https://www.amazon.com/A3015R-Pressure-Outdoor-Washing-Cleaning/dp/B071XNTT9Q

I use one of these and I love it (not this specific one - I bought mine at walmart or somewhere but it looks just like this). It came with two tips - a high-pressure pencil tip (which I promptly lost and never used at all) and a flat spray pattern tip. The flat spray was just the right pressure to wash the car and gave a nice even, easy-to-control pattern. The wand made it easy to spray the roof and other hard-to-reach places. It worked really well for getting inside the spokes of the wheel - the thin wand easily poked into narrow places and got all the soap out really well.

u/mutantj0hn · 19 pointsr/LongFurbies

I bought some coolant pipe hose for the spine and a Furby off eBay. I watched some tutorials on how to longify him but ultimately totally winged it and I think Handsome Jerome turned out wonderfully (see my post history). He is hand sewn and stuffed with inexpensive polyfill. I bought my fabric to make him in person so I could feel it—1/2 yard of the body, 1/4 yard of his belly.

u/Mochaboys · 1 pointr/Multicopter

This took me 5 minutes to put together.

Commercial Version:
hobby creek version

Materials List:

  1. The threaded connector on the hoses is a 1/2"-20 thread. So grab a spade bit or 1/2" bit and drill as many holes as you want into your base.

  2. Don't make the mistake I made and either use a dense hardwood for the weight, or offset the mounting holes further back so it doesn't tip forward.

  3. Insert the coolant hoses and hot glue from the bottom then around the base and let that set

  4. drill the tube openings to the diameter of the alligator clip arm (about 1/4") but make sure it's snug, smaller is better than bigger.

  5. shoot some glue into the tube opening as well as the alligator clip

  6. slide on a tiny piece of heatshrink onto the tube

  7. push the alligator clip into the tube then heat the heatshrink around the connection (I used marine heatshrink which has a built in heat activated adhesive to help this connection)

  8. grab some rubber dots or no slip feet and stick them on the bottom of your base board.

    The amazon link I linked to sells the hoses in packs of 6 so you can make one for yourself and a friend, or do what hobby creek did and fix 4 arms to the base (which in my opinion is a little overkill).

    It's not 100% rigid, but for a $9 build, it's "rigid enough".
u/KarmaBankruptcy · 4 pointsr/BuyItForLife

I've tried a few and settled on Goodyear and Craftsman black rubber hoses, but you should also look at Eley if cost is not a significant factor.

Cheap ones as you say are useless and disposable.

I tried a heavy Swan commercial grade one. It was annoyingly stiff and heavy and kinked hard. It was moderately difficult to kink, but once kinked it stayed permanently kinked. It has one of those impressive sounding, but useless warranties. It has a 10 year warranty, but to claim on it you need not only the receipt but also the packaging the hose came in. I don't know what sort of hoarder you'd need to be to have tucked away last year's garden hose packing.

The black rubber ones are not as hard to kink, but when they do kink you can just shake the kink out and it is not ruined at that spot. They are also not that expensive. Maybe $30 for 50'

I've also got an Eley that I'm very happy with. It's more expensive than the rubber ones, and probably even better. They are $50 for 50' and you will probably have to pay shipping as I don't see them in my local stores. Their hose reels are awesome too.
http://www.eleyhosereels.com/accessory/polyurethane-garden-hose/

I've got 600' or 1000' of hose at a time and sometimes leave them where people will drive over them so decent and not too expensive is the right option for me. If you only need one hose for yard use and put it away when you are finished with it Eley might be a better option for you.

On a related note look at Dramm quick disconnects

u/KaiserW_XBL · 3 pointsr/Kombucha

To be honest, I don’t know, it came with my initial 1gallon beer kit.

Found it here on amazon, also the auto siphon is great.

u/Silverjackal_ · 20 pointsr/lawncare

This is about the same except it goes into the ground. I think it’s better. I have this and 2 in ground rain bird impact sprinklers. Not as convenient as an irrigation system but they work great. Same idea as what you did I think.

u/sniggle_prick · 1 pointr/microgrowery

Sounds like you're describing something like this?

cheers!

u/mar_kelp · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

Odd. This is what I got. Cheap and it works fine.
https://www.amazon.com/Plumbcraft-7507100-Dehumidifier-Drain-Hose/dp/B00KKXUBHY

It is 1/2 rather than the 11/16" recommended in the manual. I suppose a thicker hose would work better, but this is very thin and flexible. I don't have a long run, so I cut it down to the length I needed. Make sure you put in the washer on the end to prevent leaks.

u/texnate · 1 pointr/Homebrewing

I've looked around a bit and it seems like the only ones I can find are all hose thread sized so your easiest option would probably be an adapter like the one I posted above connected to a regular hose quick disconnect.

