Well I can definitely under stand that situation. Reminds me of the bad old days.
Looking forward to your results.

The suction side is a 1" male iron pipe nipple. The discharge comes with several different adapters in a bag for you to choose from. I always use a short piece of flexible tubing right off my pumps to isolate vibrations and sound transfer through my piping so I used the 3/4" barbed outlet myself then convert to PVC after that.

Actually it is NOT 1" IP, it is metric. You can force fit 1" IP to it

Instead I prefer to epoxy a 1" SLIP union over the suction side and a 1.25" over the discharge side.

They are quiet and cool running. Even quieter are the Velocity T3/T4 pumps, but they dont run so cool.

Myabe cooler running that T4 (I never took the time to measure)

But certainly not quieter than the T4. Good pumps though. I have (2) T4 pumps and almost ran the pan worlds... but they were not quiet enough.

With ZERO overflow noise and no other equipment noise, you CAN NOT hear the T4. You actually have to touch the pump to determine if it is running. It really does not even make a "hum" louder than a whisper. My Eheim makes more noise than the T4s.

The panworlds are certainly louder.... and the OR, well they sound like freigh trains compared to either the T4 or PW. (I run on OR3700 on my skimmer).
