Title: Aquatec pump fittings
Post by: Tristan R Clean on February 11, 2022, 03:53:20 pm

Afternoon

Does anyone know where I can buy the John Guest push fit fittings for the Aquatec pump that Gardiner used to sell?
I know Grippatank sell the pumps - I can’t seem to locate these specific parts.
I need them as spares as my tank frame fabricator snapped one while taking tank out.

Thanks
Tris

You don’t need specific fittings, just use a length of 12mm John Guest pipe with the aquatec fittings.

Dip it in some hot water for about 30 seconds, then just push it over the barb on the aquatec pump fitting. Secure it with a jubilee clip or pinch-type metal clip.

If you then use a different size if JG pipe in the rest of your system, just buy a JG reducer for the pipe you just put on.

The aquatec pump fittings can be bought at windowcleaningwarehouse, cleaning spot etc
