Disclaimer After checking out some other hardware stores, I found that not all the couplings are made the same. I do recommend sticking to homedepot fore these parts OR if you have to go to a different hardware store, make sure your 3/4” coupler fits snugly, but not too tightly within the 1” coupler. Next make sure the 1” coupler fits fairly loosely inside the 1 and 1/4” coupler. Also, make sure the 1 and 1/4” coupler fits inside some 2” ABS pipe. This doesn’t have to be a perfect fit as you can always accommodate for a looser fit later. Finally, make sure the 2” ABS caps have a flat bottom as the ones in home hardware OR RONA actually had this curved bottom which would make mounting the legs a nightmare.
