how do I use larger pipe on a small output pump

[nitrofish]

I have a mag 12 that I want to connect a large pipe to for a return but I can't seem to be able to find an adapter to conect the small threaded output on the pump to a sutable size pvc pipe.

All you need is one of these, they are available in male and female types at any plumbing supply or maybe you will be lucky enough to have this one walk by your house.

LOL Good one Jim.
But he'll need a female adaptor for the mag 12.
3/4" if I'm not mistaken.
The way I would do it is:
(Going to 1")
Buy a 3/4" x 1" thread x slip bushing
And a 1" coupling
When glued together you end up with a 3/4" female x 1" slip adaptor.

?? why not just buy a 3/4 female to 1 inch adaptor?

Hmmm don't think I've ever seen one?
But yea of course that would be ideal

www.plumbingsupply.com has them as well. I just ordered two MIPT to FIPT 1" to 3/4" fittings... they are cheap too I am doing the same thing... going from 3/4" male threads to 1" male threads.
