It eliminates the need for custom-machined adapters or improvised reductions when integrating larger plumbing runs into an AquaBasin system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmooth Transition Between Pipe Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePondless waterfall systems often pair large-diameter supply lines from high-volume pumps with the AquaBasin's connection points. Without the correct adapter, the difference in pipe sizes creates a leak-prone connection or requires an extended run of reducers and couplers. This single adapter bridges the step-down cleanly, maintaining flow integrity and minimising potential leak points in a buried plumbing run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 cm (2\") MPT male pipe thread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.8 cm (1.5\") threaded collar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquascape AquaBasin reservoir fittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePVC thermoplastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread the 2-inch MPT end into the corresponding female fitting on the supply line, using PTFE thread tape on the male threads for a watertight seal.
