Molded EPDM rubber hoses designed specifically for use with solar pool heating systems. 6" Connector Hoses go on the outlet of the last collector and the inlet of the first collector. They are used to make connections from panel to pipe adapter to PVC pipe (connecting feed and return plumbing lines to the panels). A CPVC pipe adapter is required for making the connection from panel to PVC pipe.
Durable UV-resistant EPDM rubber for long life in direct sun.
Hose-clamp indicator ridges for perfect placement and seal.
Hose-clamps sold separately.
6" wide.
*Only couplings made for pool solar applications should be used with solar heating panels for residential and commercial swimming pools.
Compatibility:Will work with any solar pool heating system that has round 1.5” or 2" I.D. header manifolds and makes attachments with rubber hose type connectors.

My pool solar plumbing, on the roof, sprang a tiny leak in mid coupling. No local suppliers had the replacement coupling so I went to chat GPT. I described my situation and location. Chat told me about SPS (solar pool supply) and the parts I needed. I ordered and my Heavy Duty Connector Premium Rubber Coupling. It anrrived quickly and I Installed it in no time and I feel it’ll do its job for years to come. Thanks SPS for having what I needed and the timely delivery!
These couplings are an inch shorter than my original one, but they fit the solar mats end pipes well and do not make your hands black like the old rubber ones did.
It was and is a pleasure to deal with this company. They are prompt, answer questions and really care for your business.
I've had their roof top solar pool panels for about 3 years and had a pvc pipe burst this winter. Needed a longer hose connector which they promtly provided.
The guys at Solar Pool provided the best customer service I have experienced in the last 20 years. I ordered the wrong diameter 7" coupler (my fault). So I called the main number and within 5 minutes I was called back, they walked me through the exchange process, and went ahead and sent the correct diameter coupler right away so my solar heater was back in action sooner.
I could not be more confident in using this business moving forward if I need to repair my system again. Absolute professionals, US based small business, well run and friendly. (Total opposite of trying to return/exchange anything through the "mega prime rainforest make everything in China" alternative.)
Solar Pool Supply earned my business!
It would help to specify the inner diameter of the middle section of the coupling where the coupling wall is much thicker to avoid bulging. Also useful to know how many inches of the middle are thick. This has an impact on planning the pvc pipe ends which are being joined.
Thanks,
Dave
I used this part to replace a broken coupling on an existing solar pool heating system. It worked perfectly. Hopefully it will last longer than the glued coupling it replaced.
The solar panels and associated equipment and connectors from Solar Pool Supply are the best quality and well worth the cost. Their solar panels are tough and they really work.
These couplings (along with everything else we purchased from solar pool supply) are fantastic. They're made of durable, high quality rubber, and the fit was perfect. Thanks SPS!
