i have 3/4 " copper. the port size on the rheem unit is 1/ 2". will this compromise the water pressure much?

No but you need a bit of knowledge as far as getting the right shower head ,which is the most important issue here . My dishwasher runs just fine ! . The hot pressure is a bit lower then the cold .But like I said the right GPM shower head and adjusting the temp ,so you are not set at too low of a setting that the Rheem shuts off during use .It just took some fine tuning .The pressure can also be affected by hard water . Use a recommended filter ,or once a year it is simple enough to remove the unit and flush out the core in vinegar or a Lime-Away type product .And you won't lose that extra bit of pressure that the water filter can cause .Mine is well into its second year of use with no problems at all ,once I tuned it to my needs :)

The outlet valve is a standard garden hose bib. So with the proper adapter the connection is no problem. As to connecting 1/4" drip tubing; the hydraulics will dictate how well it works. The volume and height of your rain container as well the length of the run and type of drip system will tell you lots. Aside from that, you will need to filter the rain water for the drip system.

Yes I had a 1/2" copper pipe slip join situation and it worked. There is a space between the threads on the end of the plastic pipe Delta supplys that I had to cut off about 3/4:" with a hack saw. See item (6) in the instructions. Then everything worked OK.

Mine arrived today (1/5/16). Both ports on mine are 1-7/8" O.D. at opening and enlarge to about 2-1/8". My 2-1/4" Shop-Vac hose fits snugly over port but I will need to find the correct adapter to attach my 2-1/2" draw hose. The 2-1/2 in to 2-1/4 in Conversion Portby Rockler (sold here on Amazon) will not fit without modifications.

any pressure sw will work. but it is better if the fittings or connections are in the same location. this will make the change over simple & not require extra work or fittings.

Out of the tank, there is a copper T (3-way) coupler. It is designed for a 1/4" tubing.Converters are available at hardware store to do the conversion from 1/4" to 3/8" tubing.

No, if you use it with a 1/4" drip line, you will need to include a separate 25 psi pressure reducer

I am not sure bout this fitting a Rheem. Mine was for a Reliance water heater, but if it is not Electric, I think for the most part they are standard. I would recommend you check on Youtube

I had no need to do that. But, u might want to consider an adapter size to fit? Half an inch diameter seems to me would be sufficient with the water pressure I have. Hope this helps.

My plumber had to increase copper pipe to 3/4. This big of a unit needs 3/4

Hi... Amazon sent me your question as a consumer. I got this connector and it works fine with a standard bathroom sink - the threads are about 1/2 inch deep. The real issues is that the threads strip way too easily - I'd invest in the copper fitting instead... A Phililps

I don't believe it will matter other than it will reduce the flow somewhat. The only thing you will need to do is attach a fitting on the output of the pump to accommodate a 1 inch tube. If you are using the tetra filter you will need to to the same thing there as well.

I'm not sure why people are saying 2", because the Hayward website says this model is 1.5" inside thread. However, that fitting would reduce the waterflow even if you're already using 1.5, so I'm trying to figure this out myself.

Both inlet and outlet are 1". Use a reducing coupler for the in, thats what I did. No setting for the pressure, there is only a pressure switch for on and of 30/50 psi.

hey Pitta the valve is 1/2 npt thats national pipe thread.So I use 1/2 ID tube to drain my wort, make sure it will handle hot wort. good luck.

probably your water plumbing is 1/2", if you geat 3/4" you will have pressure

Knowing how the base pump suctions with the 3/4 line that I have connected to the pump I would not go from 1/2 from 3/4 as I believe this will significantly decrease the suction power of the pump. I myself was thinking to go from 3/4 to 1" but after long thought decided against it as I doubted it will increase suction and might actually decrease it.
