Default Oil line fittings question.. NPT, UNI, JIC????

Hi,

I'm trying to replace a sump pump (weldon 9200a) that came with the APS ST kit. This sump pump uses an adaptor (shown in the picture) with fitting size 9/16" UNI X 3/4" JIC. I'm going to buy either mocal pump or a pump from turbowerx.com.

The problem is that both of these pumps use 3/8" NPT fittings, which is different from the weldon 9200a adaptor fitting sizes..

I'm no experienced mechanic, so I do not know what these fitting standards are all about.. all I want to know is if I can find an daptor with 3/8" NPT fitting on one end and 3/4" JIC or 9/16" UNI (I don't know which one goes to the oil hose) on the other.. Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks~

So, I'm searching around and I see that there are JIC to NPT adaptors I can buy.. but some of the websites use -6, -8 values for JIC.. I'm confused.. what's the 9/16" UNI then??

Point is, The Male (hose) end of that fitting pictured is standardized and will come in any (within reason) size on the pump side. All u need to do is hit the Yellow Pages for a Hydraulic Supply that sells Aeroquip hoses or whatever and they will have the adapter on the shelf.

Less maybe, Far Far East is Bangledesh in a remote village

I'm in South Korea. so, all I gotta do is to find 3/4" NIC to 3/8" NPT adaptor, correct? What does 9/16" UNI mean?
