[QUOTE="Zeus103363, post: 3891750, member: 83638"] Other posters are right, don't use anything galvanized! On the suction hose, what ya need is called a " king comb nipple". You can get in different sizes, mill finish, or stainless. One end is threaded, the other end has been crimped so it will grip the suction hose. Screw in a short nipple, with a 3000# forged 90 or 45 degree elbow, which ever angle works best. Screw the king comb nipple in that, and your suction hose will fit the other end. Galvanized fittings has a tendency to flake off and can cause problems in your pump. I prefer stainless fittings as so you don't have to paint them. Nothing uglier than a nice piece of machinery with rusted hydraulic fittings! You can get these fittings from any hydraulic parts store. [/QUOTE]
