Pentair 40 watt UV steriliser

[DavidJTawil]

I just bought a pentair 40 watt uv steriliser used from a member on here. Unfortunately it came missing one of the unions that connects to the body of the steriliser. I could buy a genuine part from Pentair for $60. I could also try and find a union which will fit around the male threads. Anybody know which size union would work for this. I’m afraid it may not be a standard size. All help is greatly appreciated.

I will suggest to take the rest of the union or simply measure it and pay a visit to home depot or lowes or any other plumbing shop. I think its just a 1 1/2 inch simple union

ok thanks. I’ll give that a try

Pentair unions have threads that are proprietary, meaning only their unions fit, very frustrating. I think I only paid 20$ for mine though? I bought directly from them.
