Eheim replacement barbs?

bdunosk · 06-03-2002, 08:58 PM

I'm talking to a guy in town with a used Eheim 1250 - I'm going to get it from him, but he's been using it in a resevoir. He also said he doesn't have the barb needed to run the pump inline (it's missing one?) At any rate, does anyone know where I can pick up a replacement?

Thanks in advance.

http://eheim.com/ ? maybe the folks at home depot might have a replacement?

Just my 2 cents

I'm assuming he means the 3/4" original Eheim Male Pipe Adapter with O-Ring Seal on it. This piece fits on the suction end of the Eheim (side). You can pick one up at Home Depot or Lowe's and get an O-Ring, but make sure to get some kind of leak-proof tape, or sealant like plumber's Epoxy just in case you have to make a better seal.

Or you can buy one from Cooltechnica here:

The O-Ring is more than enough to seal the pump

Even with lots of abuse it won't leak. That's Eheim quality
