<p>Wait the drain hole is threaded? ****, the deezums drain wont fit. That hole is smooth.</p>

No drain hole is plain. Thread dimensions are for the top where the bowl screws in.

<p>Ok thats what I though. No way the bowl is M10.</p>

I'm confused, I thought you had bought ones with the little schrader valve looking thing for the drain, those are threaded in?

aidandj

iTrader: (5)

**** got confusing real fast. That bowl looks exactly the same as the one I have. I wonder if the filters are actually any different, or if its all bullshit.

deezums

iTrader: (3)

That is this, right?



I'm so confused, what are we trying to do here?

hi_im_sean

iTrader: (3)

youre both over thinking this

hi_im_sean

iTrader: (3)

yes, thats the one.

Im just installing some catch cans, aidan asked for measurements, no idea what hes trying to do.

I thought we were sizing a drain plug for that shrader thingie.

So how are you holding it closed? It looks like an auto vent one, does that spring push the drain plunger open when there's no pressure in the bowl?

hi_im_sean

iTrader: (3)

yup


tada!




flipped the spring to the outside, and found a circlip that fit the barb fitting. if its not enough spring pressure, I can move the clip to the next barb.

I sucked on it as hard as I could and it didnt pull the spring open, but to be sure, we really need aidan to suck on it.

I wanted to put my drain thingy on it.
<br />Trying different can because that other guy got a lot more junk when he ran the other can.

greeenteeee

That looks like a good solution swapping the spring. All I did was use two rubber washers to pull down on the barb, compressing the O ring. The E clip and washers pull the barb-like drain out and seals it.

Edit: Aidan don't you have the HUSKY unit? Not sure how the newer ones are built, but the PrimeFit filter uses a Philips to secure it and my old old (pre-2008) HUSKY unit's filter was threaded on by itself.

<p>I do have the husky unit, I'm curious if the filter is actually different, or just marketing lies</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Get a real good close up of the element. 5 vs 40 should be evident.

aidandj

iTrader: (5)

<p>look up a couple pics. might not be close enough. lemme see what i can do. nvm. phone sucks.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
