The house I bought has a patched together plumbing job and I am trying to do it over right. One problem is that the pressure tank is corroded and need replacement. OK, so I have a new 34 gallon Water Worker tank and a new tee with all the gadgets (pressure switch, gauge, release valve, check valve, ball valve, drain valve).
Now the issue: The black plastic pipe that comes out of the basement wall from the well. I would have to cut it and make a new connection. The problem is, I cannot identify the size. It has an OD of about 1 5/32 (1.15625 inch). I look at all the types of plastic (PVC, poly, ABS) pipes, and none of them have a diameter of that size. 3/4 would have an OD of 1.050 inch, 1 inch pipe should be 1.315 inch. I measured it carfully, and also did a circumference measurement to double-check. It has black plastice elbow connections on it, not threaded so I assume they are glued, so they must have been available at some time. A picture is attached. The pipe has no markings.
I just need to be able to make an elbow connection and pipe it to a 1 inch MPT. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
