Ballast connectors

[wviveen]

Hello, i am looking to get a conversion/connector to use my Eight.3 plug 'n play pump with my flight high brick. I just don't have the bags close to me right and don't want to order the wrong part or have to buy another pump.

This is the fatsack:

And this is the pump:


Anybody know what connection is should purchase ? Thanks a lot already everybody.

i would like to think its this one ?

I think what you need is the flow-rite MA-098 1-1/8 QL x 3/4 MPT. This would thread into the sac. I do not know of a female QL cap, so you would have to remove the fitting from the sac and thread the cap back in after filling.

Would you happen to have a link for that please ? Sorry, but I cant find the exact piece using my google skills.

Fly high bags and flow rite use different threads(look up npt vs nps). It may thread in part way but might leak. I would suggest using the fly high quick connect fitting that is already on the bag. This one will fit the bag, but you will need to clamp it in the pump hose.

If you need to fill ronix bags as well then maybe a seperate hose that attaches at the pump with the fly high fitting??Things get a little complicated when piecing different brands together.

If that pump is not going to be filling any other brand sacs, then it may be possible to convert from the ronix to fly high fittings. However, my interoperation was this posted pump was filling other sacs. So in this case, it would be easier to leave the existing fittings intact and just use the MPT x QL only to fill/drain, then remove it and use the fly High W731 plug. In this case, its a moot point that the flow rite is pipe thread not straight.

Yeah i use the pump to fill my big big ronix bag that i have in the walkway, but need to use the same pump to fill the brick that i use to move around depending on people. If it splils a little that's okay. I ordered it and will let everybody know how it works ! Thanks again all !

I agree with MLA, it shouldnt be a problem. I went searching for the same thing a while ago and was told by wakemakers and a local distributor that it wouldnt work so i didnt try. Im currently using 2 separate pumps for my bags. Please do let us know how it works out and maybe i can get rid of my second pump! Thanks

It will look like this. Wont thread super tight, may even be better to put an oring at the base of the threads.
