I am gathering parts for a plumbing project on my tank. My plan was to use 1/2 CPVC parts since I have a 6 foot length of CPVC pipe already. So I bought all my elbows and things but I hit a stumbling block. CPVC is slightly smaller than PVC so when I try to put a Loc Line Flare Nozzle on I am going to have a problem. I am not sure what parts I will need but I would like to use a Loc-Line 1/2 inch Ball Socket x MPT Connector with a Loc-Line 1/2in X 2.5in Flare Nozzle connected to it. The MPT connection was going to be connecting up to a 90 Elbow. I don't remember seeing a 1/2 inch CPVC elbow with a connection that would fit the 1/2 MPT connection. Any suggestions on what to do besides return all the parts and get regular 1/2 inch PVC?

Here is the two things I am connecting up.

to be completly honest I think you will spend more on an adapter than to just buy a 10' piece of 1/2" pvc for a couple of bucks at the most.

i like the way they look so i used them, they work and look cool , gives it a professal look i think, most the rio nossle can fit in a 1/2 slip-fit, which look just as cool and work just as well.


picture here you can see on the left the ball nozzle part of my closed loop and the rio nozzle on the right.
