Elos - flexible drain to PVC HELP!!

[bboersma79]

Anyone know how to convert the Elos flexible drain (vacuum tube) to PVC. I know it has been done but I don't know what fitting I need to convert this, I tried 1.5" adapter (too small), trying to connect down to 1.25" PVC.

Thanks!!

Never seen it specifically but I'd think a barb to threaded adapter should be all you need..

So, it's tough to advise on this without seeing pictures.

That being said I found those rubber repair connectors to be a wonderful tool in attaching PVC to barb or even pvc to pvc. They have a worm screw clamp on either side and slip over whatever your connecting. Not sure if you can use that here, just a suggestion.

Example: Connecting my bulkhead to my spa flex hose:
1) Glued stub piece of pvc to bulkhead
2) Inserted barb into spa hose
3) Used rubber repair coupling (Example: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Fernco-1-1-2-in-x-1-94-in-dia-Flexible-PVC-Coupling-Fittings/1000075329) to clamp down on pvc and barb connecting the two.

best of all is you simply unscrew it for maintenance or moving.
