This is so simple but my google skills are apparently lacking. I'd like to replace the pipe from my skimmer to my pump with flex pvc. The intake on the pump is threaded so that will be fine, but the exit from the skimmer is meant to take a clamp. What adapter can I get that will go from that to pvc? I've worked with pvc a bunch before so no questions about the gluing or sealing threaded connections, unless there is something subtle I may be missing. Thanks!

What about a Fernco? That's what I used on mine. 1 1/4" on the skimmer outlet barb x 1 1/2" on the hard pipe going to the pump. Available in any hardware store for under $10. Easy to disconnect if needed. Figure out what size PVC you're going to use, these fittings should be fine as the flex PVC won't crush under pressure from the clamp, unlike the flimsy corrugated tube.
