I am helping a buddy replace a filter housing, on which the lid threads have split off, in a hot tub. All of the piping is PVC. The inlet and outlet have fitting right up to the junction of the filter housing, leaving basically no place to cut the line.
Top picture is the inlet, bottom is the outlet. In both pictures, the housing is the gray piece on the left of the picture.
In the inlet, I could potentially just cut it way back before the tee, and replace all the pieces there after. On the outlet side, though, the pipe curves immediately upon exiting the last manifold fitting, making it very unlikely that it will fit into a new fitting. Plus, cutting and replacing all off those hoses and fitting seems like a huge amount of work, if someone knows a better way...
Any ideas? Thanks so much!
