9000l/h Flow Sensor Fittings?

[Sticks And Stones]

I'm considering picking up a couple 9000 l/h flow sensors and saw the inner diameter was approximately 1", but the available imperial fittings are for 3/4" pipe. I want to use these for two return pumps and 1" pvc, but believe these fittings would be too restrictive. Do I have any other options for larger fittings? If not, is there a way to make the Neptune 2" flow sensor work with the Profilux?

I struggled to find the correct size connectors.
If I'm not mistaken the double u ion ball valve threads are same size aka.. the valve bit comes out and the sensor goes in.

Flow - yes it will be restrictive

GHL USA now sells imperial fittings for that flow sensor, which is great for people using 3/4" pvc, but that's just not a good match for my application.

Any idea what material the flow sensor is made from?

I’m in the same predicament and thinking I may turn down both ends to 1.315” and glue 1” unions on both ends.

When I installed mine I did what was on this thread:

It works great!!

Thanks Ditto... that looks like a much better solution!

Little late to the party here, but here is a more updated link to those fittings from the UK. Mine should be coming in any day now...

I got the same fittings and they are currently installed. I even got a spare pair just in case. They work as expected.
