Specifies 1/2 inch IP outlet. What does IP stand for. Iron pipe, international pipe? Can I buy an adapter to connect NPT pipe to?

I would think it stands for "Inlet pipe" and you can probably by an adapter.

IP stands for Iron Pipe. The valve I replaced was connected via a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer, which was threaded, but which I removed with some effort.

You need a supply adapter for each inlet/outlet you want to use, The inlets are at top, a hot and cold line, there is also a cold outlet at bottom too, if you don't need it you need to buy a cap for it. The 2 main inlets and 1 main outlet are all 1", but the supply adapter can convert this to 3/4" which most homes use.They are sold separately and cost about ten bucks each, or twenty dollars for the two top inlets and a cap for the bottom is currently about five dollars. Search for "MANABLOC supply adapter" I got mine from pexsupply.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I measured the interior diameter of the threads and it measured 1 1/8 inches. The adapter is, of course soldered on the water pipe.

For those still checking --It will use either although it is designed for 1" . You either buy the adapter, make your own adapter with some PVC and pipe insulation, use one 1" plate at the bottom on each post as a washer or put up with Olympic plates moving a bit.

The inlet for the quick disconnect (QD) on mine appears to be 1/4" NPT. I can't see it on mine without unscrewing the QD. Here's how you identify NPT sizes: measure the outside diameter of the thread. It will always be 1/4" larger than the NPT size. Example: a 1/4" NPT male pipe thread actually measures 1/2" diameter. For comparison, I can see that the gauge thread and hose thread are 1/8" NPT (3/8" OD). Hope this is helpful.

Do not use 1/2 inch pipes, you will get better results with the wider pipe. Do not use plastic/PVC piping, use copper.

I just went and looked at the piping on my pump after I read your question. I have had it installed for about a year, The pipe I used (and it fit) was 1 1/2" NPT PVC. I used a threaded PVC coupler sized at 1 1/2 and it screwed right into the discharge outlet of the pump. Then I cemented a length of 1 1/2 PVC to the 1 1/2 coupler and ran it to my sewer drain. The answer from KenDo More is incorrect for THIS Wayne pump. I believe he is thinking of a different coupler that would screw into the 1 1/2 port on the base of the pump and then make the discharge pipe size 1 1/4.

Sorry but I can't remember and I can't see it where it is installed. I did use several 1/2 npt fittings when I did my job!

I live and ordered from the U.S. The plug on the iron I received is a two-prong one that fits U.S. outlets.

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

This 40w UV sterilizer actually has a 1 1/2"(inch) male pipe thread inlet and outlet. It includes a universal step down adapter that goes all the way down to 3/4 inch that screws on the body of the unit. I've installed mine with direct 1 1/2 " fittings on the inlet side of a Sequence 3600 that is restricted to about 2000 GPH. So you can use almost any size hose you need and this thing is great. It cleared my pond in 4 days.

I believe the thread options are a half-inch and three-quarters inch. i used the slide-on option over a metal pipe with no threads and it worked perfectly. You can download the installation manual to see if the adapter will work for you. For 15 bucks there's little lost in trying.

&gt;&gt; JOHN W. This kit comes with three (3) adapters. Two of which are 1/2" outside Male Flare to male pipe. one of these two is 1/2" to 1/2' and the second of the two is 1/2" to 3/8" O... The third adapter is a 1/2" Male Flare to or "x" 3/8" Female Pipe ( #/8" O ) { Like a hex nut } I hope this helps...Johnny

Conduit, but I changed mine to 1/2" Iron pipe. If I had known it was made in China I would not of purchased it.

Even though it states 1 1/2" pipe it is 1" pipe. They just measured the opening ,but pipe is measured as ID not OD,so the wall thickness of two sides of the pipe would total 1/2" meaning the pipe size of the input and output is 1".
