Jebao DCP 6500 help

[goody]

Purchased this pump used and planned on running it inline. Seller mentioned that I could, but would just need plumbing. To me that meant pvc pipe and unions, but when I received the pump, none of the original fittings and O-rings were included. Contacted seller are refunded a portion because members from my local reefing club said Home Depot would have fittings. Unfortunately, nothing at Home Depot worked. Any suggestions on what I need or where I can get the parts?

I dont think you will find those fittings in the usa.
If you were in Dongsheng, Zhongshan， Guangdong， China you might find them.

I would consider buying another new so that you have a spare. Right now it's $100 on Amazon but the prices changes frequently (I paid $60 back in Oct for the same unit). I consider it cheap insurance for when the pump eventually fails.

Ouch, that sucks. Hope you didn't pay much for it as they are so cheap as it is. I agree with Weller that you should just buy a new one as insurance and use those fittings. If not try to contact the manufacturer to see if they will sell you the part.

Why wouldn’t it come with the fittings? Return it.

Bought it used on here. Would have returned and asked for full refund but local members said HD would have fittings that work.

I may end up buying a new one. Not a bad idea to have a back up.

I also read somewhere that the threads on these are inconsistent- meaning some are standard and others are not. The threads on mine DO NOT taper, they are parallel. Again, I read somewhere that this means I need British standard fittings like in photo, but I'm not sure what size to order based off my measurement.

With standard fittings at HD, the 2" was too big and 1 1/2" too small.

Thanks. Maybe, I'll contact BRS and they would know. Looking at the package, I would need to buy 2, and so I would need to consider if I should just buy a new pump. But this might be an option.

There are 2 different types of adapters that come with these pumps. One that will let you slide pvc hose over the fitting and one that will let you slide pipe/pvc hose inside the fitting and glue it in. Which one were you thinking of using and what size? Each pump comes with 2 types of fittings and 4 different sizes. I will use only 1 fitting (1", with hose going over it) but have all the other ones. I could send you whichever one you need your way. I am in Canada though, so no idea how long it would take for it to get to you.

PS: I see at least 1 O-Ring in the pic, so that is there.

I think he’s missing the threaded collars as well.

Yeah, good point. Missed that part. May be easiest just to buy another one and have spare pump when need be.

Same ...

I’m in Canada and have bought 2 of the dc pumps .
One 6500 and a 9000
Both came with tons of fittings which I only use the 1” fittings that the hose goes on the outside

6500 is for my salt mixing bucket ,
The 9000 runs my skimmer

I’m thinking of getting another to replace my return pump eventually
Either a new pump or larger display tank , not sure what upgrade will happen first
