The crappy tire one is a knock-off of the Beckett foaming fountain nozzle I believe. The OD dimensions are the same on the ends yet there is a slightly smaller ID on the inlet end. Just tried one on a Little Giant-4 and it works very well IMO. Maybe the Beckett version will hit the shelves at Rona or HD this month, maybe.

My understanding is the Beckett line of pond foamer has been discontinued, so we're not likely to see them back. The knock offs should do a fine job though...

I think you can get a beckett with a pre-built PVC housing on ebay.

What is the size of the opening needed for a beckett to sit in??

i.e how tall is it without measureing the two ends where it gets attached if that makes any sense!!
