Eheim 1260 install help

[MTHuynh23]

I have a Eheim 1260 and a noob at plumbing...what is your input on connecting the return line(pvc) to my eheim....pics would help too..Thank you

all you need is on of these:
lasko schedule 40 adapter, then a small piece of pvc then a union for disconnections.
personally i would do barb fitting to vinyl 1-2ft then barb fitting to pvc, this will reduce vibration. sorry no pick, at work. the schedule 40 fitting can be found at lowes.

found a sample pic:


I this pic, i used the barbed fitting that came with the pump, to vinyl tubing, then back to barb fitting connected to a tee which feeds my reactor and return(not pictured). barbed on the other end to continue up to my returns.

hope this helps!
