Has anyone tried this? I think it would save me some space and looks easy to do. Do you think a couple of O-rings could be used to provide increased reliability?

In the normal use of Eheim pumps (in fishtanks...) those screw fittings are used to clamp the attached hoses.
It works very well with thinwall hoses (1/16") but less with thickwall (1/8").
