Q:Can this be used in an inground pool?
by|Oct 19, 2022
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  I used it in an above ground pool without any problems.. Connecting to black pvc pipe, heat the black pipe up a little with a torch and it slides on nicely. Clamp it and it's been good for 2 seasons now. Also use it for connecting solar panels which get taken apart every year, 2 seasons on those as well..

        Not CTS PE pipe size
        I bought 1-1/2” size to fit 1-1/2” CTS PE pipe. Doesn’t fit. OD is 1-1/2”. Maybe it’d fit 1-1/2” IPS PE pipe. Description should specify, but doesn’t

          After I bought these I saw the negative reviews and was concerned. After installing them in the flex pvc I left the ditch open for a week, to check for leaks. No leaks. These were very easy to use. Good product.

          Good quality connector. I found it to be a great way to connect 3/4 in poly irrigation tubing to my sprinkler valve. Apollo crimp connector needed to properly secure to tubing.

          For above ground use only
          For anything that "matters" use the Gray Dura. I've used these in a pinch above ground to connect to FPT Rainbird 5000's for a poly riser. I'm 6 weeks in and have not had any leaking problems. Worked at 60psi, but I would not trust these long term. Used them because the Dura were out of stock at the irrigation supply store.
