Convert 100.3 Metric Plumbing to Standard

[Michael Gray]

I'll just order the 25 and 2 32 then and forget what site says.

I wonder if they have a 25 to 1 inch so I can run cor 20 1 inch all the way up

Can you order the return which accepts the manifold separately? mine didn't come with that syle just has a barbed end fitting

That is my exact problem @djray77 did you ever build your manifold, if so what did you use?

Yes, I bought a metric to standard union from coralvue.

Can you send me a pic of your set up? Where did you place the “t” fitting that goes to your manifold?

 

[djray77]

I don't have that tank anymore but here is a pic of how I did the manifold.
This is the union I used, I think its the 25mm to 3/4 if I remember right.

@djray77 did this coral vue union match up with the water box union? Ei, you could keep the top half of the waterbox union and just put on the bottom half of the new union and slide standard PVC right from there?

I'm looking to do something like this myself and this would be perfect if it's that simple.

Yes, it worked. it matched up and I was able to use standard PVC.

Here is a video that I made this evening that details the conversion of my 100.3’s metric plumbing to standard plumbing. The parts used are linked to in the description of the video.

Hope this helps!

I am in a pickle where I need the bulkhead for the return as mine broke. Do you still have yours and want to sell it? If not can you make this video public again so I can watch it?
