Anybody know where I can get a 1" pipe to 1 1/4" hose fitting in stainless? I've found them in bronze but need stainless.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks!

1 inch pipe is basically the same size as 1 1/4 inch barb. Machine some grooves in a pipe nipple if you can't find anything. As I typing this I remember Teague had a bunch of SS 1 1/4 stuff.

I'm sure I have something at the shop in Pompano

Kris are you saying I can just buy a 1" pipe nipple and the 1 1/4" hose on the nipple end won't be too big? Just double hose clamp it and it'll be fine? It's going on the raw water intake in the transom and to my primary strainers.

Marc can you let me know if you have two of them please? I can come get them Friday...would really appreciate it!

i would do bronze in salt. unless you are willing to change out the black pipe nipple at least once a year. 3 bucks at Lowes though...

I'm sure I have 2, if not I can make them. I normally keep 6" stainless nipples around for just that reason. I'll check in the AM.

When I was much younger (before I had a lathe) did the straight nipple/hose clamp thing and wound up in the water with my hand over the intake to keep the boat from sinking when the hose came off. Might have only been 1 clamp then, i don't think i knew any better.

Now we turn down the nipple and leave a bead on the end. And 2 clamps - always!

Well sh!t, if you can make them even better, lol.

PM me a # I can call you at tomorrow.

Thanks a lot!

CP Performance has some really nice fittings. They are investment SS and then polished. Very nice pieces. I use them exclusively and love them.

McMaster Carr has SS pipe to barb fittings also. Just for future reference.

Should have just called you first Eddie

That's exactly what I need, thanks again!
