Im working on the IC 69 right now just waiting on compression fittings to ship. Can anyone post up a link for the larger hoses? Do they come with 1/4 flare or do I need reducers? Thanks for the help peeps.

If we are using a pump with 1/4" SAE connections, we use a 1/4" X 1/2" SAE flare adapter at the pump, and use dual seated 1/2" JIC hoses, with a copper flare washer.

Sorry for the newbie question, bit I'm finally going to make the jump and purchase a closed loop system... about how much money do u think I will have to invest initially? I'm going to go with the terpinator mk iv, about how much money am I going to have to sink in to get up and running? I was thinking about 15 grand for the system, pumps, oven, solvents, etc... is that wishful thinking? Also, I'm in portland , and I think I've seen u (grey wolf) post about a company offering classes/support . Is that the case? Thanks

$15k is probably pretty close for outfitting an MKiv. Depends on how nice your toys are. We got our Mkiii running with add ons for 5k, but that was without vacuum ovens. You can spend from 6k-10k on a vacuum oven depending on the quality. So I'd say 15k is a decent estimate. What type of pump are you planning to use?

I really don't know. I'm interested in a haskel of course, but that would put me well over 15k with the oven and and all. Are the cemp oil less pumps performing well? Do people even use/admit to using an appion anymore? I would definitely rather buy the one, as opposed to slowly upgrading as I break them...

Mk IV biflow diagram attached:

The IC Mag manage attachment button appears to be dead, so you will have to wait for the diagram.

I would upgrade to 3/8" valves and tubing. You can bush up from 1/4" at the Terpenator and run 3/8" lines on everything. You can get the bushings and ball valves at Paramount.

You can get new 3/8" compression fittings there as well, or from Swageloc.

Optionally you can switch to 3/8" stainless overbraided PTFE hoses, with stainless JIC fittings, which we get from Associated Hose, Motion and Flow, or Unisource.
