is the female pipe end the water inlet port or can any port be used as the water inlet port?

The female port is called the common port and is labelled with a "C". If your intended use is to divert from one port to either of the other two, the intended application, then you must use the female as the inlet. However, the valve could be used in a reverse application where both male ports are used as inlets, and the female becomes the outlet. For example one male could be connected to a cold water supply, and the other male could be connected to a hot water supply. Handle in one position sends cold to the female port, while in the other position it sends hot. It would not be a good mixer valve since one male is nearly closed before the other starts to open. The common port is never closed. Each of the male ports are alternately closed depending on handle position.

It could possibly work with the purchase of a female/female hose connection fitting. Pentair sells it for around $5. I ended up returning it as I got a new system all together.

this has a male end so i got a female conector as most hoses have male ends

Air Inlet/Outlet: 1/2-inch NPT (that is stated under the details)., they are female, does not matter how far, mine works well. I have learned a lot, about compressed air, and spent a lot of time researching it. The single best thing you can do it to installe a after cooler on your compressor. I did just that and never have a water in my lines,

No adapter on the filtered water stream. On the faucet stream you could put a female to female and add something else.

Have no idea, I sent mine back because I could not find a fitting to connect the nozzle into. I sent the thing back! It has a male end, the threads are some sort of weird size. I tried many places to find a female end to screw onto it. No luck.

That inlet adapter shown at the top is detachable. Once you remove that piece, you can screw in a garden hose. And, that thing on the top is not an inlet, that's where the water is pumped out.

The inlet is just a plain old hose connection. Be sure it has the gasket in the female twist on end of your hose.

the connections at the filter are 3/4" female iron pipe. However it is very easy to switch between male and femle connections so connection type should not be a deciding factor for you.

Update not standard pipe thread on the male side of the adapter. This means a new light assembly or ditch the light and put in a regular inlet

1 1/4 inch inlet and 1 inch outlet. Both fittings are female NPT. The pump works great!

the bottom of the unit goes inside of your pipe so that end will work but the top pipe goes on the outside and with your pipe being double walled it won't fit so no this unit won't work for you.

No, You will need a fitting that is male pipe on one end and female hose thread on the other end. I would recommend a fitting with out a swivel.

Why yes, it can run straight through. Also, any of the ports can be used for an inlet.

No. It is the two ends for a single pipe clamp. You supply the pipe which needs to be threaded on one end only.

Yes,Mine is plumbed as pictired. I have the inlet from the right,diverted to the bottom port (90 degrees).You can remove the valve assembly (8 phillips head screws) and position it so the inlet can be on the bottom or the sides.

You can't cap the intake port, but you could simply not hook up a hose to it. That would defeat the benefit of having a dual tube unit, because it would have to suck in warm air from elsewhere.
