Author: packy (MA) if its copper tubing then it is either 3/4 inch (WHICH IT IS NOT) 1 1/4 inch (which it is not) so are left with 1 inch copper tubing. there are plenty of underground fittings available to replace what you have. i say underground because they are stronger and heavier than household type stuff. looks like one of these should do [www.amazon.com]
