Sump Return Pump Selection - But need 1" Threads to fit with 1" PVC!!

[jumpinjammin]

Honestly,

Either I'm super stupid or I can believe what I have gone through to find the right pump return with 1" thread that works with 1" PVC.

So,

I decided I don't want to use any vinyl tubing and just use PVC from the pump on from my sump.

I bought an Eheim 1250, and it has 3/8" Threads? Nothing from what I can find at Home Depot is 3/8 inch. Why is such a respected company offering 3/8 threads. I'm possible to hard plum to 1" PVC.

Next was a Jebao 4000, I know they suck bought I just wanted to find a 1" thread. Guess what, 1" and 1 1/4" PVC don't fit at all.

It's crazy right??

Please let me know your suggestions on a return pump that has 1" threads that I can go to home depot and buy a 1" PVC connections, screw on and be happy...


Thank you!!

You may have to do a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter then a 1/2 to 1” adapter. Jebao all have metric parts. Sicce pumps are standard pipe thread if you change pumps.

Yeah, sicce makes nice standard us sized threads. I just put on a 1" threaded union on my sicce pro to go to barb, but you could easily do socket. No strange fittings, just straight npt. I put some plastic thread sealant on it, but other than that it doesn't get any easier.
