Unions - Outside Diameters
Regarding pump unions -  2" Pump unions is one of the most common in the marketplace.
Be aware the 2" dimension does not relate to any measurement on the union.

1" union = 2-2/8" - 57mm
1-1/2" union = 2-13/16" - 71mm
2" union = 3-3/8" - 81mm
2-1/2" union = 4-1/4" - 105mm
