GAME 4560 40mm Hose to 1 1/2 Inch Inlet/Outlet, Adapter Conversion Kit (For Intex & Bestway Pools), 2 Count (Pack of 1) ,Grey

Fit perfectly in my hayward pool skimmer! We used it to connect a 1 1/2 in hose to our hayward in the wall skimmer and it hooked up great! No leaking! Price was great too!

I was completely re-doing our front drainage. These have held up very well and are working as intended with helping remove the run-off from the house.

i kept trying to figure out why when I bought a new sandfilter/pump combo off amazon why it would suggest this little part. once the pump/filter got here I realized why.i have a intex aboveground hardsided pool, the 1/4 hp pump it came with and 50lb sand filter were clearly not enough to keep up with the filtering so i ordered a 150lb filter with a 1.5hp pump with built in strainer basket. i wanted to keep all the lines that were on the pool still and just hook them up to this new combo but intex has their own size hoses/nut that threads onto their pump and filter. so when i ordered the new stuff none of the hoses i had fit, THIS LITTLE PART HERE THREADS INTO THE PUMP INLET OR FILTER 6WAY VALVE AND ALLOWS YOU TO USE NON INTEX PUMPS/FILTERS WITH YOUR STOCK HOSES.this works great because the intex hoses i like because they are clear and have the built in shut off valve on both sides of the inlet and outlet and i dont want to hard plumb everything with pvc just yet!

What I was hoping for was a fixture with more than just a n o-ring. I have to look for the hose washer end and a flange nut for the pipe threaded end to secure the fixture to my pool.

They wick good for adapting to the bigger fitting on other brands of pool hoses

The kit allowed me to connect my Intex brand pool to the non-Intex pump and filter effortlessly. The plastic construction of the adapter made it durable, and the included gasket and o-rings ensured a leak-proof connection. I must admit, it was a relief to avoid the hassle of hard plumbing with PVC, thanks to these handy adapters.Tip: The Teflon tape included in the kit comes in handy for a snug fit and prevents any leaks. Make sure to use it while connecting your hoses!The only slight criticism I have is that it required a bit more plumbing tape than I anticipated to get a leak-proof seal, but it was a small trade-off for the convenience it offered. All in all, I'm thrilled with this conversion kit, and it turned my pool upgrade into a breeze.

It made the set-up so much easier.

These adapters do indeed adapt from 1.5 inch to intex thread for using their hoses with more common size hardware. I got them to install a 3 way valve, and they did indeed adapt one to the other. They leak out of the box, however. I can't tell if this is because the thread size is just a bit off or if the included gaskets are just too thin. I think perhaps both contribute to the problem. Typically this type of connection will leak if the compression nut is loose, but trying to tighten them more results in the nut jumping the threads so it will not tighten more. This is because the tolerances are a bit loose and perhaps because the intex hose nut is also plastic and somewhat flexible. I could blame the hoses, but they do not leak when connected to anything else on the pool. One could likely correct the issue by using intex seals, which are thicker, but these adapters aren't shaped correctly to accept the intex seals. If you're handy and you don't have other options, these can be made to work. I put E-6000 on one side of each seal, gluing it to the adapters and once dry I put the same sealant on the opposite side and tightened the hose onto the fitting while the sealant was still wet. This worked for me, but God help me when it's time to take these apart. I also used the same sealant between the 3 way valve and the adapters, as the included o-rings would deform and displace as I tightened them in to seal. This may be because of the shape of the mating surface of the valve is rounded so I'm not knocking them on that. Still, although the threads did fit, none of the included seals or o-rings actually sealed for me and I had to improvise to correct. YMMV.At the end of the day, I did get my valve installed and it only cost me an extra $7 on a tube of sealant.
