The NPT ports on my reservoirs are 1" females. Pentek makes a head that has 1.5" female NPT ports. But supposedly, it won't fit on my sumps. So last night, I got the idea of tapping the existing threads to 1 1/4". I think there's enough room to do that. But I want to know what problems could I create by doing so?
1.) Could I weaken the ports too much. I don't see how. Because the 1.5" heads don't look any different than the heads I have.
I looked for the prices of 1 1/4" NPT taps. And they're almost as much as buying another smaller 10" filter housing with the 1.5" ports as standard (http://filter.filtersfast.com/search...core&view=list).
But I'm not sure if I would have the room to add yet another reservoir, no matter how small it is. It would be advantageous. Because then I wouldn't have so much trouble figuring out how I'm going to mount my injector. But again, I have to wait to see if it's even possible. I almost want to return these housings. But that would really kill my spirit in doing this. Because the cosmetics are integral to the build itself. I want to see the liquid boiling in the reservoirs. Just like scenes from old TV shows. Frankenstein and the like. So this is also about emotion. I want to continue to be fascinated with this build.
That's why I don't want to give any specs. It would just be premature.
