Actual CFM Testing w/Single & Dual Wands

[Larry Cobb]

12 Brass fittings and the Chrome SS manifold in the center.

It does allow height & spray width adjustment.

Many of the new wands, like the Pro Ti allow adjustments to height . . .

and end jet placement for allowing either a dry or wet edge.

Great marketers turn "flaws into features". This gives Larry a LOT to work with.

Old design Bentley @ $449 with modified jet assembly and titanium tube.

----------------------------------
or . . .
New design Bentley @ $699 with new jet assembly in a couple of weeks.

The one Lockhart broke was a rapid prototype, to show concept at ICE.

P.S. We asked Maison to bring a Ti wand, and Ray talked to Lockhart about one also.

So will there be a retro fit for us that have the old style?
Will this new manifold do a better job of not streaking the carpet? (need to run the old manifold at about 300 psi in order to not streak carpet)

Just who in the hell designed that wand with not even thinking about the spray bar?
Could that head actually be some sort of vacuum head from a commercial vacuum like a NSS PIG VAC?
They used a swivel head and a hose connected to a pull along vacuum.

And why not just redesign the head?

James it is made so you can eaily get replacement parts at any ACE hardware.

Mine started as a stock manifold, in stainless steel. Still streaked like a mug and cleaned unevenly.

The jet spacing and aim were originally skewed beyond "adjustment". Jason and Justin hacked it apart and after measuring, welded it back together correctly.

To manufacture it correctly several cutting and welding JIGS need to be used to make large quantities identically. Justin could make many dozens of them in a day.

I can clean well with it at up to 800 psi, which would have been impossible before.

whats their moto?

a 100 times better in 18 bends?
1 time tested in worth a wand in the?
1000 times the price of brass in china?
A well washed baseboard is worth two in the bush?
No better yet but someday good enough?

You didn't count a couple of reducers and close nipples. on each side.

Since we designed it, I think we have a good count on the parts.

The street elbows eliminate a couple of nipples. No reducers.
