Purchased the pump that is identical to my rig. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010TKMK4O...roduct_details
I have a couple of hard cases that used to be used for tape backups and other things that will work very well I think.
Tonight, I spent the last 2.5 hours at Lowe's and Home Depot. Wasn't able to find anything for the first 2 connections that would work. My problem is it is hard enough to find something that matches the threading, but then looking for an elbow on top of that. It is 1/2" but I am having trouble finding something that will properly thread to it. The best I found was a 1/2" to 3/4" garden hose female (green bag - brass connector) OR a 1/2" CPVC that then required actual PVC and gluing the next PVC part in place.
Here is the manufacturer's website:
https://www.pentair.com/en-us/produc...pass-pump.html
On that page there is a download spec sheet. The Ports are: "1/2"-14 NPSM-Male"

I would prefer to use PEX or a vinyl hose as you did. Also prefer to keep it 1/2" at least until the end. Prefer Brass>Plastic. On the exterior either want a reinforced vinyl hose or maybe a 3/4" garden host male end so I can hook up existing clean water hoses to it.
I did find this on Amazon after hours at Lowe's and Home Depot. https://www.amazon.com/Brennan-1501-...0373195&sr=8-2
I think that would work on the pump and it gets me a 90/elbow. Only 1 in stock at Amazon - need 2. Also, not sure what the NPTF Male 1/2" is....and what I would have to do from there....I may be done for the night. /smile
If you have a parts list - it may help me and others.
