Intex sand filter discharge reducer fitting

[SoonerMark]

I just bought a 14" Krystal clear Intex sand filter. I am trying to figure out how to attach the 2" discharge hose (the limp blue plastic tubing). The discharge on the head of the filter is a threaded male fitting that measures 2 1/4". The discharge hose is 2" (bought at the pool supply store). Is there a female fitting to reduce down to the 2" hose? I called Intex and I'm not sure the asian girl I talked to understood what I wanted but told me the only thing they had was a cap and I have that.
