Is there another piece that goes between the adapter and the 1/2 in. hose? The barbed fitting coming out of the adapter is way too large to insert into the 1/2 in. hose and is larger than the 1/2 in. T fittings that I ordered?

The way i made it fit is I got a heat gun (you can use a blow dryer) and heat the hose end up till it got very flexible. Don't burn it and force it in with force and twisting motion. This must be done before you connect it to the spigot.

the adapter allows use of either 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" hoses,the lower part of the adapter where you first attach your hose to is 1 1/4",if you push your hose all the way up to the bottom of the adapter,then you can use a 1 1/2" hose.the retaining nut goes inside the skimmer.

On the hose I received, the answer is no. The I.D. of the connection fitting is stepped. Using fractional drill bits as gauges, the portion under the thread is approximately 11/32", while the portion under the hose is approximately 17/64".

Mine fit well, however the threads on the tap are a little tight. I have to use a wrench to tighten it from start to finish. so it's not too far fetched to think the threads going to your hose could be out of tolerance as well. I think the QC could be a little better on these things.

I do not know, but I think I have found a answer to the problem I was having, use barbed 5/8 connectors instead or normal water connectors. the 5/8 connectors kept breaking the hose as if being to big, I will be using very hot water make the hose slip on to the barbed connections

It had 3/8 pipe thread inserts on both sides. I'm sure an -AN fitting would fit. Or there is an adapter for it.

This is for the 1.5 inch hose. however if you get/have the 2 inch diameter hose then amazon sells an adapter to fit on the end of the hose to down size it. This is what I ended up doing.

Jim I don't really know if Intex or the company I got my hose from has an adapter that will go from 1.5" to 2/5" but maybe you can get something in the plumbing section of Lowe's or Home Depot. The hose I got from the company leaked and they were good enough to get me one from Intex that was much better. Hope this helps a little

I havent actually took the fitting out but im sure the one on the handle is a standard 1/4" npt fitting so im sure a standard 1/4" hose will work on it. The quick couplings on the hose it comes with are not standard tho.

The out is 1/2 i.d. tube fitting on it but can be removed to have a 1in npt. You can get a bushing to do this at lowes to bring it to a 1/4 npt thats what I did.

Yes the quick connect fitting is what comes with the unit. The 2 pieces (in mine) came in a separate little "accessories" bag in the box. The inlet is on the side where the gun is stored and the clear male adapter screws on to the inlet while the blue female adapter screws onto the hose. If you're asking if you can use a regular garden hose instead of a "high-pressure" hose, then yes. That's all I use. lol

I had to use the 1 1/4" adapter that had the longer end on it for my shop vac the other to did not fit.

Mine is a 1 1/2 inch pipe, but I'm sure you can use a reducer/adapter to fit.

My wall inlet measures just over 1 1/2" and the hose is just under 1 1/2" so it's a bit loose for me but ok. Might be worth a try.

I took my hose to home depot and they gave me the adapter I needed. I hope this helps you.Sandy

Hose diameter and connector are not related. My hose is 1/4" too. If you have a universal quick connect, it will work.

Redondo Jon is exactly correct, the barbed fittings are in the hose and then crimped metal is on the outside to hold them in place, it comes shipped this way. This means that you need NPT (National Pipe Thread) 1/4 inch quick connect fittings for most applications, these just screw onto the fittings on the hose already.
