Ok, dumb question time, but it'll help me work out my sizes better.. If you were buying two adaptors from Thorite: http://secure.thorite.co.uk/Index_Male_BSPT_Hose_Connector_164.html ..to fit in out/intake of an Eheim 1048, which ones would you buy, and why? I understand all the sizes etc, but I can't work out for the life of me why what I ordered wasn't what I expected. All info greatly appreciated.
Well, the threads on the 1048 are G 3/8 and G 1/4. That means it's a BSP Parallel thread of 3/8" and 1/4". So, all you have to do is tell us what bore size you're after and we're golden.
Doh, I'm not helping myself by not putting what tubing I'm using either 3/8"/8mm (I know 8mm isn't quite 3/8" but it fits snugly) So by my guessing, it's: BMH38 and BMH1438 If that's right (confirmation welcomed), I think they may have sent me the wrong things .
I had the same problem. My first order wasn't what I expected either. They were most helpfull when I gave them a ring and explained the problem. They're also aware of how much of there stuff is being used for kooling goodness. You can get some kits here? http://www.overclockedpc.co.uk/default.php?cPath=38_24
