View Full Version : Alternitive vac pipe connectors
I found the T peice on the vac pipe broken and although have got new bits in a box coundnt be arsed to go through all the boxes to find it but had some small Hozlock T pieces from a micro bore watering system for the greenhouse .I pushed on 3 pieces of the tubing onto the Tpiece then pushed the vac pipes into these.The vac pipes are not as a tight fit so put a sealent round the pipe to make them air tight and seam to be working ok .

Funny ive used watering system stuff before aswell!
Im trying to make a plant food feeder for my system using copper brake pipe and central heating pipe! Not working yet though
As pointed out to me this fix may not last due to the heat but we will see;);)

Just an update.it is over a year now and the Hozelock connectors used are still working perfectly ok with no signs of the heat affecting the plastic.:D
