I have a Honda 6.5HP trash pump with 1.5" NPT male inlet and outlet. I was given 20ft of hard suction hose that has a 2" NPT female coupling. Would there be a problem using this hose for suction from my pond with a 2" NPT to 1.5" NPT reducer at the pump inlet, or will I have suction or priming issues. The outlet hose is 1.25" ID.
 
I think it will be fine unless your trying to vertically lift the water close to the pumps limit... since the rated lift is based on 1.5" suction

Thanks. I think I'll keep the free suction hose and buy an adapter.
