Clarisea SK5000 inlet thread type?

[kenchilada]

What type of thread is used on the end of the water inlet bar? I cannot use the elbow that comes with the unit due to clearance and I need a straight 1” coupling. The NPT threaded coupling I tried seems like a bad fit.

THANKS DUDES!!!

Nobody knows?

BSPP/BSPT iirc, they are made in England.

Oh great. I might be better off just making a new inlet bar than trying to figure that out. :face-with-tongue:

Thanks for the info.

Maybe I can 3D print an adapter. Should be easy enough to design. :thinking-face:

Thats what I would do!

Yeah I'm not great in fusion outside of the sheet metal tools, but might as well learn some new stuff.

Well that is easy. Just a small prototype to print, then I'll adjust dimensions if it fits.

Ended up with this.

Well done!
