Is that too big or small? Does it fit over the output? You can buy plastic clamps or glue it if you don't mind it there forever. What are you trying to do?

OK here is what I did The top one is 1/4 " line and I just got an adapter to screw into the body of the piece. And the bottom one is like 1/2 I think and that just pushes over the end of the MJ and locks in there just like the 1/4 line does.

Make sence???

Do you think a max-jet 1200 can push up that high tho?
