The way a AODD pump works is the compressed air is on the back side of the diaphragm. The valve spool or actuator shifts back and forth and allows compressed air to fill the chamber which “ pushes “...
Not exactly sure what you mean by aluminum but poly pump Dave ? The wet end of the pump should be aluminum or stainless. Most of the poly wet ends that I’m familiar with are 150 or so degrees . ...
[QUOTE=TrentonMaple;360413]Thank you for the replies.
My problem is finding an adapter that allows me to go from 10" single wall to 10"-inner-diameter/12"-outer-diameter insulated pipe. I have...
I wouldn’t use that float , you can get a float that will work just the “ opposite “ of how a sump pump float works . You’ll also be able to adjust the on/off cycle time . ...
DnG and Leader . I believe those single barb T’s are DnG . I have replaced those with 2 barb CDL and have not had one come apart .
26 is the most I have on a run . I’m not in hilly country by no means , I did have 17” of vacuum at the top tap but of course less on the way down . Since this is takedown tubing , 3/16 is much...
This is my 4th year with 3/16 on some roadsides, all taken down at end of season . First and second year I was pleased with the results .
This year it was terrible , plugs ! Last year I...
Sent you a pm Mike.
I agree Rich , well planned and some nice visits at the different sugarhouses. I'm still amazed how the Amish use hydraulic oil to run their blowers on the arches and pumps for the RO's .

Try Rockford Chimney Supply , I just bought a stainless peak 12" class a roof Jack for $221 includes shipping and storm collar. Not everything is on their website so you may need to call them .
I'm shopping for a new rig myself, so far in my research with the early order discounts CDL is offering 20% off and the others are 10% or 15% if you spend over so much money .

Nice job Mt pockets , glad I could help . One thing that concerns me is your Goulds pump is mounted vertical . I'm not positive but I believe they recommend horizontal only ? Could be wrong tho ,...

[QUOTE=Cedar Eater;326895]And getting to an area maple meeting might be easy in VT, but I've never heard of one near me here in Michigan. Even the nearest supplier is a 3-4 hour drive one way....
Just a thought , would double wall stove pipe be an option ? The clearance to combustibles is 6" and they make it in 8" .
Tim Wilmot did a very good class this year at Verona on 3/16 . He made a few points about using 3/16 or 5/16 for your drops. Couple things that stood out was that 3/16 doesn't drain good where as...

Tim Wilmont study on 2 taps vs 1 tap. With the appropriate size tree 2 taps is definitely worth it .
I agree with what was said previously. One trick that can help you identify maples is look at the ends of the branches. Maples and Ash will have opposing branches from the main stem . Oaks, birch,...
