    It's probably 3/4 slip, try and piece and see. There are adapters for that, less then $5. (Probably like $2 really.)

    Yes it says 3/4 right on it. What is it used for? The piece I'm missing is 3/4 PVC Insert 90 Degree Ell ins x mpt For connecting to flexible tubing.

    The vinyl tubing will not glue to the elbow even if it were the same size. You need to use a 1/2" barbed nipple fitting which inserts inside the vinyl tubing. How you adapt the barbed nipple to the elbow is up to you unless there is in fact something missing in the kit. The parts are common and readily available at any hardware store. Better stores like Ace and True Value may even have a 3/4" Slip x 1/2" barbed nipple in stock that would not require a bushing.

    I'm confused... Is GH not going to send you the missing part? Won't that solve you problem?

    OK. That makes more sense. Sorry about the grammar in my earlier post. It should have been "your" not "you".

    Miz,

    What kit did you order? It sounds like they may have mixed something up on you! From their website, if you ordered the Nano In and Out kit, it is suppose to come with 1/2" tubing and a 1/2" elbow to connect it to. If you ordered the 700gph In and Out kit, it is suppose to come with 3/4" tubing and a 3/4" elbow. However, with either option, it looks as though they haven't included the barbed nipple needed to actually connect from your tubing to the elbows! Strangely, they do include the clamps though!
