It is a 1-1\/2 in by 2 in set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the unions do\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bulkhead unions are the connections where the pool plumbing meets the filter tank. They are what let you break the filter loose for service without cutting pipe, and they are the joint most likely to be found dripping on an older tank, since they get loosened and retightened every time the filter is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes and color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit covers 1-1\/2 in and 2 in, so it works with either plumbing size at the filter. This listing is the black version. Pentair makes the same kit in white under a different part number, so match the color to the hardware already on your tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace the set rather than one half. A union seals as a pair, and a new collar working against an old, distorted seat is a leak waiting to happen. Hand tighten the collars, since over tightening is what strips the threads in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626725552340,"sku":"PAC-051-3065","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_d2f66376-9404-453d-b827-10ca07a98b78.jpg?v=1788714060","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/bulkhead-union-kit-1-1-2-and-2-black","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
