INTEX 1.25" to 1.5" Type B Hose Adapters User Manual

1. Product Overview

The INTEX Type B Hose Adapters are designed to facilitate the upgrade of your pool's filtration or saltwater system. This set of two adapters allows you to convert existing 1.25-inch pool fittings to accommodate larger 1.5-inch hoses, which are typically used with higher-capacity pumps (1500 GPH or larger) or saltwater systems.

Image shows two grey Intex Type B Hose Adapters. Each adapter features a threaded end for secure connection and a lever mechanism for tightening. These adapters are designed to convert 1.25-inch pool fittings to 1.5-inch fittings.

2. Product Features

• Part Number: 10722/25009.

3. Setup and Installation

These adapters are crucial for connecting larger diameter hoses (1.5 inches) from upgraded pump or saltwater systems to your Intex pool's existing 1.25-inch inlet and outlet fittings. Follow these general steps for installation:

1. Ensure Power is Off: Before beginning any installation, ensure your pool pump and any related electrical equipment are turned off and unplugged from the power source.
2. Drain Water (if necessary): If your pool's inlet/outlet fittings are below the water line and do not have shut-off valves, you may need to partially drain the pool to below the level of the fittings to prevent water leakage during installation.
3. Attach Adapter to Pool Fitting: Securely screw or attach the 1.25-inch end of the Type B adapter to your pool's existing 1.25-inch inlet/outlet fitting. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
4. Connect 1.5-inch Hose: Once the adapter is firmly in place on the pool fitting, connect your 1.5-inch pump or saltwater system hose to the larger end of the adapter. Use appropriate hose clamps (not included with adapters) to secure the hose to the adapter, ensuring a watertight seal.
5. Repeat for Second Fitting: Most pump upgrades require two adapters (one for the inlet and one for the outlet). Repeat the process for the second pool fitting.
6. Check for Leaks: After installation, slowly refill your pool (if drained) and turn on the pump. Carefully inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten hose clamps or adapter connections as needed.

For visual guidance, refer to the 'Product Overview Video' in Section 1, which demonstrates the adapter's components and general connection method.

4. Operating Considerations

Once installed, the Type B Hose Adapters function passively to allow the flow of water between your pool and the larger 1.5-inch hoses of your upgraded pump or saltwater system. No specific operational steps are required for the adapters themselves. Ensure that all connections remain secure during pump operation to maintain optimal water flow and prevent leaks.

5. Maintenance

The Intex Type B Hose Adapters are constructed from durable plastic designed for longevity. Minimal maintenance is required:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the adapters and their connections for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Check hose clamps for tightness.
• Cleaning: If necessary, clean the adapters with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the plastic.
• Winterization: During winterization, disconnect the adapters and store them in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prolong their lifespan.