If it was me I'd probably just use a 3/4 fht x 1/2 mpt pvc adapter to connect a regular garden hose quick connect and on the other side use a 1/2 mpt x whatever size you like barb adapter to connect your silicone tubing to.

u/awayfromdesk · 2 pointsr/aquarium

There is not enough oxygen in the water. Get a bubbler or another filter that can add more oxygen to the water. thats why theyre jumping out.

remember that water temp changes (by a few degrees) is alot for fish. when im changing the temperature from 80 to 76 it takes me about 2 weeks. Its a very slow process. I would recommend getting this, and this . It makes water changes a breeze. The first is a must if you're lugging water. The second is amazing. I use it because i have extremely mineral heavy water and it really works, I've been doing water changes with these for over two years and I haven't had any issues. The advantage of the tap adapter is that you can add hot water until the water temperature reads the same as the water in the tank.

The filter eliminates 99% chlorine. There are other filters that are cheaper but i haven't found another that eliminates chlorine as well. For good measure you can still add half a dose of stress coat +.

u/moduspwnens14 · 1 pointr/lawncare

I'm just outside Pittsburgh and my yard looked a lot like your second picture at the start of the season last year. It's not where I want it yet but it's a whole heck of a lot better now.

  • Front Yard - May 19 2018 - After first watering
  • Front Yard - June 15 2018
  • Front Yard - July 3 2018

    This was before I put much effort / thought / planning into this, but I just used the all-in-one big box store seed (with the fertilizer and stuff mixed in) with a regular broadcast spreader.

    The biggest thing seemed to be watering. Seriously, do yourself a favor and buy one of the cheap battery-operated timers, set it on a timer, and hook it up to a sprinkler. Having the watering done automatically is huge.

    After seeing the results from just one sprinkler, I ended up getting a 1-to-4 hose splitter and 3 more timers / sprinklers to cover more of the yard. Everyone in my neighborhood complains about how tough it is to grow grass, but it really wasn't that hard when the watering is done for you.
u/hatperigee · 3 pointsr/Ultralight

More than a lifetime supply!, enough to share with friends!

u/mindites · 3 pointsr/furby

I bought this ball and socket hose on Amazon. link to hose It's 1/4 inch which turned out to be too small for my long denim furby. I think it would work for a smaller furby with more flexible fabric. I'm looking for something similar that's 3/4 inch or larger if anyone has a link :)

u/djwonderful · 1 pointr/gardening

I would get a second opinion on what I say, I'm in the US for reference.

You can do direct with this adapter:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#73605t82/=11qzyxz

edit: Looks like amazon has it too. http://www.amazon.com/Anderson-Metals-Garden-Fitting-Connector/dp/B000JQJZLU/

Looks like your irrigation kit will attach to your valve directly.

u/petula_75 · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

get a brass nozzle like this and then attach it to a shutoff valve like this to control the flow. will never break.

u/philsredditaccount · 2 pointsr/Homebrewing

An alternative I use so that I don't have to carry 5 gallons of boiling hot liquid down a flight of stairs is this. It's great, you can couple your chiller to your kitchen sink.

u/Droney · 3 pointsr/Homebrewing

I connect my immersion chiller to my kitchen faucet with no issues. Check the faucet in your kitchen... the tip of it should screw off (be careful, as an O-ring or the aerator might fall out when you do this). If it does, you can just go to your local hardware store and get a male-to-male adapter that goes from your kitchen sink's thread size to a garden hose size (or whatever size hose you want).

I use this thing and it's fantastic (also apparently more than twice as expensive in the States as it is here in Germany for some reason? But there's almost certainly something similar wherever you are): http://www.amazon.com/Gardena-36939-G-Indoor-Garden-Connector/dp/B004Y9YHO8/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1463059187&sr=8-7&keywords=gardena+adapter

u/_vektor_ · 1 pointr/3Dprinting

I've been thinking of something like this flexible coolant hose and modeling up a screw on base with mounting holes and a camera holder for the other end.

