If I'm not mistaken, most building codes require 6 for 50amp.

So just to at least try and make sure you have correct information.... One of the differences with the Parker stuff is that you can very reliably know EXACTLY what fittings you need before you ever start. Why? Because you need zero unions. Ever. And because minor bends and radiuses do not...

Torque, I have yet to see you post a single fact or evidence. Only throw around how many centuries of experience you have. If you're going to repeatedly state that manufacturers of products have it all wrong and you know better than anyone how terrible glass bead nylon is or even plastic...

Dumb a$$ statement. So you're lumping nylon and other non-metallic materials in with PVC? Really? Iron was used to manufacture heads since the dawn of time. Are you still running iron flathead engines in your daily driver? Slide rules were used for engineering since the dawn of time. Did...

won't work on the 6 pots. In particular, I can assure you in won't work on Wilwood Superlite 6R 6 pots. And you SURE don't want to be prying against that powdercoated billet aluminum OR cocking the pistons in those. A single caliper replacement will cost more than all brake components...

Those are the tools I use also. Question - are you having any issues with the dies from your Mastercool wearing a bit? I've gone through a couple 3/16" dies. These are the double flare and not the 37 degree. I'm guessing there's far less wear likely to be caused when doing 37 degree single...

Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more. Please elaborate on your experience in installing, bending and flaring stainless.... And resolving them at 1600psi without leaks.

Not the stuff I bend. First of all, to the best of my knowledge Swagelock doesnt' even make a 3/16" tubing bender. 1/4" is the smallest. High performance racing brake systems require 3/16" in many cases and strongly recommend against anything larger diameter. Second, it's not really just...

Not so fast, Batman. I'm runing 6 piston forged non-floating calipers on one car. Each side has 3 progressive sized pistons and one pad. Your solution flat doesn't work. Period.

If you want to cure your enjoyment of bending and flaring lines, do some stainless :( I've got the mastercool hydraulic flare setup but even using seamless thin wall stainless 3/16" line, it is a massive PITA.

So you'll have spent about $100 more than I did, and I ran 150 feet, with 7 drops. In all fairness, it's only 1/2" but for my needs that is not even remotely a factor. Every one of my drops has a valved water drain. Just saying. It took me 4 hours to do all of mine. 4 garage bays, 150+...

For Rapidair Parker is the manufacturer of all of the plastic fittings. Their name is proudly molded right into each and every one. I believe Transair is a Parker company. Simply one of the brands of Parker Legris.

Torque, I just totally disagree with your position. Pretty much completely. First you say non-metal stuff is OK in large commercial shops because they have conditioned air so it isn't a problem - and it isn't a problem in more "home shops" because of "less frequent use". So where IS it a...

Please provide your specific technical basis for this statement. In exactly what manner are these specific products lacking "the correct properties" - other than the obvious just not meeting your particular likes. I ask this as I have yet to see any modern manufacturing facility using anything...

My post about rapidair nylon wasn't. It isn't PVC. It is very safe.

After having done both black pipe and copper, this last time I used Rapidair nylon. Cost is actually pretty reasonable, installs very easy, drain valves, and no worries about rust.

Guys, just got an IR2135TiMax gun. Bought it new for $249 delivered. I was kind of expecting some maintenance instructions with it, but... What I got was a nicely packed gun, with some marketing info, a warranty card that only said to go to their website, and a bunch of safety information...

I would also be interested in a metric and SAE set of both coarse and fine threads. No dies, right?

Jims, and Georges is where I get mine. I start with Georges. Stuff like cam bearing tools, etc.

You know what I'm talking about. The table, scissor legs and wheel vice really can't wear out. Only wear items would be seals in the cylinder and casters, which I could adapt. If handy can't make money building them, I sure can't
