Jebao dcp18000 thread size

[Garets92553]

Just got a new jebao dcp18000 of amazon today but missing the screw on nut. I know it’s a weird thread. I don’t want to wait for Amazon. Does anyone know the size/thread and if I can pick one up local hardware store?

I would wait for the amazon replacement, I understand the newer jebao are metric versus the older units being imperial. Most imperial threaded pumps use 1 1/4" for the inlet but I'm pretty sure that is not true if the current jebao pumps.

I don't think you'd find the compression nut in a metric size that large at an american hardware store. I think you'd have to buy a union to steal it from but I've never seen metric unions for sale locally.

Yeah I got a 1 1/4 union that was a little to big so I wrapped a bunch of Teflon tape around the threads snugged up nice and tight I figured perfect until I got a replacement part from Amazon. Until I grab the pump to take it inside and noticed wrong pump say 15000. Controller and box says 18000. Returning whole thing new pump coming Tuesday
