GHL Flow Meter: Found Alternative Adapters

[Member No 1]

I should have been more specific. Did you have to purchase PVC rod and turn the OD and bore the ID?

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?

 

[Member No 1]

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

 

[CEReefer]

Do you sell these?

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.

Correct, unfortunately I don’t have a lathe. But if anyone wants to make a couple of those, I will buy them!

What size? I might have some extra from trying different methods.

 

[CEReefer]

I need them for 2x 1" flowmeters (so 4 total) and 1x 3/8" flowmeter (so 2 total for this one).

I will look tonight possible I have some for the 1". I do not use the smaller one so never made any for that.

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.
