My Jebao pump came with fittings to attach flexible hosing but I'm using pvc instead. What kind of fitting will convert barbed to a slip pvc fitting?
 
There isn't one you would basically have to use another barbed end to slip to connect it to PVC and use a piece of tubing to connect it two barbed end together.
 
Which will also allow that little amount of play with the flex tube if needing to pull pump to right or left etc. I run all pvc except at hook up of equipment - it is all attached with a small amount of flex tube
 
You'll want to remove the barb fitting from pump and install a thread x slip fitting for PVC. The threads on Jebao DC pumps are BSP (British Standard Pipe - Parallel), not something you'll find at most local hardware stores.. To properly plumb this pump you'll need a BSP x ASTM adapter. I have hyperlinked parts for two models below:

Jebao DC-9000

Jebao DC-12000
 
Thanks everyone. I know nothing about plumbing.
