  • python adapter broke

    The top part of the green plastic adapter broke on me earlier. Has this happened to anyone else? Would getting a machine shop to make the entire green plastic adapter out of aluminium work?

                garden hose end has the cone contraption?

                the part that broke off is what increases pressure to create the "siphon" function in the python "T".

                  Good Point! It wouldn't be too hard to rig something though.

                    I've seen the python T's somewhere cheaper... having a hard time remembering where though.

                    I know back then I was able to use the fitting from a waterbed kit that I got from Wal-Mart but not sure if they still sell that stuff.

                      Ek is right. I have one some place around here but have never used it.

                          Excellent & looking good! Are you able to still pull enough pressure without the cone reducer in place, or did you put something in there to increase flow?
