Jebao DCT Owners Question

jpfishfan09 · 03/14/2016, 10:41 PM

To those that have these newer return pumps, what is the size of the pipe threading if I want to use PVC for the return? I'm interested in the 6000. I have looked everywhere and can only find the barbed hose fitting size

To reduce vibration you could use the barb fitting and go with hose to hard pipe. That way vibrations from the pump wont rattle your return pipe.

These pumps are very quiet is what people are saying, so vibrations aren't too important to me. Anyone else on the size of the threading?

I've got an 8000 on order and don''t have it on hand and can't say with a 100% certainty but I've read numerous posts that these pumps have NPT threads.

Oh awesome. I was scared it would be metric instead of NPT. Then my worries are gone

I used the supplied hose barb, then got a 1" hose and cut it to about 8" long, then that adapts to my pvc return line.
