I have a sump that i purchased.. which has a 2" hole in it....
i was wondering how do i get that to go to a 3/4" inlet so i can run my mag 9.5 return pump externally...
i have found nothing in home depot that fits in the 2" hole so that i can make my diy bulkhead... any help is appreciated... thanks

I would do what bad coffee suggests but then run 1" pipe on the mag outlet. The mag's run better with larger plumbing. It even says so in the instructions. i would just use an adapter to up the diameter closest to the pump. You'll see much more flow from it.

Try different size pipes with this calculator and you can see the difference.
