Replacing a Slow Tub Filler with a "Fire Hydrant"!
Просмотров 25921 день назад
After living for several years with a faucet that took an entire 20 minutes to fill the bathtub (#firstworldproblems) a stay at a high-end hotel with a ridiculously high-volume tub filler prompted me to replace mine. This one from Newport Brass is rated at 22gpm and fills the tub in 4 minutes!
Central Vacuum Glues Itself To The Wall!

As a teenager, during the first year or two of my vacuum store career, the Royal Power Tank was still available, and I sold a handful of them. One of the demonstrations to show the amount of suction this machine had was to remove the front end bell, turn the unit on, and stick it to a wall, where it would hang indefinitely. I discovered in my parents' basement that this would also work with a c...

    • @owenperkins
      @owenperkins День назад

      They are sort of hard to come by, as even many Hoover and Electrolux systems were installed with non-branded inlets. Then of course, there's the issue of finding them 25 years later, unbroken and not painted over. Other than that, it will vary by region. Around here, it's far easier to find, say, Filtex inlets than Hoover or Lux ones, but in many parts of the country, Filtex systems are virtually nonexistent.

    I remember a friend of mine wanted a 100hz TV because of the 100Hz. I asked him what frequency his current TV used. He read the manual. It was 100Hz, it just didn't say so on the box it came in because nobody cared until one company started advertising with it. Selling is mostly "being creative with the truth" Yes this vacuum can stick itself to a wall, what you don't mention is that any vacuum can lift a car if it can make a good enough seal on a large enough area. This trick means exactly nothing for how good the vacuuming is, but people will be impressed and want to own this super vacuum that is in no way better than the one they already own.

      @YoumuHoover I mean, I guess if you have a vacuum with plugged up filters and such, but if you had a good enough seal, you could probably do it with most vacuums. Then again, I've never tested it out myself, as I don't have that bowling ball attachment (though i kind of wish i did), nor a bowling ball to test it out with.

      The tubing needs to be rerouted/extended so the hose can retract...difficulty really depends on how accessible the existing vacuum tubing is. Houses with attic and basement access above/below the living areas are the easiest.

      @owenperkins There are few things that I despise deeply my in life, but automatic toilet sensors are one of them. Those horrible things have made using public restrooms a living nightmare for me, and the only reason they exist is because people are too lazy to flush a toilet. I'd rather witness and smell the most vile unflushed toilet than deal with one of those horrendous things.

    I ended up using your video to review the process - while I fixed it. It's a good job your presentation - and yes soldering is very tricky but I was able to do it with a very fine tinning - it's possible - I emphasise always making long enough strands to work with and the rings put on first before the slider clips. I broke one plastic ring - but it appears they have a seam - easy to glue it back. Now we are pro at this procedure ! LOL
