What size union nipples are needed to adapt to existing plumbing?

The in and out pipe size for the pump is 1.1/2" FPT. I would use a union the same pipe size as the inlet pipe to the pump and a 1.1/2" union on the discharge side.

11/32 is the size of the waterer nipple end that goes into the pvc piping. You do not need to thread it first, in fact it fits better if you persuade it a bit to bite into the pipe. If you like you can use teflon tape around the nipple then thread it in.

I would use 3/8". You will need to purchase a barbed tube fitting 3/8" tube x 1/2 npt

I have a set of Fulcrum 5's bought in 2014. I measured with a caliper the nipples are 4mm. Maybe just over. Like 4.05 or 4.10 I'm looking for a spoke wrench too. So if you find one, please reply to this. I'll keep looking and i'll do the same.

I am using my existing 3/4 in pipe with a flange attached to it. Good luck.

I connected the spout of my installation with a 1/2 inch pipe nipple. But, as I remember, the spout has a 3/4 inch fnpt base with a 1/2 x 3/4 inch nylon bushing provided with the kit. I used the bushing to connect my 1/2 inch nipple.

Like everyone else is saying you need a longer threaded nipple. I also added a couple of stainless steel washers to give me room to open and close the valve. I also have a Home Depot 10 gallon cooler.

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.

They fit the original set. the top of the tube is larger so they fit larger nipples better but the tube is smaller at the bottom to fit into the original body

If I'm not mistaken the nipple requires 1/4" ID tubing. When measuring the diameter of the barb, it is just over 1/4" wide.

Tara, larger flanges, size 30, are are available for $10 each. I don't use pumping pals though so I can't answer that question.

the best way to see what size you need since those sizes are so close is too measure the nipple with a caliper harbor freight has them for like 10 bucks and they are very usefull for other projects

You can connect any series to the hand shower. It takes a normal 1/2 " nipple .

It's sized for a light fixture nipple. That is I believe 1/4", but not pipe threads

It comes with 5/16 fittings. You could get other size nipples to fit it. I've got it as an auxiliary pump on my 1937 Buick. Works good.

I agree with Allan J.. These are standard plumbing sizes and can be replaced.

Hi - our bottles have a substantially wider neck (designed for easy cleaning) and as such, our nipples won't fit into other brands. Thanks!
