Hello all,

I just bought the redsea 170e sump upgrade kit and I want to build a manifold. I know there were prior issues trying to modify on the metric Redsea plumbing with standard plumbing. I want to use 1" PVC from BRS for the manifold.

Can anyone comment/instruct me on how to connect my manifold with the Redsea's stock plumbing? Is there a specific connector that will link the metric to standard?

Thank you!
 
Hardware stores sell a silicone sleeve with hose clamps at either end. You should be able to find one that fits close enough to tighten down on the metric plumbing.
