Sicce Sycra SDC 9.0 pipe connectors

[Dburr1014]

I have had this pump for a good 6 years.
Well, I'm upgrading tanks and would like to change the connectors and run 1" pipe to the tank. I can't seem to find my 1" slips that came with the pump. I have barb, 3/4" slips, and one threaded pipe(I think, it's on the feed [external]).
I'm not even sure it came with 1" slips in the early editions. I don't even have temp on my unit.
Anyway, I reached out to Sicce this morning.
Does anyone know if they came with the early models or where to find? I just need one 1" slip for the return.

I don't know if it came with one but go to a plumbing supply and match one up. It should be a common fitting.

I don't think it's common.
It's captured by the nut and it has an o-ring on the front face.

I have numerous sicce pumps and yes the ones that come with it have a rubber seal but if it's going to be submerged it won't matter it it has a little seepage.

Okay.
I'm running external as said in the OP.

@Dburr1014 did you ever figure this out. I just picked up one of these pumps and the 1" pvc slip adapters only allow the 1" pvc pipe to slide in about 1/2"??? How are you supposed to glue that? Looks like there is a small ridge/stop on the inside of the adapter that needs removed to slide the pipe down farther.

It glues just fine. Just load it up.
I used hard pipe then coupled it.

Did you end up buying the whole adapter kit? I needed the 1" Barb connection but couldn't find one anywhere so I bought the entire kit.

Yes, I bought the kit and the next day found the one I was missing.

That's rough considering the cost of the kit from Sicce. I was shocked what they want for it.

Yeah, I need to pick up a couple rubber feet for mine. Pricey.
