Last night I opened all the way the drain valve to my skimmer section and the valve from my pump.

Eheim 1260 hookup question

I'm planning on using this pump and 3/4" flexible pvc for my return, but I'm unsure how to attach the two.

If there a pvc fitting that screws onto the pump's outlet threads?

Thanks Archieb. I ordered new bulkheads with the slip insides from Albert at Aquacave. Cannarella, Megaflow must have made the change fairly recently. What a stupid move.

Another option is just to cut the nipple ends off the bulkheads. I would have about 3/4" of thread to which to attach a pvc fitting. Is that enough?
