3/8" NPT isnt smaller inner diameter than 1/2" BARBS. Just take ur pump to the hardware store.

U need a couple pieces to make it an elbow without cutting flow too much.

First piece is a 3/8" X However long u want it NIPPLE It is basically a small piece of pipe with 2 male 3/8" npt threads. YTou screw that into the outlet of pump.

This is the part that u need: male pipe to female threads. 1/2 male 3/8 female. Connect that to nipple. on th e3/8 side.

Then you need to go up to 1/2" npt cause the 3/8 elbows restrict a bit too much. You need a female female 1/2" elbow. Connect that to the reducer u just installed.

Now all you need is a 1/2 npt 1/2 barb for the 1/2 in hose.

Hope it helps
