sounds good guys.
is the stuff a pain in the a$$ to take off if you need to.. if so how do you do it.
sorry buck didn't me to hyst your thread..
chris
No problem Chris, always willing to share
some info.
With the small stuff I use on the 21's and 45's I made a "drift pin" or "bull pin" out of steel that I use to heat and stretch the PTFE material until it fits the pipe. If you over stretch it you will not have a very good seal. Cinch it down with safety wire and your good to go.
Cut the safety wire and remove if needed after all it is Teflon so it won't stick. :lol:
-Buck- I take a Hacksaw & etch up the pipe where the coupler rides Left angle on the header, Right angle on the pipe. When the coupler heats up & Bites ON. It will take a good size knife to cut it off. If you need to make the pipe longer or shorter while running you can take a rag & screw it apart longer or shorter Works like threads ...
... Heat the coupler up & push it into the stinger area of pipe (diverter cone) to flare it out for easy installing.
