While repairing outside plumbing to my well pump. I got into a predictiment that I cannot figure out. In my supplies, I had a 1" PVC coupling and have no idea where it was purchased.
The coupling has the same outside diameter the full length but it has provisions for tightening with a large wrench and also has ribbs for tightening with pliers.
The coupling has NO THREADS.
Markings on the fittings are--PVC 1-1 D2466 1 1/4-1 Sch 40.
The outside diameter of a 1" PVC pipe is 1 5/16"
The O.D. of a 1 1/4" pipe is 1 5/8"
The I.D. of one end of this fitting is correct for a 1" pipe but the other end is 1.370" (slightly under 1 3/8")
Since I have completed the repair, I am not greatly concerned about this fitting but was just wondering what kind of fitting is this?
Is it some kind of special fitting or just a screw-up in manufacturing?
I will try to post a picture later.
