Regular PVC pipe is 4" ID, which is what the filter & intake tubes are. I was able to get mine together without an adapter. Look for couplers, not pieces of pipe... Not sure which size you'd need, but I know regular 4" pipe won't do it. Maybe someone else can tell you which couplers they used...

I just put the Intake hose over the filter - seems to be holding fine. I suppose any 4 inch OD pipe would work.

Talking

Yes, use a coupler thats 4 inch Outer diameter. I took a tape measure to the home depot and measured till I found one. I forget what size pipes it couples but it is about 1/8th inch thick so you lose a little of the 4 inches on the filter air intake hose but not much and surely not enough to matter. It's not brain surgery, is it?
