screw the barbs into it, take them out, rap them in teflon tape and screw them back in, looks good and is water proof.
