How old is that hose?

Two?

 

[BIG WOOD]

with the rust on that crimp, it looks like it's two years old

 

[sassyotto]

we told all our techs is if there is a leak in the line, dont panic! just put the vac hose on the leak.

one of the drawback to using 1.5....

 

[AlienAgent]

This liability wouldn’t have ever been a concern, had you used VLM.

 

[Doug Cox]

I wouldn’t ever consider using stainless braided hose. Way too heavy among other reasons.

Brister sells some neat in-the-field repair couplings.
Tell him hi for me.

1.5 what?

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Vac hose..

the pressure hose and ball valve womnt fit into the cuff...

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Turns out I'm out of brass QD's for a while so all hose oreders will come with stainless QD's,
until they dont.


No extra charge..

2" hose here. And yes, a female connect and shuttoff DO fit in there. Ask me how I know...

Remember the Prochem TriJet is just like your wand except it flares out to 2 inch at the end. If yours did that Id buy it in a heartbeat.

The Tri jet is many pounds heavier

Has a unnecessary third jet, which mandates a spray manifold which causes drips/drainage

It's jets are not at the key 45° angle

Uses a horrible Glide system that needs to be glued on so interchangeability is out the window

And most importantly, I'm not willing to wear my joints out so that my customers may or may not enjoy carpet that is dried 3 minutes quicker.

The dry times on this wand are already ridiculous, not to say I haven't tried running 2-in hose to it with use of adapters, but the benefits don't exceed the negatives.

I think he's saying if you can tell westpak to make a 12-13" version of your 530 with 3 angled jets, it'd be an awesome wand

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

No thanks

 

[Cleanworks]

Pmf makes a titanium 2 inch wand with 3 jets. I'm not thrilled with the placement of the jets. Too close to the edges and too far apart in the center.

That’s because pmf made it

We use those on the plastic hose... do they work on steel braid hose?

 

[hogjowl]

I have no idea.
I’m just pissing on Mikey.

Gator crimps.. They work well on steel braided.. I had a fun time trying to get it to work with Para-flex.. I was able to get it to work, just took a while..
