I have a mag drive to feed my vertex Ca reactor but I have no clue what connections I need from the pump to standard RO/DI tubing.

Anything helps.

Thank you!

The small mag drives are 1/2" NPT. You basically need a threaded female to female 1/2" NPT fitting and then a 1/2" threaded to 1/4" john guest or murlok fitting.

John Guest part# PP010824W

If you can't find that then BRS carries schedule 80 threaded reducer bushings. You need the 1/2" to 1/4". Then you just need a standard 1/4" threaded NPT to 1/4" john guest which is easily found at a hardware store.

K so you just make the converter not attached to the pump. Get a 1/2" barbed to thread fitting. Attach it to a female threaded on both ends 1/2" PVC fitting. Then other end is a 1/2" to 1/4" threaded reducer and then the 1/4" to push connect John guest fitting.
