Replacement 1.25" collar for Red Dragon 3 60W

[inktomi]

Hi!

I'm working on plumbing a new tank, and want to reuse my Red Dragon 3 60W as a return pump. The issue is, it has been hard plumbed to a different tank with different size lines, and so I need to replace the 1.25" collar that's on the intake.

Royal Exclusive sells this part — https://www.royalexclusiv.com/Spare...crew-connection/collar-O-1-25-40-mm::548.html — but it cannot be shipped on its own because it doesn't meet the minimum sales value.

Any ideas on how I might be able to replace this? It's a VDL PVC-U 1.25" collar with part number 6 25 041 and the intake itself has half of a union on it, also from VDL part number 820040. It's the part that threads onto the pump, which is why I'm cautious buying a replacement. Any leads would be appreciated, or if you know if a Spears/Lasco union would thread onto the pump..

For anyone else, I took the pump to a plumbing store and tried a bunch of unions. Nothing worked, so I bit the bullet and ordered the part directly from the manufacturer. It was annoying that shipping was as much as the parts I bought.

FYI I have had them machined to remove the old pipe/fittings so I can re-glue my new pipe. Also they do stock some parts in their Florida office
