what size pipe do they screw into? Or do they screw into nothing appropriate and thus I need thread tape?

You can use these nipple in anything plastic. Drill a 5/16" hole into the plastic of your choice. I used them in a plastic jug and had to apply thread tape and a little silicone caulking around the threads to keep them from leaking. I also have them in the botom of a 5 gallon plastic bucket and thread tape only kept this from leaking. I do have two nipples that I did not need to use anything on the threads to keep them from leaking so it is really just trial and error.

They can screw into anything plastic drilled with a 5/16" bit. I drilled the holes in the bottom of a five gallon bucket and screwed in the nipples with teflon tape for a good seal and they have been great.

I screwed them directly into a plastic bucket. Didn't use pipe tape, if it leaks might use a drop of clear sealant (some types are rated for repair of dishes & china). They do get dirty in AZ from calcium buildup & dirt so after 6-9 mos, I pull them out and replace them.

you can use almost any size plastic pipe, because, you just drill a hole into the pipe and screw in the nipple.

I received a response from the manufacturer: "It is a 1/4" x 20 pitch thread. Try a set screw. They hold much better over time."

Just screw direct bolt on .. Will have brass piece inside but may have to remove first to screw on pipe

They are 1 inch. I went to a large plumbing supply house and they had trouble getting the 1 inch down to accept 3/4 cpvc pipe. Take pump with you so they understand what you are doing.

I don't know but the best thing to do is remove your existing plug and have a machinist or other SKILLED person who is knowledgeable about thread pitch and diameters both english and metric system, and get them to determine the proper size to buy. If the mating part is aluminum or even steel and you have to use a lot of force to install it, you may wind up with a leak.

The one I ordered (I think it is the one you ask about) has the pipe thread on the inside of the water inlet (top hole). Wrap your threaded pipe with teflon tape, then screw it in tight. Mine worked perfectly!

pipe thread and hose thread are different, you will need an adapter, which any hardware store will have

You need 1/2" pipe thread fittings. Either couplers and male barbs or female hose barbs match barb size to your tubing

They are standard male 1" pipe thread fittings. Just use a little Teflon tape on them for the seal.

yep. they fit and glue the same as pvc. Clean it well with primer and use a good amount of glue. This pipe is flexible so be careful not to move the joint until the glue sets....

Per the item description they are 8/32 universal threads.I use them with a Remington pull through wire but they fit a standard rod also.

My plumber used threaded angled fitting, approximately 7 inches in length that then attatched to the intake hoses. Go to a plumber supply store not big box or ace.

These fittings have a 3/4 inch slip fitting that a short piece of PVC pipe can be glued into. You can then use another fitting that is slip on one side and threaded on the other and use a 3/4 screw cap fitting.

The individual sections screw together. I do not believe that one needs the pieces of tape, however it is just a precaution. Had the sections come undone and they were in your vent pipe, you would have to dis-assemble the entire system to get them out.I had to use a pliers to un-screw the sections anyway as they were so tightly attached when I was done...
