Where can i get metric male adapter fitting

[melt]

Hi I’m plumbing my Elos tank and I’m looking for metric male adapter fitting to standard pvc. I’m only finding female adapter to standard. Looking for 40mm male and 25mm male and the other end will be a slip for pvc pipe thanks

BRS,
CoralVue?

I also recommend CoralVue. I've purchased items for my CAD Lights tank which came with metric fittings.

Have you tried McMaster-Carr? BTW The Fittings on a lot of Return Pumps is British Standard Pipe Thread, “BSPT.” McMaster is the only place I’ve been able to find the adapter to PVC Pipe. If you go with these fittings use Schedule 40 pipe, not Thin wall PVC. The gasket needs a place to set on. BSPT type Pump Pictured.

What I have found useful is to find the standard fitting that is "close" to what you are trying to match up. Then, use a heat gun, heat up the fitting and then you can force the threads together without any leaking. I have done this without issues and did not have to special source fittings.

Go to Aquarium Supplies - Protein Skimmers, Wavemakers, LED Lights & More | CoralVue. Type in "metric" in the Search Bar and you'll see all the fittings you need. I have purchased fittings from them before for my CADLights tank.
