Hi all, where would I buy the tube that goes from the return pump to the flow nozzle that would be compatible with an Eshopps Deskmate?

Bought one yesterday but missing that part. Thanks!

Like I mentioned in your other post; you can purchase tubing at any hardware store, or at online retailers…

I’d just take the pump in to your local hardware store and find a vinyl or silicone tubing that fits on the pump outlet nice and snug!

The issue is I don’t have the 90° connector that would attach from the hose to the flow nozzle.

I have a VCA random flow generator, so even if I get the hose, I can’t connect it to the nozzle and have it be secured

So you don’t have the loc line adapter for the RFG, or whatever is on the other side of the partition?

Care to share a photo or photos of what you’re referring to?

As of right now I’m using a previous return pump rig, but I just need the parts that actually fit for the deskmate

Well, a cursory search doesn’t show any specific return plumbing kits for sale…

It looks like you might have to get creative here and build your own!

This would consist of a small bulkhead (carefully measure the drilled hole in the AIO divider to spec this), a barb x NPT elbow adapter, a NPT x loc-line adapter…

What size loc line is your VCA random flow generator sized for? (That is, are you using a single 1/4” RFG? Or the kit with dual 1/4” RFGs attached to a 1/2” loc line wye?)
