    Valve Brackets & Coupling

    I'm coming back from the dead to post. A few years ago I decided to remove my threaded valves and install Pneumatic valves. I actually came across the exact same issue after purchasing 5 butterfly valves with no handles (ebay) and pneumatic actuators. I think you will have to fabricate these...

    Pool pump for CIP?

    My insane 25 Gal, 100 Percent Hard Plumbed Tri-Clover, Automated Tippy Build

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/JAMESBURY-VPVL200-DA-B-C-ACTUATOR-/121386110211?hash=item1c432d0d03:g:VakAAOSwEK9TxCJi I purchased the first 5 and they look great. For the price it was worth the gamble. I haven't hooked them up or tested them yet, but should be fine.

    Chugger pumps...impeller seizing?

    Sadly this happens even when I'm moving strike water on a bottom drain kettle. I wonder if 25 gallons of water on a bottom drain is to much force for these?

    Super Simple 15G Plastic Conical

    Thats pretty annoying that they screw into the tank exposing the ends. I was thinking about sinking these fittings into the lip if it was thick. But I guess not. Thank you for looking into this.

    Super Simple 15G Plastic Conical

    I have a few questions maybe some one can please help answer. When they installed the threaded black lid with screws, did they drill all the way through so the screw goes into the tank? How deep is the lip where the lid attaches to? I was thinking about making another lid and installing...

    I was thinking about removing my counterflow and building one using 3/8 straight tubing, and 2"x 3 ft stainless spool. I did the math and I can get about 13 rods in a 2" spool. giving me 39' of chilling capacity. But it also seems like a pain in the ass. The one thing I am worried about is how...
