Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First off, I don't know why anyone would order these adapters from any place other than Intex directly - the manufacturer.They sell them for about $2.50ea and you can get two, delivered anywhere for about $10.
Second, while they do attach nicely, they do cause the rest of the hose and attachments to stick out and pull down on the protruding 1 1/4" black nozzle as another poster indicated.
Finally, there is a design flaw in that the black gasket, on the end of the adapter that attaches to the plunger valve, is mated to a rim rim that is hollow.You can see this by just pulling the gasket back on that edge.Once assembled everything will work fine for a while.But after a few minutes, the gasket gets sucked into the hollow rim and causes air to enter the system resulting in a "buzzing" around the adapter and significantly reduced water flow - probably not good for the pump either.The rim really should be a solid flat surface for the gasket to mate to.This is probably caused by the a pump that is designed for 1 1/2" openings moving water through the a 1 1/4" adapter.
I considered fixing this by filling the hollow edge with liquid resin available from a craft store.I ultimately just cut out the 1 1/4" inflow and outflow black tube and installed the strainer/nozzle assemblies that came with the pump, ditching the adapters altogether.Everything works fine and I have an 1 1/2" path through the whole system. An added benefit is that the assemblies now don't pull down on the pool liner as they are closer and have much more surface area in contact with the liner.

Product Description:
These hose conversion adapters is the minimum required parts when you upgrades your existing Intex pool filter pump system 1000gph or smaller to any of the more powerful 1500gph, 2500gph or larger pool filter pump. If your pool is 16' in diameter of smaller, you would need this set(2 converters) to adapte to the larger 1.5" ID hose with threaded connection to your 1.25" ID hose connection. Please verified the compatibility of these hose adapters to your pool set, if you do not have an Intex pool set. ***** Not recommended for Intex 4000gph pool filter pump(this is was never designed for pool set w/ less than 52" height sidewall), due to the much higher flow-rate. ****
