Eheim pipe thread sizes

[periclimenes]

I need to know the thread size ( diameter and pitch) for eheim 1060 and 1250 and 1046. (trying to neaten up plumbing).
Any clues?

Hi there,

If your talking about hard piping then for the 1060 the intake is a standard 3/4 inch fitting and the output is a standard 1/2 inch fitting. Not sure about the other eheims though.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Thanks. I'm trying to get the connectors which screw into the female threads in the body of the pump rather than "slip" fittings which glue over the existing inlet and outlet tubes. They look to be some sort of taper thread (?nptf/bspt)

Hi there,

They ARE the thread sizes, all you need to do is get "tank connectors" (same as the ones you use for your return pipes etc.) in the sizes ive mentioned for the 1060 they simply screw in. they are definately right as they are the ones im using on my external 1060 at the moment.

Hope this helps.


Cheers

Thanks Ga
Now sorted -- the diameters are 1/2" and 3/8" for a 1250. Didn't realise the thread pitch is standard (?BSP)
