parts and installation of no-brand pump

[primuspaul]

Got this no-brand pump I need to test out. Mainly I have two questions:

1. What parts do I need to install this? I think I need the below. Pipe image below so you can see what fits snugly into the adapter (but only into the inner half of it; see attached video in zip file).

• https://www.amazon.com/Spears-Fitting-Adapter-Schedule-Barbed/dp/B008I4CWZQ (1.5 inch variety) x 2
• https://www.amazon.com/4607-1-1-Degree-Elbow-Schedule/dp/B007Q2FXY8/ x 1

2. How exactly does the provided (came with pump) black adapter seal against the integral receiving pipe of the basket chamber? Does it just create a watertight seal due to the smooth plastic surfaces being compressed against each other? Video attached in zip file.




Pipe that fits:

What you colored in green. That's the black piece in my video that gets tightened onto the integral pipe of the pump's basket housing. I just don't get what principle it uses to be watertight.

Should have an oring on the mating surfaces.

It is a union and uses compression and an O-ring inside.

They are commonly used for pump connections.

Found the O-rings. Were in a separate bag. That item makes sense now.

Anyone have any idea about the parts I selected? Do they look like they will work?

I'm not set up with YT, but here's the overview (note I have the same adapter for the top of the pump; I just left it off so people can see what it looks like without said adapter that is seen installed on the side of the pump):


And here is the video:

Assuming it's designed to fit 1.5" internally you would need pvc primer and glue to make it work.
