Many people have questions on what size pool pipe they have. You would think that 1-1/2″ pipe or 2″ pipe would measure 1-1/2″ or 2″ but that would be too easy. I thought the easiest tool to help determine your pool pipe size would be a few pictures along with dimensions. I hope this helps!
I’m adding onto our house and need to re-route part of my inground pool pipes.
1. I’ve dug the new trench
2. I’m going to (block pool jets and drains) dig down to pipes, tap into each pipe with a 45 angle, then run new pipes into new trench
Question:
Of the 11 total pipes, all are 2″ except for the spa suction which is 2 1/2″. Given I’ve got to run about 60 feet, I wanted to step that 2 1/2″ down to a 2″ because the larger pipe is hard to find and twice as expensive…
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated
I have a 1.5 HP mighty mammoth pump on my aboveground pool, HAP1100 I broke the plastic water shutoff valve and part of it is in the inlet port which is for a 1 1/2 in valve. If I try to take it out I will damage the internal threads of the pump hsg.. It also is threaded on outside and is 2 1/2 inch diameter external threads. I would like to get an adapter to thread on and step down to a standard 1 1/2 shutoff valve what is the type thread I would get for the pump side of adapter?
Thankyou
I have a 2″ jandy valve but I have a 90 degree attached but I do not know what size of a converter to fit over the 2″ 90 so I can add another 2″ pipe to it.
I have no space between so the only way would be to attach a fitting over the already attached pipping. Is this a 3″ fitting that would fit over the 90 degree?
Hi, I have a Coates 5.5kw heater but I’m finding it increasingly difficult to find the correct Union to connect the plumbing to, and ideas on what to purchase, I’m in the UK.
Thanks
size of the main drain
So I want to install a Gorilla Backwash hose that everyone says will not stretch and the max diameter (assume they mean outside) is 2″. My Jandy Mulitiport valve has a 2″ Fitting that a 2″ pipe slides into. If the 2″ pipe has an outside diameter of 2.3″, it won’t fit over it. It appears that it would fit over a 1.5 inch pipe that has an OD of 1.9″. What would an adapter be called that I would put the Gorilla Hose over the 1.5″ Pipe and then connect the 1.5″ pipe to the existing 2″ fitting? I want to be able to quickly connect it, drain my pool and disconnect it to roll it up and store it.
Thank You!
Hi Stuart,
Normally backwash hose manufacturers label there hose by the size pipe it will work for. So if you have 2″ plumbing then you would use 2″ backwash hose and the 2″ backwash hose will work on your 2″ plumbing. But after reading the reviews on Amazon about the Gorilla backwash hose it does appear it has an issue where it does not fit for 2″. I would suggest this 2″ Backwash Hose http://www.inyopools.com/ProductListing/search_backwash_hose.aspx which will work for your application.
Thank You. I have never had any luck with the previous blue hoses I have purchases which is why I was looking at the Gorilla hose that is supposed to be 5 times stronger. This one looks like it is made stronger. Any idea how it would compare to the Gorilla? It’s actually more expensive so I would hope it would be as good.
