1.5" o-ring to 1/2" pipe T fitting
Description
Decided to add a solar heating loop to our pool. We're in TX so there's plenty of solar available! Figuring out how to get from the 1.5" o-ring sealed Intex hose fittings to something more standard was troublesome so I came up with this fitting. When printed in ABS it will acetone-glue to 1/2" PVC pipe just fine. I may rework it soon to add a variable restriction downstream of the small outlet as this design doesn't provide enough pressure to properly prime my 50' loop of 1/2" irrigation tubing (currently just hung on the fence, no fancy box.) For the moment, blocking the main pool outlet with a hand gives the needed boost and water flows just fine after that. Added two fittings to adapt a 1-1/4 inch PVC ball valve, or any fitting, to the 1-1/2" OD Intex o-ring fittings.