I've thought of mounting it either on the control case where those random screws are or drilling my own holes on the left side of the vertical support.

u/Nola-Smoke · 1 pointr/Multicopter

THE ZON!

I don't know if people realize this but those arms are used to direct streams of water for a bunch of applications like CNC work.

u/lambammm · 1 pointr/carpetcleaningporn

I got a brass quick connect fitting like that from amazon amazon brass qc

u/doxaholic · 1 pointr/Aquariums

Python hose is nice quality. It seems to stay round and doesn't collapse nor kink like regular clear vinyl hose. Python hose connectors are crap, so I replaced my cracked ones with these 5/8" plastic garden hose fittings.

u/advicevice · 1 pointr/OpenPV

The MDF base board was like $12 at Home Depot, I had them cut it in half. The arms are these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008O14864/ if you didn't see the link. I think the hardware store has gator clips for like $3. I guess with Sparkfun you're really paying for the aluminum base.

u/covati · 3 pointsr/Multicopter

It's because it's actually flexible tubing for coolant: (forgive the mobile paste) Leadingstar GEN09015 Plastic Flexible Water Oil Coolant Pipe Hose, 6-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O14864/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_6bHXKRlBQQs2B

u/ChrisC1234 · 12 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Probably connections for a homemade in-ground sprinkler system. The ends look like this hose quick-connect attachment. And I don't think this one is missing the valve to turn off the water. I think it's a security faucet similar to this one, where you need a key to turn it on and off. I always see them on municipal buildings.

u/m2cwf · 1 pointr/HelpMeFind

Okay, in that case I think this is what you need. Note that this is actually a 1/4" NPT thread on the pressure gauge--frustratingly NPT thread sizes don't match up to any actual measurable dimension on the fitting itself, but for reference the OD of the threads on a 1/4" NPT fitting is about 1/2". Be sure to use teflon tape on the NPT side, as always for tapered threads.

Edit: This is as far as I can tell, anyway, I didn't find something that said specifically the size, but I've used a lot of this size fittings and 1/4" NPT looks right. You can find charts online to find out what the diameter measurements actually are to check against your pressure gauge. I'm surprised this is so hard to find! Seems it would be rather common.

u/Timlad · 1 pointr/Plumbing

probably something like this

or 3/4 if that valve is 3/4

u/Kylex89 · 1 pointr/microgrowery

https://i.imgur.com/kpXJlJB.jpg Thats what I am working with.

Could I just tap into my main house heating system with a T connector or w/e its called and run something like this

u/hairy_testicles · 3 pointsr/arduino

I prefer these, over a gorilla pod, just remove the nozzle, insert a screw into the nozzle, crimp a clamp on it, and go. Similar to the helping hands Hobby Creek sells.

u/schmuckmulligan · 3 pointsr/Ultralight

Yup. Someone recommended these. I just stole one from a little-used hose.

It's night and day.

u/Downvotes_catpics · 1 pointr/fixit

Faucet to 3/4 garden adapter, generally. The aerator on the end of the faucet should thread off. Most do. If yours doesn't, it's either stuck or is one of the rare models that don't have a removable aerator.

u/yboold · 5 pointsr/LongFurbies

i used this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008O14864/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and it was cheaper than the spines sold on ebay! i used 3 out of the 6 so you can make 2 long furbies from this

u/BattleHall · 5 pointsr/AskCulinary

If it's a standard size thread 35lb oil carboy/cubee, you should be able to get a spigot designed for exactly this kind of thing:

http://www.centrafoods.com/blog/the-2-best-ways-to-dispense-a-35-lb.-container-carboy-of-edible-oil

You could also probably just rig it with a cheap condiment pump, though that may be a bit messier if you're not careful:

https://www.katom.com/028-3831063P.html

The simplest option would probably just be to elevate the cubee, get some food grade tubing and one of these valves, and just syphon it.

u/QuantumCabbage · 2 pointsr/arduino

They are basically slightly modified flexible coolant pipes with crocodile clips screwed in the tips. If you're on a tight budget you can buld the thing using very cheap components instead of splurging for the finished product.

u/Zahmbie209 · 2 pointsr/lawncare

I have these:
Dramm 22729 Heavy-Duty Quick Disconnect Brass https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002J0PMOS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6JKgzbQSC5ACH

Pricey, but I have beat the crap out of them for 3 years. Zero leaks. Always work as expected.
