connecting BK to schedule80??

[byron]

sorry, probably asked and answered a million times, but...

I'm considering a BK 300 External which has metric in & out.
Talking to a supplier of the unit, I asked if they had anything to connect it to schedule 80 and they said "no", maybe try a "silicone repair coupler" and just replace it every year when it gets brittle and begins to leak... that sounds klugy to me, so I'm assuming that the BK lovers around the world have arrived at a better solution.

What is the correct way to attach a BK to schedule 80?

to make it simpler, forget the schedule 80 part maybe... what is the best way to connect something in metric to plumbing in inches?

You could order metric pipe online, or a bushing of some sort.

I went thru this connecting my BK 300, I think my return line was just under 2" . I whent and picked up a 2" fern coat and coupled tbe pipes together. Been running for over 2 years. So measure the pipe and go get a fern coat close to the size and tighten the fern coat clamps. Your done.

How did I not think of that? I might use a mission coupling, but a fern coat work suffice
