Can't speak for him, but I'm yet to hear back from emails I've recently sent.

Just be glad u didn't try ordering a bulk deal of 35 860w cmh bulbs from ebay...basically got a box of broken glass =\

Mail is always slow right around the holidays.

They never took a payment from me, just sent an invoice and then broke of communication. Does anyone have specs on one of these? I could just pay a machine shop to make one although the cost will surely be much higher I'm just over running filter plates.

I would happily show you how I did it, but am currently in arbitration over who owns the design. It is however a simple design, so suggest that you simply look at the filter sock and what is required to stuff it in a 6" sanitary spool.

I used a 4" X 8" filter sock with the plastic seal ring at the top, which I stuck through a hole in a plate welded near the top of the spool. The plate had a clearance hole for the filter and groove with a ridge around the top machined in it, for the plastic seal ring to sit on.

I then held it in place with the 6" end cap lid, which I welded a 2" triclamp ferrule in the center of. I put the exit 2" triclamp ferrule in the bottom end cap. Both lids are held on with SSH clamps, so as to meet ASME 350 psi pressure requirements for LPG pressure piping.

Got everything but am a little confused by the last paragraph. So you didn't use a 6" to 2" reducer but rather a 6" lid with a hole drilled thru to allow you to weld a 2" ferule to? I've seen the CAD drawings you've posted before, is it the same design as those? On those I noticed you also put a ring w a groove on the top lid as well to hold the filter down.

It arrived last friday. I don't believe they charged me for the expedited shipping, and they threw in a couple extra sock filters for the wait. All in all, they handled it in a timely manner...but i kinda nagged them to get on it.

I ended up putting a 4" teflon seal on top of the sock and it fits snug in the collar. My concern was liquid making its way around the edge of the filter/collar.

It is working as intended. Glacier supply clamps, obrien? cap reducer...was pretty dirty. Came with one wonky clamp i swapped out.

Thank you, GW, for the suggestion.

Somehow figured there were some legal matters involved with this part...

I take it your referring to the sock filters w/ flange? I believe I've seen one with a ptfe flange...

You can use a premade 2" to 6" end cap reducer. I just made my own.

Yup, that was my design. Lots of ways to skin a duck billed platypus.

Glad it worked out. Some journeys end up with extra steps.........
