Hey, so I thought I knew enough about PVC but apparently not. I have no idea what to do with this barb.

I’m trying to plumb my Innovative Marine 200 INT. This is the return it came with. It’s clearly plumbed for soft tubing, but I’m going to be running rigid PVC under the stand. All the pieces are glued together so I can’t take anything apart.

Is there a fitting that can attach to the barb that will convert to rigid PVC? If not do I just connect a small piece of flex tube to the and then attach that the PVC, and if that’s the way to go what piece would I need?

Is there a simpler way I am not seeing?

A barb to threaded NPT

To NPT to pipe

I've never seen a barb to slip fitting

Guess that's one there. That's the ticket
