Intex/Bestway Inlet/Outlet adapters

thingiverse

Somewhat thorough reworking of the entire thing ;)\r\n\r\nAdapters are designed to suit inlet/outlet of Intex/Bestway pools.\r\n\r\nThe inlet/outlet fittings for these pools come in two types, "small" and "large", each with its own unique characteristics.\r\n\r\nThe "small" strainer adapters have a push fit design that suits the smaller pools, while the "large" ones pass through the wall of the pool and secure with a nut on the back.\r\n\r\nThe "large" strainer adapters feature two threads: an inner thread matching the dimensions of the "small" strainer adapters, and an outer thread designed for use with the adapter plate.\r\n\r\nTo couple to either thread, adapters have been designed that fit securely in place.\r\n\r\nThese adapters consist of multiple parts, depending on the type of strainer adapter being used.\r\n\r\nFor "small" strainer adapters or the inner thread on large adapters, there are two parts: a threaded ring and an adapter that mates to the ring to connect whatever is needed.\r\n\r\nThe "large" adapter consists of a threaded ring and an adapter plate that allows it to use adapters designed for "small" rings.\r\n\r\nRings come in three types:\r\n- Ring_Large_Inner: threads onto the inner thread on large strainer adapters, mates with one of the adapters below.\r\n- Ring_Large_Outer: threads onto the outer thread on large strainer adapters, combined with the adapter plate below, mates with one of the adapters listed below.\r\n- Ring_Small: threads onto small strainer adapters, mates with one of the adapters below.\r\n\r\nAdapter plates are designed for specific use cases:\r\n- Large_Adapter_Plate: allows connection between a "ring_large_outer" and one of the adapters below.\r\n\r\nAdapters (note that hose connections have no retention features, making them suitable only for suction):\r\n- Adapter_32_Cuff: mates with cuffs on most standard pool accessory hoses.\r\n- Adapter_32_PVC: has an ID that mates to the OD of 32mm PVC pressure pipe.\r\n- Adapter_32mm_Hose: mates to 32mm/1-1/4" push-on hoses supplied with smaller pools and the "Deluxe Pool Maintenance Kit"\r\n- Adapter_38mm_Hose: mates to 38mm/1-1/2" push-on hose supplied with the surface skimmer.\r\n- Adapter_Solid: a blank adapter with no hole.\r\n\r\nIf you want to design your own adapters for use with the rings or adapter plate, you need a step ~82.6mm diameter (rebate is 83.5mm diameter) and 3mm deep on the bottom of your adapter to mate securely to the ring.
