Leaking PVC hose connections

[Pattyw]

My hose to pvc connections leaked bad. What did I do wrong?

Is it leaking where the flexible hose slides onto the pvc stand pipe or where the stand pipe is screwed into the pump/filter housing?

Probably a king nipple or a hose stinger

Is it slide on all the way, how is the hose clamp, what is the condition of the hose

Sorry I don't have a pic tonight. I'll try tomorrow. I was creating a diversion with a shut off valve to attach my intex auto vacuum to. So that I could control the pressure to the vacuum. The leaks were where the intex hose attaches to the pvc connection. Thank you.

Hose condition is good. It is a threaded connection. It leaks where the intex hose attaches to the pvc connector. Thank you

Intex connectors are 40MM. Are you sure you are using the correct 'PVC connector"?

I use Intex hoses with PVC, and for the proper connection I use the GAME 4560 adapter:

No, I am not sure if I have the correct PVC connectors. I bought 2" PVC connectors that I glued to the end of pvc 2" pipes. The Intex hose screws on to these but leaks terribly. IDK, but thanks for the info.

The 2” MPT connectors will be close, but not an exact fit, and will not screw down far enough to seal against the rubber gasket/washer. Some have used two or three rubber washers to get them to stop leaking.

With the 40MM adapters I get no leaks.

I see, I Teflon taped the thread a lot so I get no keaks
