easiest plumbing from 2 in bulkhead

[dantheman]

hey guys

whats the easiest way (least number of parts) to bring a 2" bulkhead to a 1 in hose barb for a pressure washer.

the setup i have right now works, but i know it has to many parts and can be simplified (like 6 or 7 adapters and fittings before getting to 1" barb)

right now i have a 2" bulkhead, 1 1/2" shutoff valve, 1" hose and a 1" hose barb. what else do i need to simplify this?

Post some pics of your set up Dan so we can see what you've got so far. Stay away from Grainger unless you need a specialty item. Grainger"s prices are very high. Find a Lowes or Home Depot.

incorporate some method of being able to pressure feed the pump for testing purposes..
on an otherwise bad day, you'll be glad you planed or easy troubleshooting
..just say'n.
..and NEVER use steel fittings on the INlet side of a pump.. rut is a problem Going to happen.
