Bought a new bottom for my aging pool filter.
The new one has 2 1/2" male in/out connectors whereas the old one had 2".

Just finished repairing my pipes and was hoping to avoid cutting again, so looked everywhere online (Lowes, Home Depot, Amazon, Plumbing Supply, Pool Supply / Leslies, generic Google search) but can't find a 2 1/2" female threaded x 2" male threaded PVC adapter.

Maybe I'm looking with the wrong search terms?

The new part inserts into the existing part and the nut gets screwed down.

It does not work like a regular union; the part with the O-ring slips inside the existing part.

Thanks for the videos and sorry if I'm still not seeing how this works without cutting off the 2" threaded union on my pipes.

What does the 2" threaded collar on my pipe screw onto after this kit is installed? There don't appear to be any 2" threads made available after installing the 270100.
