1 1/2 Inch Plumbing Connector for PF1200 and PF3600 Filters
The PondMax Replacement Schedule 40 Connector provides a 1 1/2 inch plumbing connection point on PondMax PF1200 and PF3600 pressure filters. This fitting links the filter to rigid PVC or flexible hose runs and is a common point of wear where seasonal plumbing is disconnected and reconnected each spring and fall.
A Direct, Code-Rated Plumbing Match
Schedule 40 PVC connectors are the industry standard for pressurized pond plumbing because their wall thickness holds up to the operating pressure inside a pressure filter without swelling or splitting. Repeated seasonal disconnection for winterizing, combined with UV exposure over the summer, eventually cracks the threads or the solvent-weld hub. A damaged connector shows up as a slow drip or spray at the joint even when the rest of the plumbing is tight.

How to Use
Drain the filter and cut or unscrew the damaged connector from the filter port. Clean the mating surface and dry-fit the replacement before applying PVC primer and cement for a solvent-weld connection, or thread sealant if the port is threaded. Allow solvent-welded joints to cure fully before repressurizing the system.
Ideal for PF1200 and PF3600 owners replacing seasonal plumbing connections or repairing a joint that has started to weep at the filter port.
