Eheim 1046

[Mike_CJO]

Hi,

I have got a eheim 1046 pump and want to be able to use 8mm ID hose with it.

The standard fittings are for 13mm inlet hose and 11mm outlet hose.

I believe the inlet thread is 1/2" NPT and the outlet is 1/8" NPT. Please correct me if im wrong.

Does any one know where i can get hold of either an adapter to allow standard 1/4" fittings or some kind of barb or fittings that will screw into the 1/2" and 1/8" and allow a 8mm ID hose to attach?

I was hoping to get everything set up this weekend but thats not going to happen now

Thanks for your help

Mike

afaik european eheims are BSP not NPT........
outlet is G1/8" (1/8" BSPP)

and as the inlet is the same part as a 1250s outlet it is G3/8" (3/8"BSPP)

hmm - not sure i've seen anywhere that does 8mm IDstuff.... is it a particular brand's standard?
