Can You Adapt?...

... as in plumbing fittings

I'm adding APO to the old Mytee machine I use as a test bed. I wanted to tuck the Flojet 4.8 GPM pump right up against the bottom of the waste tank to maximize space, but the plumbing was a nightmare - tank bulkhead, hose barb, tubing, hose barb - it all took up too much space, and the routing was horrible. So I turned a new fitting on the lathe that combines an O-ring sealed tank bulkhead with the pump quick-connect. The pump will now fit within an inch of the tank bottom, out of the way of everything, and no tools needed to disconnect the pump!

I know it's just a piece of brass, but I was pleased with how it turned out.

Dan, That is craftsmanship. You must have been a machinist in the past. :?:

That's what I thought also. Great workmanship!

Thanks guys. My father-in-law was a machinist his whole career. I've been tinkering with it for years but never made my living from machine work. We'll see how it goes once I get it installed in the machine!
