I am connecting a pump with 3/4" FPT inlet, 3/4" MPT outlet to a 1" system. This is for my water mixing station. I figure I'll need unions and ball valves, but I'm staring at websites for PVC fittings and getting super confused.
The bushings I found only reduce from 1" FPT to 3/4" FPT as far as I can tell. Do I need a nipple for the inlet side? Just coming up with a freaking parts list is drivign me crazy, let alone finding the parts all in one place. I've now ordered fittings from aquacave and two local hardware stores and I think I still have the wrong ones.
My biggest problem is knowing when you need slip, when threaded, and how many bushings and adapters. I bought a bunch of slip-slip unions and slip-slip ball valves, but I suspect that was a mistake. I just want to figure out the parts list! Any help is greatly appreciated!
