authentic · Dec 8, 2017

Watched brs video and bought a sicce 1.0 for my calcium rector,they recommended a 1/2 in the 1/4 in fitting to connect 1/4 in tubing that can be inserted into John guest fitting on the reactor.No way to get the 1/4 in tubing over the barb on the pump.there must be an easy setup to connect a pump to the reactor.what pumps are people using and what connectionions? I'm trying to get online this weekend.any good way to expand 1/4in tubing,,,tried hot water and torch neither worked

I used a small piece of vinyl tubing to connect the two. If you’re interested I can get the size when I get home. I found it at Home Depot. It’s also worked well for creating dosing containers. You’ll still need to boil the pieces to create a solid connection.
