Need help connecting my return pump!

[Brian Goldstein]

Hello Reefers-

I have a Red Sea Reefer 250. My Vectra S1 return pump is arriving tomorrow and I'm not sure if it comes with any connectors/adapters to fit the green tubing that came with the red sea reefer.

Can I connect the green tubing directly into the S1, or will I need some sort of barb?


Thank you!

You need a barb.
Not sure the size of the connectors on the S1 as I have ran only the M1 and L1.
But you need a slip barb

Thank you! Aren't the fittings for the S1 and M1 the same?

The M1 has the 1" and 3/4" couplings.

I think you will want either the 3/4" or 1" of these.

otherwise, you can use a different barbed fitting and attach it to a short section of 3/4" or 1" pvc pipe.
