Is it easy to remove? the whole assembly i mean. i'm concerned if i give it a try and the tab snaps into place i won't be able to remove it.

Yes, it's easy. Twist, and the inner (green) filter comes up. Pull, and the entire assembly (green inner, and white outer) comes out.

Is this filter sized to insert into a 3" pipe or 4" pipe?

This filter fits into a 4 inch pipe. And it snaps in snuggly. The filter itself is only about 3 inches, but the top part snaps into a 4 inch pipe and stays there. You can then turn the handle and remove the filter from the top piece, but it stays put. You need a 4 inch pipe for this to work.

Can you put a pipe on it so you can remove it and put it in ? What the out side dimension as thin pipe and sch 40 different .

Yes, I made an extension and a tee handle out of 3/4" schedule 40 PVC. A couple of notes; PVC 3/4" schedule 40 pipe will fit into the top of the filter where the filter handle is located. I believed normal PVC glue would not secure the PVC onto the filter. So I drilled a hole in the PVC and utilized a stainless steel bolt & nut with flat washers on each side to secure it to the filter. I used stainless steel so it would not corrode. The filter does not simply lift in and out. When inserted it is twisted to lock into place. So I used a PVC Tee to make a tee handle on the end of the extension to aid in twisting the filter into and out of the lock position.

I have the yellow tuff-tite unit. will this drop into the same standard outlet tee, or do i need a special extra-long outlet tee for it?

If you have a newer tank I would think that it would drop right in. If you have something older,or not to code,then some type of modification may be necassary
