I need a valve for my return hose. It is tigerflex f42m hose. My best guess with tape is 1.9 od. I bought the tank used and there was no valve on return, it has a corner overflow and sounds like a sink draining all the time. I believe all I need is a valve to adjust the level in the overflow to quiet it down.

What is the ID? Maybe its a 1.5" valve you are after. I think the OD of 1.5" PVC is around 1.9" Also, how many holes are drilled for your drains? If you are going to restrict the flow of one to raise the level in your overflow you should have another standpipe there as an emergency.

It has an emergency pipe in overflow, I just measured it again and id is like 1 5/8 inch ond od is around 1 7\8. It is a flex pipe so it might be a little off depending where it is cut......

You're looking for a 1 1/2" valve. 1.5" TigerFlex Spa PVC has an OD of 1.904" (roughly 1 7/8").

Western pump was the best place that I went to for plumbing parts in PVC. They had all sizes of gate valves, check valves, all different pieces. It is almost like a one stop shop. Id go there. Its in the SE just off barlow.
