I just need to know if they will fit.
Thanks.

Even better, Scottydont518, save the male connectors from your broken Kaplan pumps, and use them with this: Lap pump = harbor freight tools pump. You will know that the connectors will fit, because they always did before!
The Harbor Freight pump does not come with a male connector, but if you’ve got the old ones to re-use, that’s not a factor. If you DON’T have the old connectors, you can get new ones from McMaster part no. 5012K251.
