Hmm, I can't remember how I'm doing this (I'm away from my tank), but I think I just used spaflex PVC (.5") and slipped it over the barbed fitting that came with the eheim. Fits perfectly and has been running for 10 months now.

Shrimpchips is right. There is no such thing as 3/8" plumbing. 1/2" ID hose fits the 1/2" OD barbed fittings they come with. My 1250 and a lot of other pumps have been running just fine with no leaks using the irrigation fittings for years, they are identical pretty much.

*UPDATE*
Went to an irrigation supply store where I was able to get a 3/4" to 3/8" (MIPT x FIPT) PVC threaded reducer fitting. I screwed this over the existing nipple and then used another reducer fitting to get up to 1" and then simply plumbed into my existing return line. I could have done like some of you said and just slipped the clear vinyl tubing over the nipple but I wanted to hard plumb it in to my existing 1" line so an adapter fitting was necessary.
