Sink Adapter

[TwoHobbies]

Everyone must have this problem. I think I'm on my forth, or fifth one of these. They always seem to break in the same place.

So I purchased some parts and am going to design my own....hope it works.

Good luck, if it works, you can make me one. :)

Let us know how it goes.

[black hills tj]

I haven't broken mine yet?

Looks like that will be a lifetime adapter alright, but it seems there must be a lot of sideways stress being put on your Python adapter, is your hose a little short ??? I couldnt see how that rig could recreate the venturi action that Python uses.

I think I broke one a long time ago too. Plus I find the plastic threads lose the battle with the brass threads over time as well. I will be interested to see how you make out with this project.

Tagging along...DIY projects are fun,,

While I believe I was able to get a funnel shape on the inside pipe the outside pipe is not a funnel shape.

In any case the design didn't work, so back to the drawing board on this one.

You may need to hunt for it but you shuld be able to find venturi valves made of metal.

It is used for industrial purposes too, and that means overbuilt and chemical resistant.

I just replaced mine for the fourth time with the same broken part as you.:(

Any progress?

[TwoHobbies]

No, none Aquagirl. I actually put this on the back burner after the FAIL, and got sidetracked setting up a couple more shrimp tanks. :whistle:

[gogators1088]

if they have so many issues with them why cant they do something about it, or can you call and have them send you a new one?

[paulywog0667]

so about these shrimp Al! how they doing?

[TwoHobbies]

There are no shrimp here Paul. These tanks are empty.

[paulywog0667]

There are no shrimp here Paul. These tanks are empty.
what do you mean? what happened to all your shrimp?

[TwoHobbies]

Oh, thought you were talking about the tanks I mentioned in this thread. All the others are doing fine.
