One end to pump but what do I need to convert the other to accept 1/2 hose.

The bottom one from the drop down menu - 1/2" male thread to 1/2" barbed hose tail.
But why would you want to use that rather than directly fitting 1/2" hose to the pump ?

I think the issue is at the other end. That screwfix link pipe is for a compression fitting into 15mm copper pipe.
If its a Shurflo pump then he needs the fittings they supply.

Other pump manufacturers will have their own fittings.

Yeah, you're right, having looked again its a compression fitting !
tlwcs is there any reason why you want to use that flexi hose ?

I have a hd power reel with the 1/2" barb. I'm looking to change the pump to a sureflow and thought the flexi hose was a good option, providing I can find a fitting to go on the barb

On the end of the flexi, take off the nut and olive and fit something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Outside-Tap-Connector-Garden-Hose-x/dp/B0015UT0LO

Whatever you do you are probably going to have to connect a short bit of 1/2" hose to the end of it. I'd sooner just buy a length of the braided reinforced hose and be done with it, far simpler. Gardiners sell it by the meter as do a lot of places.

i agree.braided reinforced hose is the best for pump/van mount system fittings.
