Pump Monster

I bought a portable pump at the local HD last fall to pump water up into the stock tank and run the pressure washer and make concrete.   It came with 1" threaded fittings and an adapter for garden hose.   Since I need to pump about 200 feet and 50 feet vertically, garden hose is pretty feeble.  So, I bought some 1" flexible pipe... but turns out the pump is Italian and has British Standard Pipe threads which are bloody useless in the States.   So I had to use the garden hose adapter and a pile of fittings:

• 1" BSP to garden hose
• garden hose to 3/4 NPT 
• 3/4 NPT to 3/4 pipe
• 3/4 pipe to 1" reducer bushing
• 1" bushing to 1" coupling 
• coupling to black pipe 

Looks ridiculous, but .... this took me awhile to figure out so it looks good to me. 

Now all I need is expansion tank, pressure switch and a pumphouse.
