Duh'oh! Where do these otherworldly beings gain this logic? It's undeniable, but somehow......ours is irresistible.
To us.

When are we going to start remodeling the other guest bathroom? Why is that Aviator thingy taking so long?
That's an interesting set up, and I may end up with something similar for the exhaust. Thank you for the ideas you have been providing, and please keep it up!Vancetp wrote: ↑Sat Aug 25, 2018 12:36 pmAnother interesting exhaust design, again from the Polish Automatiky site:

This is a purge valve kind of setup that is external and exhausts near-ish the center of the diaphragm. Something like this might work.
Good idea, Swimjim. I can picture exactly what you propose as a way to protect the flimsy duckbill. That little flap of thin rubber could be pretty vulnerable to getting kinked or torn. I'm pretty sure that all those parts are available. Currently using a 3/4 tee for the hose and duckbill connection and that works fine. Probably would have to go from that to 1.5 to cover a duckbill adequately.swimjim wrote: ↑Sat Aug 25, 2018 4:00 pmI was going to check this out at the hardware store the other day but got waylaid. I wonder if copper pipe reducers are available ? One could run a short piece of one inch O.D. into a lets say and 1.5 inch to one inch reducer. A piece of 1.5 O.D. about say four inches long would plug into the reducer. A duckbill could be fitted to the one inch and exhaust into the 1.5. This way the duck bill would be protected like it would be in an exhaust can. The whole mess could be riveted to the "can" of the dilluter. Just a thought.

Looks better to me too, Swimjim. I wish you were here to participate.
Thanks, Swimjim. I know you would like diving with this contraption, but I'd be concerned that you would want to take to 120' or more!
Thank you, Phillip. I appreciate your interest and the helpful tips and photos you provided.
