Re: gate valve 1.5" does not fit

I just got a ER RS180 (brand new)
I ordered the 1.5" Sch40 gate valve from Savko

Got the valve, but it does not fit any of the pipe on the RS180
They are not using 1.5" sch40? i am confuse

It was about 1mm bigger than the normal 1.5" sch40 pipe sold at Homedepot/Lowes. The End join indicated it's UPVC what ever that mean, not PVC

What should I do, try to enlarge the gate valve to make it fit? did ER change something recently?
I don't know the answer to that one. When I wanted to add the gate valve modification to my Euro-reef, I bought the matching kit from Premium Aquatics for $40.

I noticed this is your first post!
