Default DIY kalk reactor with maxijet1200

For those who have DIY kalk reactors with maxijets, what fittings are you using to attach the maxijets (input and output) to the outside of the reactor?

For the outlet, I use:

Plastic tube that comes with maxi jet that fits over the outlet glued 1 threaded portion of a 1/2" cutoff riser. Now you have a maxi jet that can accept 1/2" pvc fittings on the outlet.

Here's a link to the cutoff riser than I'm talking about:

For the inlet, I glue a pvc fitting on and use that.

End result:
