I'm about to take delivery of a March 809 pump. I was planning on fitting a s/s ball valve on the output and s/s barb on the input and connect by jamming the 1/2 tubing onto the barbs and screwing down a hose clamp.
In thinking about it I was wondering if there was a better way to go about this and I realized that I needed some advice.
Are quick disconnects worthwhile? Metal or plastic and what kinds?
Also - what's the best kind of tubing/hose for high temp fluid? Silicone? Reinforced vinyl?
And generally - I'm not real pump savvy so any advice on getting the most love from my pump is appreciated and needed.
Thanks.
