Joe: quick question on the MagDrive 250 fittings...

[lisch]

Joe, i noticed you have used these mag drive pumps by Danner for some time now; i think im going to order the 250 GPH model, but was wondering what kind of connections come on the in/out ports? 3/8" ID right? so all i need it to thread coper 3/8" barbs into them to connect to the hoses right?

thanks..

[Joe]

you using one of the bog mag drives or lil ones? ( not sure if if its the lil 250 or not)

oh sorry, i didnt order it yet, i was waiting to figure this out...

i was gona get the litle one; the 250 GPH Supreme Mag Drive; it looks just like the ones from your DH1/2 articles.. its like 33 bucks...

[Joe]

those are 1/2" fittings on there, so you need to adapt them to what ever hose fitting you will be running

ok, sorry to be lame in this, 1/2" fittings means you would use 1/2" OD hose, w/ 3/8" Inner Diameter. right?

same for most all waterblocks etc.. so the most used hoses are 3/8" ID like what you used in your DH3 rig.. so i wouldnt have to make adapters for 1/2" fittings right? http://www.procooling.com/ubb/frown.gif

[Joe]

the pumps in DH3 are small and have 3/8" hose barbs itself so there were no converters needed. ( they are also only 150GPH per pump)

On the supreeme Mag Drive pumps its a 1/2" ID that needs to be converted to a 3/8" hose barb.

The top fitting is 1/2" OD and needs to be converted to 3/8" hose barb

ok, thanks! that help a lot.
so those just screw in w/ tape then...

[Joe]

I would use Plumbers goop to seal the fittings, its more of a perm deal, but it will make sure its water tight.
