I bought a similar "Kit" on Amazon, the shut off valves and aluminum blocks appear to be the same, as pictured in this video. Said blocks and valves have STRAIGHT treads, not PIPE thread as the NORMAL, standard practice for threaded together pipe and fittings. PIPE thread is tapered, so it snugs up and seals(with a LITTLE pipe sealant (Dope) or Teflon tape. STRAIGHT thread do NOT have this sealing capability. I ask the Seller "Rapid Air Products", "Are all fittings, valves and aluminum Blocks machined to proper NPT (National Pipe Thread)"? IF I buy a it and find STRAIGHT threaded fittings, etc, or I am not satisfied, will I get a full refund, including shipping both ways? THANK YOU, Michael
Please save and share the clip of how to make the wire collector، what parts have been done during construction؟ Is it suitable for cable size 2*4 with a length of 300 meters or by using drills، pulleys and gears that can turn the pulley؟
They need to include this straightener with the kit because if you install the kit without the straightener it looks like shit. Another thing they are cheaping out on us with the straightener because it shows in the video it having aluminum rollers and when it arrives it has CHEAP PLASTIC ws on it. 😡
We buy RapidAir Products....cool to hear the story Andy! Now I'm going to buy some more monitors so I have 4 like y'all. Haha. So frustrating when you don't have enough screen space with a bunch of pages open (QuickBooks, PDFs, Outlook, Excel, etc.)
You show a 90° bend on what sounds like the aluminum tubing, which's also mentioned in the description, yet the instructions say "to a maximum of 15° DO NOT OVERBEND" I wanted to do two 45°s, yet don't want to ruin the pipe...so which is correct!?
Dude, while I am very happy that you addressed the siphon question, what really impressed me was your mad drone skills getting through the trees down to the creek! WOW! Also, 2 other things: My experience has been that anything metal left out for an entire season is almost always seized up and corroded together when it comes time to disassemble it. I grew up hating "cheap plastic parts", but over the decades, plastic has become my best friend. True, some things have to be metal, but I now avoid it unless there is no other choice. Next, I don't know if you caught it in my comments in the previous video, but the ram pump can be used to automatically prime and reprime the siphon, by installing a one way flow valve in parallel with the entire ram pump assembly. And while we're at it, a toilet bowl or stock tank type of float could be used to throttle the siphon to make sure it never overflows the pond. Or, a simple valve could be used (much more reliable).
I had a seal give out on this unit within a couple of months. I replaced the seal and it's good to go now. The only thing that I don't like about this unit is the gauge is too small to see from a short distance. If it wasn't for that I would buy one. The first one I got was given to me.
Looks like a great product but for the money I shouldn't have to be bending pipe straight and how long will that PLASTIC pipe hold up for. I like the hard aluminum pipe better, just my opinion. Maybe if the price was a little lower I would jump on it.
That was my old shop , when I moved to new shop on 2019 I was able to use all the pipe and fittings again , and had to order a few lengths of pipe and some fitting since new shop is 2800 sq ft larger.
He never let the unit run to the programmed pressure to show how it turns off. It can't turn the compressor off so does it just shut a valve to prevent more air from passing?
Looking for something like this but this unit is $200. My small cigarette lighter air compressor can shut off at required pressure. Wanted air compressor tool so it would do it quicker but wow, $200 is too steep.
Bullshit, the corect presure is shown in the manual and not on the tire or on the b-pillar of each car.. do not fall for the crap this idiot puts out. The manufacturer of the vehicle will give you the correct tire pressur..OH usa...
Amusing how manufacturers seem to overlook all the difficulties built into their systems and show the installation as 1 2 3. In this case the coil line at 3/4" inch is extremely extremely difficult to straighten (to which they want to sell you a one time use $158 tool!!) and the fittings are a challenge to assemble to the pipe even with lubricant (I used conduit lube) requiring more force than hand gripping the pipe will provide to push the pipe into the fitting. I do observe that they have come out with straight pipe sections later to address the piping problem. These do not distort the pipe id like the coil line does (and yes I used the 'tool' to debur and dimension the id). The fittings are extraordinarily expensive as well. The kits do not include enough drops for 100' of run in a normal shop so you have to buy quite a few more fittings more than doubling the price of the 'Kit'. This would seem a ripe opportunity for competitors. The tubing looks like the same Pex makes for heated floor runs with the aluminum lining. It is not a standard size though so I am assuming it is metric. Buying the standard size Pex heat pipe and using generic shark bite fittings will bring the cost down considerably.
This shows a tool that appears to have aluminum wheels. The web site shows a tool with black wheels that look like they are plastic and Amazon has several reviews that mention plastic and broken wheels. Has the tool been cheapened since this video was made?
there are a lot of people that inflate tires to the sidewall pressure instead of the vehicle recommended setting on the sticker at the driver's door ...
@@bretfry6205 If you are going to sell a tire product, you should know something about tires! I have had dealers inflate to ‘side wall max pressure.’ I thought there was something terribly wrong with my car.
Will this deflate tires as well, I am a agriculture mechanic, tractors ship to use at 40psi, but need to be drained to 12psi will this work backwards as well?
Okay so WHERE do I buy this straightener ? I installed the 3/4 system in my shop and HATE, HATE , HATE the look ! I have been considering replacing it with 3/4” copper pipe !
I just priced out a system using 3/4” copper and one using 3/4” Maxline. The costs are nearly identical with the Maxline being slightly more expensive. My concern isn’t so much looks as it is installation ease. I will be installing my main loop near the ceiling and my workshop walls are 14’ high. It looks like trying to straighten 3/4” Maxline and then get it into position 14’ off the ground will be a real challenge. The copper pipe will go up 10’ at a time or probably 20’ as I likely would solder a coupler between two pieces and then lift a manageable 20’ piece into position so I could do more soldering on the floor rather than on a ladder. It looks like copper will be much easier to install, will look good, will cost about the same and likely will last at least as long. Still debating.
