Stedlin manufacturing is no more. We tried our best but never made a profit. We ceased all our manufacturing operations almost a year ago, and have just been selling off the inventory. I had asked my partners previously if they were interested in having the our products manufactured offshore...

No need to wait. I’ve experienced that many times over the last 50+ years. Luckily the exit orifice wasn’t .291”.

We are no longer producing them as sales have been very limited.

The Milton V is based on the CEJN 320 profile. The design was only intended to be used in safety couplers. The plug bore standard size is 7.4 MM or .291”. In my opinion it’s overkill for air systems using 1/4” NPT connections. It shouldn’t be used in non safety couplers. I lost all the...

End mill chatter. Unexpected sudden blasts of compressed air.

That price is less than that I would have to pay for the brass to make them. Last I heard they were made in Taiwan.

All oilless air compressors use reed valves. If yours are leaking it could easily explain the problem.

Check the reed valves?

Thanks guys. I’ll relay your customer service comments to Deb. By the way, we occasionally get requests to exchange male quiet plugs that are part of a kit with full flow plugs. We are happy to do it. Just request it as part of the order.

How can it have brushes if it has capacitors? If it has brushes than it must be DC. If it has caps than it must be AC.

I used plain old brass industrial 1/4” couplers similar to the Milton 715 for well over 30 years in a manufacturing environment. Only had an issue with flow a few times. When I did I eliminated the coupler. They are however very flow restrictive, leak prone and can be a pain to connect. They...

It seems that the OD specs for sockets are much tighter for hex screws in counterbores. If there are no recessed hex screws than the sockets can be quite a bit larger. The only hex head screws I recall seeing in a counterbore was on an air compressor so I don’t think it’s very common.

Referring to this ASME spec: The very first size I examined has a discrepancy. 11 mm and 7/16 only differ by .0045” yet the max diameter nut end is .683” for the 7/16” and 16.75mm (.659”) for the 11 mm. .024” difference?

I seem to have misplaced my copy of the Machinery's handbook 16th edition that I got new in 1972. I'm sure it's around here somewhere unless of course I let someone borrow it. I have been able to revise my design and make it work within the specification so I'm very excited about that. Thanks...

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much.
