Convert Your Chugger or March Homebrew Pump to Tri-Clamp Fittings

Upgrading your Chugger or March Pump to Tri-Clamp style disconnects is as easy as getting the right fittings.

Generally speaking, you’re going to be looking for a tri-clamp to FPT/Female NPT threading. Many pumps have 1/2″ threads and many homebrewers standardize on 1.5″ TC.
