I need to replace the main drain plumbing in my Reefer 170 and I also want to install a new return pump. Can someone assist in a part list? Below is a picture of what I'm currently working with. The original owner put in the spears valve and it has always had a slow drip which is why I'm looking to install new plumbing. Thanks in advance!

Currently the drain pipe connects to soft tubing to a reef mat 250.

Any authorised Red Sea dealer sells complete plumbing parts, just head down to your LFS or find the one you trust online and order a new drain and return :upside-down-face:

Here's the one I use here in the UK.

Did you ever get it sorted out?
 
Not yet. I think the G2 parts fit but I'm waiting for someone on here or Redsea to confirm. I put a ticket in to Red Sea support today.
 
According to RedSea support the G2 parts will not work in the 170 Classic. Below are the part numbers for the classic.

  • R42216 - Sump Valved down pipe RF 170
  • R42219 - Sump overflow downpipe RF 170
  • R42221 - Sump pump return connector 16mm
