I had an easy 15 ft blow up intex pool that is gone now , but I kept the inlet valves. Will they fit into a Bestway 15x48 outlet and inlet holes or does Bestway make a set of valves? . My Bestway pool did not come with any and unfortunately i filled up the the pool before remembering about the valves to try them.
I am new to this forum and would appreciate your thoughts . Thanks a bunch
Ps. The intex hoses from the pump fit so loose on bestway that i really have to clamp it thus pinching and restricting the water flow.
 
Welcome! :wave: This topics is very common on the forum here in the AGP section. In short - maybe. Intex and Bestway seem to fluctuate between 40mm, 1.25, and 1.5" fittings. Seems as though the parts used on a particular run of pool packages were dependent upon the parts available at that time/location. So be ready for just about anything.
 
I have a bestway and use intex hoses off ebay.

Wrap 3-5 turns of plumbers tape around the threads before installing.
Also I'm slowly ditching the stock stuff and going to hard plumbing and actual pool stuff.
1.5" npt pvc fitting use 2 washers then they work to connect to a hose.
