How far in does the water inlet plug thread? Mine only threads halfway in.

Mine does the same. Poor quality threads, but it is enough to hold the water.

Mine is very difficult to tighten, but I used slip joint pliers and was able to tighten it about 2/3 of the way in which seems to be more than sufficient.

I needed to use a pipe wrench, but I stopped when the bung (plug) no longer interfered with the tongue.

mine only thread in half way as well but it seems to hold the water in just fine. I have not had any problems with it

It is like a pipe thread .... as it gets tighter it seals ... so it should not screw all the way down.

It is a pipe thread which means it is tapered. Tighten until tight. I think I just used my hand to torque it. If you use a wrench, do not over tighten as you may strip the threads. If it does leak, tighten a quarter turn or wrap the plug threads with teflon pipe tape. I did not have to use tape.

The first time I used it the cap screwed in about half way. But, there was only a few drips and i did not want to dammage the threads by over tighting. Now after severell drains and fill ups it screws down better.

Hello, I would have to see a pic of your wall inlet opened and where the hose goes into the wand? Thats the only way to tell.

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

The inlet and outlet are 1/2" NPT male, US pipe thread. You would need an adapter to connect a hose coupling.

Mine's still in the box, so I measured it. Not 3 in - About halfway between 2.5 and 2.75 in of threaded section.

The threaded flange outside diameter is just shy of 2 3/8 ~ 2 11/32. The outside diameter of the inlet and retaining nut is ~ 3 3/8. The input side is threaded; the 1 1/2 output side can be either slip or threaded. The long threaded flange generally goes on the outside of the tank, but it could depend on usage. They say the flange should be a tight fit.

I have the intex 12'x24' rectangular ultraframe and if your inlet is like mine there should be threads on the strainer. There will be an outside lip, male threads (the adapter screws on here) and then the intake strainer in the middle. The strainer isn't meant to come off.

I didn't have any issues with improper threads on any of the items...I think I got my unit about a year ago...Hope this information helps. Jerry

Unfortunately it does sound like it is defective. The one I got has threads to screw onto any standard hose. I would request an RMA on yours.

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.

Lube the threads and work it a little. Mine was the same and it tightened right up. Works fine now.

As close as I can get measuring the installed drain the threads appear to be about an inch long on my drain, though the photo appears to show them much longer. My drain has been installed a long time, so maybe the design has changed. Maybe you can call or look at manufacturers website.

The threads are for a garden hose (sorry, don't know diameter but it's pretty close to 3/4" pipe with different threads). Mine's connected to a camper trailer water line, but worked fine on a regular water hose while I figured out the best location. There are pipe thread to water hose adapters available.

This is a very important issue. Yes, it's a 3/4" pipe thread at the inlet, but inside, the outlet opening is restricted down to about 9/32". So, you lose about 2/3 of your flow. I was redoing my long drip irrigation lines where I needed to maximize the flow. I returned mine and bought a bunch (14) at a big box store (blue/gray colors), which had much less restriction. In my opinion, it's more a volume issue and not so much a pressure issue, as the higher restriction increases the pressure, but lowers the volume. Now I get the flow I need. These are, however, nice little, well-made valves and I'd use them on an application where I didn't need that much volume. This is a very important issue.

Not sure...unit is buried beneath my fountain. I seem to remember a 3/4" (garden hose thread) discharge and I added an 1 1/4" expander for the riser to the top of my fountain. Hope this helps...

The easiest answer is it goes to ati's free float tubes. It's threads are not designed to fit others. ATI has a great customer service if you need to call them.

No, not normal. Mine was fine. Probably needs to be unscrewed and re installed with some teflon plumbers tape around the threads. Good Luck.
