Is it possible to attach pvc pipe directly to this? The pictures show what might be a 2-in male thread under the attachment but not sure.

Of course you can attach PVC to it. Thats how Ive always done it, or the flex hose too. Its just common 2" threaded PVC piece you find at any home depot. Its a slip on the other side so you can glue in a 2" pipe and go from there. Both the intake and the exhaust are the same finer thread.

We attached our discharge hose to 2" PVC and routed it to our 1500 gal water tank. Works great. At least one Discharge hose first, of a length of your choosing, then PVC- will give you room to shift the pump as necessary.

yep. they fit and glue the same as pvc. Clean it well with primer and use a good amount of glue. This pipe is flexible so be careful not to move the joint until the glue sets....

you can use a 1.5 male adapter on the thredded side and use PVC glue to glue the pipe into it, on the slip side you glue your hose into it, your hose has to be PVC as well, if it is a different type of material you can use a no hub two clamp coupling onto a short piece of 1.5 PVC pipe

I think you have to use the bracket. You might be able to mount it directly, but you may have to use/purchase an alternate screw

It comes supplied with the PVC 1" adapter. You can use rigid PVC or a flex hose. I use rigid without gluing the connectors and it works fine.

Yes, I've got them screwed into a 1 1/2" PVC pipe. The seller didn't include the 10mm bolt, which is required to thread the PVC. The thread of the nipple is only about 1/4" so there would be no way to put a nut on the backside. Also, installation must be vertical because of the design, the ball bearing in the nipple seals the opening by gravity. You will need to drill the hole just a bit smaller than the bolt and use plumbing thread tape on the nipple before you install it. Done properly it does not leak at all (at least mine didn't).

No, you cannot connect the valve directly to hose faucet. The threads on the valve are not compatible with the threads on the faucet. There are PVC fittings available that you can use to fabricate an intermediate link that enable you to hook the valve to the end of a section of hose that is attached to a faucet, but it cannot be hooked direct.

There's nothing to permanently attach a hose to. Best you can do IMO is rig something.

I had no luck with a PVC pipe joint partially due to not being able to work in close quarters with dirt in a hole and getting a fit around the joint. It leaked way bad, but the wrap dried solid! Just not against the PVC pipe.

Suggest going on the Rheem website and looking at the pdf installation instructions. Our plumber installed it, and did not use PVC; used some kind of metal vent pipe.

I don't quite follow your question, but no - the threaded connection on this was smooth yet snug with the correct size pipe.

i dont see any threads on this piece youd need to screw an attachment onto....so I m gonna say no...someone else may have found a way to do it...but i dont see the threads....

This didn't really work for me with a screw-on supply hose. I didn't try it with anything else. So, it probably works best with a clip-on or push-on. The threads are there mainly to emulate the normal valve stem, I think.

Several folks have said they made a bracket of PVC pipe to extend cover....can one of them explain just how they did that?Found some photos of a bracket on Buggiesgonewild.comHad to register to see photos. Look under Roof Extension - 2 Passenger to 4Helps but not there yet.

Looks like the hose OD is about 1 1/2" on mine. But I suspect you can use different pvc fittings to make other sizes fit also. Its running now!

No it's for a 1.5" PVC pipe but you can probably use and adapter that will allow you to reduce your 2" pipe down to 1.5"

Yes, I think PVC pipe would be much better than the flimsy material used to make the terrible one I bought! It would need to be attached to a base large enough to support it. Good luck.
