Yes, I saw that on the HD site, but it does not list the NPT end size. I suppose I could drive up there and look in person.

That's listed as 1"mpt to 1/2 barb. They don't call it NPT.

Another problem...even though the pump says it's a 1" and 3/4" outlet (via adapter) it really not. It is threaded for 3/4" so now the part I ordered isn't going to work. I'm looking at hard piping it but the hole through my back wall is 3/4" and the lock line adapter is 3/4" ID. The problem is that 1/2" PVC is .840" in ID so it won't fit through the back wall, nor will it fit into my lock line adapter.

Here is what I ended up doing. The plumbing parts came out of the sprinkler/irrigation section.
