I got two different answers to pipe size, 1 1/2" and 2". Does this work well with 1 1/2" pipe? Thanks!

We bought ours and it had a 1 1/2 pipe size never had any problem. I don't know where you are getting the answer on a 2" size. This is the second pump in 7 years from Hayward but the first Super II. Love this one. Would not buy anything else. Sorry it took me so long to answer. Great Product. Advise anyone to buy Hayward. Did a lot of research before I bought the first one. Hope this helps.

I installed this filter one year ago. I have a 1-1/2 horse power pump. With 1-1/2 inch piping It works great. I havenot had any pproblems.

You can install it with a reducer but it will probably overwork the motor since its designed for a 2" inlet and outlet. This pump has a lot of suction power it creates, so keep that in mind if you are going to purchase it and use a reducer. I suggest you look for one that matches your piping for your pool.

Yes, they both have internal 1/2 inch pipe threads. In other words they will both accept a 1/2 nipple.

There are a number of variables that would determine the size of pipe needed. I am including a link to their user and installation manual to assist you. http://www.rinnai.us/documentation/downloads/U306-066103.pdf

2" will be tough. My faucet has a big "knob" (1 3/8")at the end that really helps this stay on, but my faucet neck is about 1 1/4. The hole in the adapter is only about 1.25" in dia and the rubber is pretty stiff. We have noticed that when you run real hot water through the sprayer, the rubber gets a lot softer. you might be able to do it if you put the adapter in real hot water before you put it on. We put a towel over the faucet to keep any water from squirting out and it works great

2 inch, but may be adapted to 1 1/2 inch. Probably a waste of energy to downsize the plumbing.

Yes. I used it for my humidifier in my basement. Not sure what the 1/2" measurement is, it seemed to be like a regular hose.

It fits the standard US faucet, don't know if that is 1/2 inch or not. One thing, my lock recently broke. It became very tough to turn the key & then now it doesn't lock at all. I have it still on the faucet as a visual deterent, but it is absolutely broken. Only been pulled off the faucet maybe 5 times since new.

Yes I had a 1/2" copper pipe slip join situation and it worked. There is a space between the threads on the end of the plastic pipe Delta supplys that I had to cut off about 3/4:" with a hack saw. See item (6) in the instructions. Then everything worked OK.

If the pipe threads coming out of the wall are 1/2" male, it should work fine.

1 1/2" is the size I used but I had to use a adapter to reduce it to a 1 1/4" to hook into my old black plastic pipe that goes through the wall and leads outside.

My house has 1/2 inch lines and it works great. I've had mine for a couple of years but I think it came with an adapter to go from 1/2 inch to 3/4.

To be sure go buy a one inch male pipe thread coupling. It has the male on both ends looks tapered (large in middle gets smaller on the tips) hold it up to the one going into yours. 3/4 and 1" are pretty different look at both at the store maybe even get both you can return them. You will know right away.

For 1.5 inch pvc pipe go inside valve, same valve pvc pipe go over and that's what makes 1.5 to 2 inch valve. So it would work

1/2" should work fine. The length will depend on how far you need to run from the unit to your drain.

It obviously depends on the distance you're running the pipe; for this unit, 1/2 inch black pipe will work well at up to 15 feet

It will work with either 2 inch or 2 1/2 inch. For 2 inch, you slide the 2" pipe into the opening. For 2 1/2 inch, you slide an ordinary slip-slip 2 1/2 inch coupler over the outside of the stub and then slide a 2 1/2 inch pipe into the other end of the coupler. Make sure you use a combination cement listed as suitable for both PVC and CPVC or you will not achieve a proper seal.

No, it will not work unless your copper pipe is 1/2" ID. 1/2" OD is a bit odd for water pipe, but it's not the first time I've heard of this. Two possible reasons. The original installer plain got the wrong pipe, or the correct pipe wasn't available so he used this. If it was a homeowner, he may not have known that there is a difference between OD and ID, just saw the 1/2" label on it, and bought it, not realizing it was the wrong size. There are also differences with K, L and M pipe when it comes to thickness, so your ID on that 1/2 OD pipe may be difficult to determine unless you have a tool to measure it.
