A little job fitted today, was asked to tidy up this pipework, its for filling a tank which is actually the other side of the machine, the pipe drops around 4 mtrs from the ceiling to the valve then the flex is kicking around the floor, the customers original plan was for me to extend the pipework at ceiling height, Clambering about at height sounded like hard work, so I had other ideas,
So first make up some nice shiny bits, a support frame, 1" pipe work and a new valve, and a nozzle and bracket.
They don't want me to weld on the machine so, the support fame is made to clamp on using these handy brackets
The down-pipe had to be shortened and a new RJT liner welded on, the machine is fed via an pneumatic pump which shakes the pipework a bit, and the machine is a bit lively too when running, so a short length of flex to join it up will absorb the vibration,
A simple nozzle to finish it off, with a bracket to hang it from
And a hook in bracket fitted to the tank to hold the nozzle for hands free filling
