MAG 18's

I lost my instructions for my MAG 18's and their web site has poor instructions on it...what I want to know is what is their recommended size pipe for these pumps. I seem to remember either 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" for the outlet side.

I know you can never oversize the inlet, but I can't remember the recomended outlet size right now they are going through 3/4" and I know that is really slowing the flow alot!!

Thanks for any help!

If you do not want to go with 1.5 you can go with 1.25. At 4' head the 1.5 will give you 1326gph while with 1.25 you get 1293gph. For a loss of only 33gph I would go with 1.25. I am running mine with 1.25 and have had no problems at all.
