What is the minimum size pvc pipe which can be used with these?

I'd go with at least 1" as well. I had a few installed in some 3/4" and they didn't seem hold up as well as the larger pipe. And they do work great, I've used these for three seasons now and just ordered a 25 pk to set up a larger system this spring for meat birds and replace some of the ones for my layers.

I wouldn't go below 3/4", it has to be wide enough that the nipple will create a water seal. Unless you plan on sealing each of them with a water sealing glue.

After using these, I don't think I'd go any smaller than about 1" inside diameter. They work great, by the way.

i used 2 gal buckets and am new to this so really can't help you but would like the answer as well. i would love to try to PVC pipe....that looks way better.

I used 3" but 1 1/2" would work fine. My thought was the bigger the diameter the more water it held. More water means less fill ups and plenty of water for hot days.

I measured the outside pipe diameter at 2.45" just behind the connector ring before the valve body. All my piping is 2" PVC for my system with about a 2.45" outside diameter for all the pipes to from the filter and valve.

Fits minimum 4" lead pipe. Made for cast iron but lead pipe I used it on was a heavy gage piece of lead sewer pipe. Oatey PVC & neoprene sleeve tightened up all the way and seated just fine.

U would need some adapters from the intex fittings (hoses) to pvc, check out YouTube for more details on this

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

For 1" PVC pipe, Light Grip, Snap Clamps Item#13-EZ ordered from amazon will fit 200 psi - ips poly pipe. Works perfect.

You can use a pipe of any length. These are 3/4" in pipe clamps, so you just buy 3/4 threaded pipe from whatever box store or supply house. I think I bought 6' lengths, and made some 6' clamps and cut them in half and made 2 - 3' clamps out of one 6' section. (These are GREAT clamps - I've used a lot of different ones and I usually smile when I use these. They are very smooth - i.e. don't stick when you try to use them. And they tighten up really tight (with the metal pipes as someone mentioned earlier.)

I used 1/2" Female pipe by 3/4" pex. The valve is 1/2" but I wanted to upsize the pex tubing for increased flow.

Yes you can. It works on different sizes of PVC. Take it to the hardware store and test some sizes out first before getting the pipes to see what you like better.

Just use ones available at Lowes or Home Depot, you need to get all the sizes for the job you are working on etc. 3/8" - 1/2" or 3/4". You do not need to ream th pex pipe.

There are a number of variables that would determine the size of pipe needed. I am including a link to their user and installation manual to assist you. http://www.rinnai.us/documentation/downloads/U306-066103.pdf

Go to your local home center and get the length of PVC PIPE you need and add the hose fittings.

Not sure about PVC pipe but like you said, should work fine.I just installed this last weekend and it works great. Installed in basement on water heater so in case it springs a leak, the main water supply will shut off.

Each piece of PVC is approximately 18-20 inches long. And the bonding cement works very well. We're in our second season of using the installed system with no problems at all. Make sure you get good coverage on each pipe before bonding.
