Do you know what size you bought? Rico. |

Rico - I used the Danco #17's (1-1/16" OD x 7/8" ID x 3/32") and they didn't fit until I cut the grooves...

wlagarde... one last question... What are you using for lubrication?
|
#32
|
|||
|
|||
Waterproof grease...also, I cut only 2 O-ring grooves and thus I am using only 2 O-rings. Have fun and let us know how your project comes out!

ok -- I have read all this stuff and even tried the patent office search. That came up empty.
wlagarde, Dou you have a pic of the pipes and how they connect? I have it all figured out except how the pipes work together. I have come up with what I think might work but it does not jive with any pics I have seen.

I found the lubricant that I need at Grainger.
http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/pro...786975&ccitem= Can anyone tell me where to get the metal plating? Rico |

Here's a link that describes the details of how the pipes fit together: http://pages.infinit.net/lambertv/pages/index.htm. Go to the "projects: link on the left and then the "aquagate repair" link on the left. If this is not clear, I will disassemble mine and take pics this weekend and post them...

You can get aluminum stock at home depot and brass stock at your local hobby store (Hungate's here in NC)

All of you are using the wrong motor. Especially stay away from the Digi-key motors. You need to just buy a charbroil rotiseri at lowes for $20 and take the motor and switch out of it. All of the motors listed are way to whimpy and may burn up and catch fire.
The sea swirl company uses a custom made motor just for them and can be purchased for $35 from them only. The closest specs are the charbroil according to the actual maker. Dont want see any one burn down their home Don |

It may suffice. Try this first...although Grainger discontinued the motor used in the project (Grainger item no. 6Z535), your local Grainger branch may have it in stock (this is how I got mine). Use their website to locate the branch nearest to you and call them. Also, if your place of work has an account you can get a significant discount (this is what I did)...

The 20 oz / in is the concern. They get hot and smoke. You should be up in the in /lbs ratings. FYI automotive A/C O-rings are perfect. Most shops or parts stores have assortments. The connecting arm for the belcrank to motor is a draglink arm for a T-max RC truck. A good judge of motor is the shaft size. smaller than 1/4 its pretty much a sure bet that the motor is to small. If you change the setup to two gears you get a cool 360 rotation. T-max drive gears can be converted to fit nicely.

The Charbroil brand is perfect. The Chromed with plastic end drag links wok best because the have a ball and socket joint like a car. Its also best not to use any metal in the enclosure as it will corrode quickly. The links made by t-max will not corrode.
Hope this make it a little easier Don |

The Hurst motor (Grainger 6Z535) is rated at 9.5 inch pounds and is small enough to fit in the Serpac case. It is cheap (if you have access to a Grainger account) and from my experience runs cool and thus far operates flawlessly on my unit...

Cool my bad, that would be a good motor if you could find one. Has amost exactly the same specs as the charbroil. Have you tried it on a 1" or a 1 1/4 model? How much flow are you running?
So far I've been able to hold a seal on a single unit with a mag24 my goal is four 1" on a single mag36. Don |
