What kind of plumbing transistion would I use to go from a standard (hard white) PVC tube to the flexible black pvc tubing used in ponds?

Daniel.
So are you saying glue a threaded male fitting to the black flexible tubing? Then tape and fasten that to the a threaded female fitting? Then cement (PVC) that whole thing to the hard white PVC tubing?

Most black flex piping I have seen is connected with "hose barb" fittings. I have not seen the transition fittings for this but check where they sell lawn sprinkler fittings. I am guessing that you will need a glued to threaded fitting from the white PVC and then the barb fitting screwed into that.

Greetings...
Not too hard a problem..
Suggest you glue on a male threaded end to the PVC, then go to plumbing store and get the threaded parts that will reduce down to your tubing size.... not all stores have a good supply so you may have to put a couple together to get down to your size...
Bring in a sample of both ends if you can.
Good luck
