    How to connect Pump to system?

    So it's the easiest question in the world, but since I have a lot of self doubt, I find myself deferring to others who have experience with this stuff!

    Here is the pump I have:



    It came with no connections or tubing. I want to use strictly PVC to connect it to my 3/4" pipe leading to my system.

    So the question is, if I walk into Home Depot, what is the name of the connections that I need to do this? The top of the pump is a 1/2" MPT outlet, and as I mentioned, my system is 3/4".

    So is it a female 1/2" to 3/4" adapter needed? What would the name be? I tried to look at Home Depot for something, but I didn't know what to look for. I guess the one female end has to be threaded and 1/2" in size in order to connect......but the opposite end needs to be able to fit onto a smooth 3/4" PVC.

    Help a brother out!
