No, I purchased PVC tubing that had the correct ID (or close to it) and the OD was oversize so I could turn it to the proper dimensions for the metric nut and 1" (1.315") PVC connection.

Where did you source the PVC tubing?

2000l/h 5/8" ID x 1-1/8" OD
5000l/h 3/4" ID x 1-1/4" OD
9000l/h 1" ID x 1-1/2" OD
All of the OD's need to be machined to fit the corresponding metric nut.

Access to the lathe is helpful. You could make these and sell them

Those were available when I made mine. I did not like that on the 9000 L/H sensor which has a 1" ID you had to go down to 3/4" pipe with the imperial adapters and on the 5000 L/H down to 1/2" from the 20mm ID of the sensor.
I think the question was asking Member1 if he sold his custom fittings
I did make mine different then Member 1. I used parts from a union glued to the pipe then turned on the lathe.

I just found myself in the same boat... I wish GHL would have gone the extra mile and provided custom non-reducing fittings.
Off to find some G1" to 3/4" Socket adapters. No lathe here.
