Did you remove the bushing from the old cannister? There is a bushing that
goes between the pipe fitting and the cannister/filter head. You should be
able to remove it from the old cannister and direct fit to the filter head.
The pipe fiiting would then screw into the bushing. If, for some
inexplicable reason, the threads are different, a visit to an auto supply
or plumbing shop may be your next step.
