Reefer 525 plumbing upgrade parts list

[West1]

I'm looking to upgrade the return line. I've read multiple threads where I need a Red Sea OEM return and remove the slip fit.
Is this the proper one?

If all you are doin is the return you dont need to buy the part from red sea. Just need an O-ring and a standard thread to slip (if you are goin to hard plumb) fitting (i think its 3/4 thread, been awhile since i did mine) and some nylon thread tape. If i recall, youre in the Boise area, i have the O-rings if you need one. Shoot me a PM and i can send you a photo of how i did mine this evening.

I just found a photo on my phone.

The barb on the redsea fitting unscrews, i put the 0-ring on the standard fitting and wrapped about 8x in tape then screwed in. Have had no issues doing it this way. If you wanted to remove the bend in the plumbing to the return you will need to buy the redsea fitting though. GL
