Interesting.

As it turns out, 1.25" EMT is actually 1.5" OD, so it won't fit the
upper hose. And the lower hose will accept 1" EMT, but it is a
slightly loose fit.

I've got other possibilities like copper, (though I haven't found a
90* connector for it yet) aluminum, welding up some mild steel pipe,
marine pipe at 90*, or just build it with two pieces of flexible rad
hose and some barbed fittings.

Thanks,

Neil.
