Looking at the Diskin motor upclose, they just used a plastic extension, threaded into the motor. Then attached the rubber cuff to that.

Hello fellow car washers,
I am in a dilemma again,
I bought a motor like the one dyskin are selling from some guy online. I want to try if it's going to work but can't understand how to attach the coupling that is right after the motor. It looks like the cuff is over the motor opening and tight with the clam. But on my motor there is no space to slip over the cuff. Is the motor different or should I screw some extension to the motor and then put the rubber cuff?
Thank you in advance!

Is the motor you bought from some guy online the same frame size, HP, RPM's, ETC as the diskin motor?

Thank you Kimberly! Your are always a great help!
By any chance you know the outer diameter of the plastic extension? The inner thread size of my motor is around 2.15".

Happy to help! I just happen to have an extra Diskin motor at home. The plastic extension end is tapered. OD is 2 1/4", ID is 1 7/8". Wall thickness (including the taper) is 3/16". The threaded piece extends out of the motor by 1 1/4".

A bigger picture would be helpful, but it looks it requires a threaded male adapter to which you would add a piece of pipe that will accept the rubber clamp coupling. Schedule 80 PVC should work.

Any 2" 'close nipple' should work, just don't use PVC that close to the motor because it will deform from the heat.

The old ones included a steel nipple, and the newer ones have what looks like a PVC nipple.

wonder if its a schedule 80?

I'm sure it's fine but I originally plumbed mine with schedule 80 and the first peice was a 90° elbow that looked like a kid blowing a bubble with chewing gum after heavy use. It gets warm close to the motor. Everything else downstream was good. I would personally avoid PVC that close to the motor because of that experience and because the price difference is negligible.

I think Schedule 80 is rated for more pressure but not more temperature than Schedule 40.

Maybe that nipple is not PVC, but it is definitely plastic.

 

[Kimberly Berg]

Yes, it's definitely plastic. Dark Gray. Looks like Schedule 80 to me. Maybe they make a special version that's more heat-resistant???

Just found this online...
A heat-resistant Schedule 80 threaded nipple is a durable pipe fitting, often made from CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) or sometimes PVC, designed for hot water, chemical, or high-pressure systems, offering superior temperature and pressure tolerance (CPVC up to 200°F/93°C, PVC to 140°F/60°C) than standard Schedule 40, featuring Male NPT threads on both ends for secure connections in demanding applications like pool heaters or industrial settings.
Key Characteristics:

• Material: While standard Sch 80 is PVC (rated for 140°F), CPVC is specifically used for higher heat, handling temperatures up to 200°F (93°C).
• Schedule 80: Indicates a thick wall for increased pressure rating and durability compared to Schedule 40.
• Applications: Ideal for pool heaters, pumps, chemical processing, and hot water lines where standard PVC isn't sufficient.
