Lowes had a pack of 10. Test fit it in the store.... why do i always feel weird bringing plumbing parts to lowes in my pockets... then I have to put them in my pocket so I don't pay for them..I always feel like someone is going to think I'm stealing them. <br> http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/fb.ashx?m=67092Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:02:07 GMT You just need a 1" coupling. <br> &nbsp; <br> <img src="http://tayloranderson.net/rocket_launcher/materials/two_inch_pvc_coupling.jpg" /> <br> http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/fb.ashx?m=67091Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:13:52 GMT It looks like the outside diameter of the strainer is exactly the same as the outside diameter of the pipe.&nbsp; Is that true?&nbsp; If so, then you would need 1" couplers (Schedule 40, just like the pipe). <br> http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/fb.ashx?m=67090Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:13:49 GMT You just need a 1" coupling. <br> http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/fb.ashx?m=67089Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:13:00 GMT Here is a picture. What size coupling would it be. 1" or the next size up. I guess i'll take a drive over to Lowes to see what matches. <br> &nbsp; <br> <a href="http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2571786480061560176kfCXEv" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://inlinethumb03.webshots.com/47106/2571786480061560176S500x500Q85.jpg" /></a> <br> http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/fb.ashx?m=67088Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:01:35 GMT I've never used those before. Are they the same diameter as your 1" pipes? If so, I'd say a coupling would work. <br> http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/fb.ashx?m=67087Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:51:01 GMT well that sounds odd. I wonder if someone shipped you the wrong item. <br> http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/fb.ashx?m=67086Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:51:00 GMT So my 1" strainers don't fit my 1" standpipe. Am I supposed ot use 1/ 1/4 coupling. I'm a bit lost. I tried test fitting the strainer with a 3/4" pipe inside it, but that wasn't a snug fit. I'm talking about these. <br> &nbsp; <br> <a href="http://www.aquacave.com/intake-strainers-slip-930.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.aquacave.com/i...trainers-slip-930.html</a> <br> http://www.mbisite.org/Forums/fb.ashx?m=67085Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:42:08 GMT
