for the people who purchased the Medo linears from me and had a hard time finding a 3/8" mnpt fitting.
Just remove the plate from the pump, bore out a larger size hole and Tap 1/2" or larger size threads, problem solved!
if you don't have a drill press and tap&die set, just bring the plate to any machine shop, I'm sure they could do it in 5 minutes for a nominal fee.
thanks Jeff!
NP jason. It takes 5 min and 1/2" is the perfect size.

Found mine (3/8 to 1/2 fitting) in "gas line" area at Lowes.
That gives ya the same 1/2 that Jeff has.

Nah....Go to home depot and you can find the correct size in the plumbing section or the lawn section. It will cost about 5.00 and 3 different parts but it can be done.
