I had one saved on Amazon but apparently the seller doesn’t offer them anymore
I’m sure I have it somewhere but send me your address again and I’ll send you some. I misunderstood what you were asking. I’ve got a bin fill of them
That hex wears down smooth pretty quickly is you don’t zip tie a piece of old fire hose over it, or a short piece of garden hose. I gave up on that because it never stayed in place. Just keep a pipe wrench or vice grips on the truck and hope for the best.
i think it’s a union you want @DisplacedTexan
I had a few in a collection of stuff I bought from a guy going out of business and I have no idea what I did with them. Are the ones you use stainless?
Yes, but I’ve used brass and they lasted just as long. The house goes before the union does and I replace the union then
Yep. Simple to take apart in the field if you need
Google search 3/8" FNPT Hex Coupling broski
Thanks Dez! My Google fu is weak I guess because I was googling 3/8" double female coupler and was definitely not getting those results.
Also, $18 for a SS coupler seems like highway robbery.
They will both last the same amount of time
Grainger is awesome!.. for finding what it is I’m looking for, and looking up details/specs/etc. Don’t think I’ve bought a single thing from them at those prices though
Yep, I don’t buy from them. If my guy doesn’t have it, either I don’t need it or he will get it for me.
We’re not so fortunate in terms of a local shop/dealer… I don’t grab much there either, unless it’s pressing. They had one of our old machines for 3 months when I started here. Couldn’t tell us anything, so I had them just send it back to me for parts. Had a local private shop guy take it to scavenge parts to repair another unit, and all it needed was a new valve spring…
Makes me not trust them for much of anything…
I wouldn’t have started this business if I didn’t have local support.
Back to your original question, couldn’t you just bolt down an unloader block & add some QC’s?
I believe he’s wanting a “stand off” to avoid a right angle. I could make him something
But I’m busy so here’s what he should do. Remote mount the unloader via whip hose. Bypass through the unloader block, run straight through the unloader. On/Off Quick couple off the unloader
Or, just pull off however much hose you need, lock the reel and wash.
To be fair, the internet wasn’t a thing when you started
He’s got electric, doesn’t even have to lock, lol.
Why are you even considering anyway?
