Flow meter unions...

I need an extra pair of the 1" Thread by Slip Unions for the 1" Flow meter. Can anyone provide a link? The threads are not standard...

Thanks,
Aaron

Here is a link. Make sure you order the correct amount of fittings as they are sold each not as a pair

Jonmos, Thank you for the link.
I was hoping to find them through someone other than Neptune. The flat rate shipping of $15 is a bit ridiculous. I was going to order a replacement plastic mount for my 1Link but it was going to be $15 shipping. It could ship for $3.00 First class mail.

You can use most 1" flanges. The ones i buy at HD work with a little sanding.

You just need to buy a standard 1" union. Take the flange, sand it down so that it fits in the Neptune supplied union.

You are saying that you can replace the flange and use the original union?

Yes, you reuse the Neptune supplied collar with the new flange.
