Ok so i have a newa uv 18w and i managed to shallow crack the hose tail (not sure if this the correct term, i refer to the transparent part in the image above).

It is shallow, so its not deep and leakage is visible but im afraid that 24/7 of pushed water will eventually crack it and water all over the floor :)

So i went and looked for replacement parts but couldnt find anything. Also cant find something that will fit in AliExpress (im not from the states so I can mostly just use that).

The part according to the manufacture is called something like 1" BSPF 13-20-25MM
The female thread is 1" inch and the hose tail ranges from 13mm up to 25mm .

Please help me find a solution. I thought maybe to like find some pvc reducer, and on top of that a pvc hose connector maybe? Would love other suggestions if you guys have (maybe even the exact part if you manage to find).
 
Super Glue it.
Wouldnt it be harmful to the tank ? Like the same reason that you should use specific silicone type for fish tanks?
I have pvc cement, will that work also?

That’s what we all use to glue Coral Frags to Rock. The Plastic may not be PVC, so no. BTW, I Have a feeling that fitting is British Standard Pipe Threads. BSPT. Does the fitting have a gasket in it?
