Hi! I was told that this part does NOT have threads for the PVC Pipe. Is this correct? If so, how does the PVC pip connect to the housing? Thanks!

The one I ordered (I think it is the one you ask about) has the pipe thread on the inside of the water inlet (top hole). Wrap your threaded pipe with teflon tape, then screw it in tight. Mine worked perfectly!

slight confusion on my part... the hole in the top is the water exit (not inlet).

The housing is indeed threaded . Very easy to install and is of excellent quality. I highly recommend this housing.

Yes. I have the same set up. It comes with a few adapters in case the pipe has a different threads.

I would think you could remove that fitting and add a female threaded/sweat fitting. The internals are mostly plastic, so I would keep the heat away from that. That fitting works well....I used it with 3/4" PVC.

Not sure about PVC pipe but like you said, should work fine.I just installed this last weekend and it works great. Installed in basement on water heater so in case it springs a leak, the main water supply will shut off.

Did you find the unit with a threaded waste port? The waste port should be described or at least a photo provided. Just had to RETURN a unit because of that. IF they had included an threaded piece to install instead of that drop tube requiring a second trap - which actually - I measured a trap will not fit into the space. I guess they figured WE would remake all the pipes under OUR sinks to accommodate THEIR disposals OR call a plumber. Remember 'create jobs'!!!

It appears that if you remove the end cap (don't know the the actual name of the piece), there are threads. As I recently had this faucet installed, I do not want to test the possibility. Maybe contacting Peerless would provide an exact answer. Hope this helps.

The threads are for a garden hose (sorry, don't know diameter but it's pretty close to 3/4" pipe with different threads). Mine's connected to a camper trailer water line, but worked fine on a regular water hose while I figured out the best location. There are pipe thread to water hose adapters available.

Several folks have said they made a bracket of PVC pipe to extend cover....can one of them explain just how they did that?Found some photos of a bracket on Buggiesgonewild.comHad to register to see photos. Look under Roof Extension - 2 Passenger to 4Helps but not there yet.

U may need an adapter. The tubing size vs. the PVC sizing is probably going to differ.

I am just a person that bought these replacement parts myself. This does not include the tube with the threaded connector. It only includes the bite valve that threads onto the connector.

Keep in mind I'm just a do-it-yourselfer homeowner, not a plumbing/sprinkler professional. For attaching to PVC, I used (1"?) threaded adapters (wrapped PVC threads with Teflon tape) with appropriate sized outlet. Tape and tighten threaded adapters, dry fit PVC pieces then clean/glue. In my case, I assembled to sprinkler system inlet PVC first then to the outlet plumbing to assure alignment between Febco adapter/outlet and sprinkler PVC line (that is, between the downstream portion of the Febco and existing PVC). If you expect sub-freezing temps, I've used heat tape/insulation around inlet/outlet valves and body. Febco has downloadable freezing precautions.

I replaced my housing about one year ago. The top that is threaded is actually the discharge. The part that slips in with the O-ring on the center of the housing is the suction.

No, not normal. Mine was fine. Probably needs to be unscrewed and re installed with some teflon plumbers tape around the threads. Good Luck.

It's threaded exactly the same. The housing is shorter, however, by about an inch (from memory. Rough guess.)

There definitely were threads on my ball valve. I simply purchased a street ell and drained it that way. Someone knowledgeable with plumbing fittings can configure it anyway you want. Bring ball valve to Home Depot and they can help you out.
