Thanks - I've done it before as well but in this case I already had a 1 1/4" slip fix as well as a new replacement solenoid valve on hand - plus the other intersecting pipe (the outlet side) already had a 1" slip fix that was 'reusable' so it was quicker just to do the surgery. I also didn't want to have to come back a third time.
Got that new electric pressure washer delivered today (the one I mentioned in the pressure washer thread) from Amazon's "deal of the day" and I have to say so far I love it! So much quieter and it really has a lot of blasting power - enough for most jobs I need one for. I plan on using it over the next few days on a few things here. 2 year warranty from Sun Joe, too.
