Problem: Abyzz A1200 (not bought yet) metric intake/output sizing to marry up to US pipe sizing.
Can't seem to find someone who can tell me either:
a) "Oh you just need the right adapter and go here to buy it"
b) "Umm, install metric all the way from pump, all the pipe, and bulkheads and fittings" - (Yikes I say to myself silently!)
c) "Not as straight forward solution"
I wrote to Abyzz and heard back from Sascha, but I think something got lost in the translation as I still did not get the answer I was looking for.
Abyzz A1200 is 90mm intake and 75mm output. I found on CoralVue these metric-to-US pipe adapters. I wrote to them asking if these adapters will work for my solution. "Crickets" no word back from them for a several days.
I can easily upgrade US pipe size to accommodate a 90mm (3.54" inside diameter) intake and 75mm (2.95" inside diameter) output - and I prefer to do that using an adapter that does act like a reduction coupler.
Below is 1 adapter I found as an example. I have found none at the sizes I am working with.
Any suggestions on which way to go with this? Metric<->US Adapters (if I can find them) or re-pipe all in metric?
Your help here is much appreciated.
