i think the print is making u more confused.
i read i also a bit blur. anyway my advise , ignore the printing. best if u can remove , bring the sample to HW shop if not , measure pipe OD, that should be ur elbow ID if u need any. for what i know, Grey type there is 2 types. not sure is because china made vs watever, or diff company products. i bought a union last time, diff place buy , not a snudge fit. but use glue liao , all ok another is the white type , thin wall regards ur tank return to sump which i presume u are using , is always bigger than ur pump supply back to main tank. so the throw back to sump will nv get choke or "flow" slower than ur supply. else might chance of overflow main tank . got pics? |

Normally the gray colour pipes are called Heavy duty pipe as they are mostly thick walled.
Try Mainland at Pasir Ris as they have plenty of those Gray colour pipe fittings. Also, for these pipe because they are mainly from USA, they are classified by inches. Etc, 0.5 inches or 3/4 inches. For 1 inches, it is about 25.4mm. Hope this helps. |
