For the people that owns a waterbox tank and connected a rollermatt by red sea? When u cut your main pipe do i need reducers or couplers to connect the red sea roller matt? Or is the one provided by red sea would fit

Don’t have a waterbox so don’t know their size but redsea sells conversion bulkheads
 
Waterbox uses 1.25in so you will need to reduce down to 1in. I also didn't have enough room for the hose so I used a 1inch slip elbow instead.

Here is a photo.

I didn’t cut pipe or use reducer . I used what was provided in the roller Matt package . I have waterbox 220
 
Ah I didn't even know that my 1200 came with a 1.25in adapter, I knew I couldn't use it anyway so I never even looked at it.

So if thats the case what do i do? Cut a little bit from the main pipe and fit one of the adapters?

Yeah seems so. I pulled out the part and confirmed it will slip into a 1.25in, it's a reducer. It should just slip in.

Actually I think I made a mistake here. I think you may need a small 1inch pipe to connect it. See photo with a 1in pvc pipe. Perhaps not all waterbox tanks are 1.25in, not sure. I know I would need to reduce on mine. It's an infinia 4825.

put glued the black adapter piece that came with kit to the flex hose then the other end to the drain . No cutting of drain pipe . The black piece that comes with the 1200 wasn’t a super snug fit but with the sealant provided sealed good and was nice and sturdy
 
What kinds of wb tank do you have ? This my sump
