Above Ground Skimmer With 2 Inch Pipe?

[sunshinelock]

I'm putting up my 12 x 24 oval above ground saltwater pool. I notice the skimmer that came with it is a Hayward SP1091WM Wide-Mouth with 1 1/2 inch piping. I plan on piping this new install in 2 inch pipe. The skimmer measures 4 7/8 x 11 1/2 at the opening, so I assume the cut out is a bit larger or at the same size.

I'm having a tough time finding a skimmer with 2 inch piping.

Then if I do, I probably wont be able to find something matching that cutout.

What can I do?

Not ideal, but you can use a 1-1/2" to 2" adapter. Of course, if you can find the 2" skimmer in the same size, that would be perfect.
