Thread: Airline to 1" pressure pipe without 10mm barbed nipple

Hello team
Please can you give me some recommendations for connecting my air pump to a 1" pressure pipe. I've got the 10mm barbed nipple and adapter (known as a direct air feed kit and rather expensive), but am looking for alternatives with wider inside diameters.
The 10mm barbed nipple is a pinch point, and has a narrower ID than the feed from my pump (Hailea 9820). Supplying this nipple with 10mm pipe would also increase friction.
So I'm looking for some combination of pipes and connections that are never narrower than the Hailea's output pipe. But am struggling to find adapters to fit the 1" pressure pipe.

What do you use? Can you recommend suitable connections please?

Thanks

most air pumps have a 3/8" bsp outlet for a barbed brass bush, but also a rubber boot to connect over the outside of the outlet rather than reducing the internal diameter.

EA use 12mm LLDPE tubing to connect thier nexus filter up, and 12mm air or water rated push fit fittings that fit over the pipe wich has an internal diameter of around 10mm.
I use this to connect all my air line with, to 100lph pumps and 80 lph pumps.
so your 60lph hailiea should be fine with something like that.
to connect to the 1" pipe i'd use a female bsp adaptor to 1/2" and a 1/2" x 12mm push fit adaptor.
