The pump is 1" a male 1" pvc adapter screws into the pump okay. But
The other end of the adapter needs a male 5/8 threaded part to screw into a garden hose .

What would you call that type of fitting??

Hi Oneill474:


I would call that a BRASS 1" male x male hose adapter or a 1" male x female hose adapter.

They should be able to make something like that up at a local plumbing supply store. You could also make it from parts at home depot.

You may just need to start with a 1" brass nipple to a 1"x3/4" reducing coupling and then install a 3/4" male x 3/4" male hose fitting (see 1st pic.)... or could also go to a 1/2" male x female hose adapter (3rd pic.) with a 1" x 1/2" reducing coupling. The 2nd pic. is a 1/2" female x male hose adapter... another option with a 1/2" brass nipple.

Hope that helps...
