Looking for help from the hive mind

I have an external pump that uses 1” threaded fittings but I’m running 3/4” plumbing. So I’m looking for an adapter that has 1” female threads in one side and will accept 3/4” pipe on the other side. I’ve looked at Home Depot, PVC fittings online, and a couple of others.

Would appreciate any help finding this piece or maybe it doesn’t exist?

Thanks in advance

I don’t think it exists in a single fitting, but I’m sure you can find a way to make it work. But do make sure that you know what kind of threads your pump has. Many pumps use BSP threads while American PVC fittings use NPT threads and they will not fit together.

Thanks @Brett S I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to string together a bunch of fittings. But might be my only choice. I’ll double check the threads too.

Pretty sure something like that exists, but not finding in on the Home Depot site. You could always do it with two parts:

Yup 2 parts are whats going to be needed.

A coupler(1" screw to 1" glue), and a reducing bushing(1" to 3/4"). I don't think what your looking for is even made? Least not with threads on it. I had to do the same thing for a pump, and it was the only solution I could find.
