The clear hose is 19mm ID .. This is the same dia as the pump discharge port.
I decided against a bigger dia hose as it wouldn't increase the pumping distance due to the larger hose volume.
Initially I only wanted 15mt of hose but it was only sold in 30mt reels and cost Ģ42, but it was cheaper than buying from B&Q at Ģ3/ mt
I cut it into two equal lengths and it pumped through this with ease, if in future I need a bit longer I'll join and put it to the test.. B&Q sell 19mm plastic hose couplers for pond hose.
The pump has a 1" male American thread, the adapter from Pirtek has a female thread with a 19mm dia hose tail.
Hope that all made sense..

Sorry Geo .. no part number, the best bet is to take the pump to Pirtek and ask for a connector.. it's a standard 'push over' hose tail fitting, hose secured with a jubilee clip. Cost a fiver
Hi Jim, thinking of going the same way with the Flojet, where did you connect for the power?Thanks.
Hi
I haven't installed the power supply yet, I did the trial using a temporary supply. I'm going to run a supply from the 12v distribution box into the sewage locker.
You could simply connect to the coach battery using croc clips but I prefer a more permanent and convenient solution..

I agree a permanent connection would be far better, I"ll have to see where when I get one.BTW ABP are offfering the Flojet in the case at Ģ195.00 , are they good/bad? Cheers

hi I wired mine up to the batteries which are on the other side and nearer the front, I used a standard 20amp twin MCB fuse box which I fitted into the sewage compartment and then connected 4mm wire in plastic trunking to an existing 50amp fuse next to the batteries, distance after all the twists and turns about 15'.
After I had done all this Duncan (Starspangledspanner) pointed out that I could have wired in to the genny in the next compartment. distance about 2'
