![]() I don't plan on adding any thread - slip couplers as that increases the chances of a leak so I'm simply going to remove the threads & make them slips that is unless they are going to ship me new ones for free.

![]() Ask a mod they can remove all your threads.....lol j/k
If it was me I would use some sort of sanding drum or hole saw with sand paper attached to drill out the threads. I was able to just drill it out on 1/2" stuff but have never tried it on the larger scale
