Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some help identifying both of these poly pipes, and most importantly, the ID so I can select the appropriate barbed fitting to use when replacing the pressure tank.
For the one at the bottom of the picture, (out to yard hydrant) with red paint on it, and coming vertically out of the floor; I’ve been able to read the markings on the pipe and have found NSF 1” Orangeburg & 120psi @ 73.4F. There are a couple others, but I cannot make them out. I did not see any “standard” marking such as IPS, SIDR, SDR, etc. I measured the OD at 1.315” which aligns with 1” IPS.
The pipe coming out of the wall, (supply from well) running through a couple elbows and into the tank tee, has no markings whatsoever. The OD was somewhat variable depending on the orientation I measured it in, but I would going off memory I would say it averaged around 1.290” I can remeasure to get exact numbers.
When it’s time to replace all of this old stuff I need to ensure I have everything on hand to get the job done. Any suggestions on what standard these pipes may be, so I can determine ID and purchase the appropriate barbed fittings? I'm assuming there are different diameter barbs depending on the piping ID?
Additional question: I’ve called two barbed fitting manufacturers asking about the OD of the barbs on their fittings. The response from both was 1.095” and that the fittings are intended to work with piping that has an average ID of 1.049”. Why so much interference, and how would this work with a variety of different ID standards?
Thank you!
