My 1250 came with a fountian adapter fitting, and no US PVC size pipe would fit in it. So I took a 3/4" to 1/2" PVC adapter bushing, cut 3/8" US pipe threads in it, and screwed a 3/8" barb fitting in it. I put it in a 1/2" drill and turned the adapter down until it was a snug fit in the fountian adapter. Then I primed it and glued it with PVC cement, wrapped the 1/2" barb fitting hreads with teflon tape and screwed it in.
