ELOS Drain Line PVC Barb Adapter???

[bboersma79]

All, quick help here, I am trying to find the barb to PVC adapter to connect my ELOS flexible drain line to 1 1/4" PVC, I though it was 1.5" but that size barb adapter seems way too small for the drain line and I believe 2" is too large. Can anyone help me out here?

Here is the barb fitting

and then you'd have to use a coupler to attach it to your pvc line (assuming you're gluing it together)

I tried that 1.5" adapter and it is very small vs inside diameter of pipe is it the 2" I need?

Vs inside diameter of tubing I should have said. Or do I just clamp it tightly onto the 1.5" barb fitting?

Clamp it tightly to the barb fitting if it'll work for you. Do you have any pictures of what you're trying to do to help?

Here are some pics. Elos apparently uses metric since it is Italian but I have seen people connect them to Pvc which is what I am trying to do. I am basically just try in my to add a valve and route the drain line better to cleanup my sump area.

Oh boy, I see what you mean. My only concern is when you try to clamp tubing down that much, you get little crevices where the tubing crimps and the water will seep through. #reefsquad any ideas how to seal this?

Thanks...any ok n here with specific experience w elos dragon line diameters? My concern on buying different tubes is still getting it to match tank bulkhead if also metric.

Oddly enough, years later, I'm trying to hard plumb my Elos 120XL (I have an older Elos model), I believe the drain is 40mm (vs 1.5 or 2"), barbed. I'm wondering what type of connector goes on this, is there a barb to PVC 1.5" adapter, what did you end up doing?

Thanks!

Hey, totally potentially reviving an ancient thread here but I've aquired an Elos Pool 70 with the old drain and I was wondering if you had finished plumbing your Elos! Thanks
