soft plumbing Vecta M1

[josh.j.avila]

So I just realized my pump is at my new house. I want to pick up everything I need to get this working when I arrive tomorrow. I think I need to use PVC into the vecta and then a spigot to soft tubing. My question is what size PVC do I use, is the vecta threaded? So I need to get a threaded end and cement that to the PVC and then cement a barb spigot to the other end? Since I don't have it with me any help would be greatly apperciated. My return is 0.75

Buy the pvc adapters from EcoTech marines website. The Vectra uses British thread and it's likely the easiest and cheapest way to source these fittings, as they retail for about $10 or so on the ETM website.

The threads on the Vectra are not standard threads. They are called BST and you won't find any fittings at normal box stores.
Like fredro said, the adapters can be bought on EcoTech's website.

I've read where some have forced standard fittings on the pump, but I wouldn't trust it.
Plus, you are paying a ton for these pumps, why not use the proper fittings on them.
