OOOPS I think I should correct the first description as Hydraulic not pneumatic my bad. There was at one time hydraulic fluid in the chamber with a piston sealed by an O ring. Trigger moves fluid like a brake master cylinder. I never used it so I can't really speak from experience. There is also...

I got enough O rings to pick from and I'll try to measure the broken up "piston ring" flat O ring and see what they have. Thanks Terry

I have this pneumatic hand rivet gun that needs a re-build. Anyone have any info about it. The O rings a flat OD O ring (piston seal) and a rear cap gasket are there any available parts available or just try to fit what I might have around the shop? What type and amount of hydraulic fluid would...

Done! stronger than the last one.

Good info, I figured in my limited venting experience that from the side would make it easy. But from what you all helped me realize is the vent first allows positive pressure ahead of the flow to escape and after the flow passes the vent allows for vacuum release. Probably would work at a side...

Thanks, top venting it is. It is a tight space but I'll have to make it work. I figured the venting would not like material flowing past the opening but I'm not all too experienced at dwv technicalities. Thanks all firming this up. Terry

Hi all, Maybe a quick question about venting. I have a horizontal 3" main drain in a crawl space that I need to add to and change a sanitary T to a 45. I am moving a toilet, sink and shower and was not the best venting to begin with. Does it matter if the new venting exhausts thru the side or...

Thank you for this bit of direction. I agree the flowing product doesn't mind what water slide to ride. It is also correct that whatever I do should be able to pass visual inspection in the future. I recently sold my house of 40 years and when a buyer is close t the deal is not the time to panic...

This is my first round with ABS. My last home everything was PVC and is why I have a small lot of fittings. I moved them here and would like to use them up. I'm going to push a few together and see how the IDs line up. If it stays as a smooth bore I' mixing them up using the correct glue. As...

Thanks all for getting back to me, my last big box trip there wasn't much ABS on the shelf but lots of PVC. I do have a good bunch of PVC fitting from my last home which would be nice to use up. My thought is there any issue with the flow of solids from the transition of one material to the...

Hey all, I need to do some drain and vent work in a bathroom. I have a supply of PVC drain pipes that I would like to use. The existing DWV system in there is ABS. Just for general info what is the difference or advantage of one over the other? I know there is the glue that can be used on either...

I just checked the fittings and they are marked 316. So it seems I should be ok. Sawyer

Thanks guys, I am using them to install a descaling filter for my new yet to be installed water heater. The instructions don't like copper in the mix, everything from my well pump to the pvc leading into the house is already brass. An old project I did had left me a small collection of brass...

Quick question I have a plumbing project coming up and have a surplus of 3/4" brass and stainless steel fittings. Can these be interchanged and attached to each other. My thought is being dissimilar metals will there be any reaction? Thanks Sawyer

I had a Sommer brand side rail opener installed. It is a DC motor and very silent. Has been in service about 8 years and no issues. Second bay last year had their top rail installed, but will not help with your headspace. If I had this on an attached garage and use plastic wheel it would be...
