Hello people, loooong time lurker. Bought everything I need for a simple propagator a couple weeks ago, have been busy with college so only started on it this week. The water pump is a microjet 320 and the pvc pipe I have is 21.6mm (was the smallest I could find), how am I supposed to connect the two? Have been looking for a pvc reducer to connect them directly but no luck. The outlet on the pump is 12-13mm.

Thanks for the replies. There's a little plastic connector but it's not screwed in. It just slips out with a little pull. Have went to one or 2 hardware stores and even a plumbing supplies shop and they told me it was too small for anything they stocked. How would I go about doing it with flexible tubing?

clamp the tubing to the pump out let. run a vertical tube to desired height. install a Tee. then make the top part like the picture above.

Is it possible to use the tubing to connect it to the 21.6m pvc pipe? What size is the tubing in the pic above do you know?

1300l/h is about 325 gph. not a huge pump should be fine. and yes, see how it comes with different outlet fittings? this means you could remove the fitting and put a pvc one like shown above in its place

Oh ok. Gonna order that pump now in that case. I'll use the smaller pump to drip feed my tomatoes outside so no harm done. Thanks a million for your help!
