I forgot a ball valve at the very top of the over flow tube, but without any guidance I think this is the best way assembled...

unless your running those ovens and edwards in different locations this would have saved you a lot of doe, a kf-25 four way cross, with ball valves and 3/8" jic. I replaced all ovens ports with jic....

Wuna sell an edwards ;)

Haha! You are the man! Talk about saving money this guy had me pick up 20 gallons of oil at 600 when the machines seemed to only use one! Where are you located? Maybe you could throws some tips on running and I can hook it up with a cheap e pump
 
Permaculture, was that the flood line which you installed without a ball valve? Thoughts behind that?

And how did you like the view ports that close together?

I know whey aren't your machines, but no pain in asking.

It was the over flow valve, that would allow for top flush....

View port was fine, wish there would have been two so I could have a better opinion ;)

I could always mail it. I paid 900 for it. If you wanna throw shipping I'll give it to you at cost. Still in the wooden box and everything, lol. I know it's a hike to sac.

So I'm trying to pressure test it and I have the handivac. Now I'm checking for suction pressure correct? So it would be on the inlet?

Pressure test with positive pressure. It easier to do sections at a time. Then pull vac on whole system and see if it holds. You can utilize the output of your appion or reftec if u don't have an air compressor handy.

Won't let me pm not sure if it's from my phone or why. Question about the Edwards and AI oven though. I have it set up and the pump runs but it shits off at 18hg and won't come on until I release it. Any idea?

Which edwards exactly e2m30? Pretty sure that should be pulling all the way. Were they dual voltage pumps? I don't think that's your problem.

E2m30. It sounds like a motorcycle stopped at idle. It gradually revs up but comes to a stop for a good minute or two then turns back on then stops. I hooked it up to my 40 amp box outlet that powers 12 lights and same issue.

Can I recommend you don't dab and are 100% sober when running a cls, it is a simple thing to run but a fuck up while your baked could lead to lb's of solvent leaked into wherever your standing.
Converting a wire from 220 to 110 to run your pump sounds sketch. Keep in mind what your doing eh.

I'll heed your advice. And were not switching anything. I have a converter plug from a 1000 a ballast that reduces 220 to 110v. But the pump doesn't do one continuous vacuum. It starts and stops and putts around. Usually pulling 5hg per time.

When the vacuum release valve is open it pumps at full force. But when I close it I'm order for vacuum pressure to be created that's when It putters.
