Re: New solution to Blowing Couplers
i used to find a way to zip tie ---- when i had my ghetto setup. I had PVC 90* elbows (---- anyone who says they melt, they lasted 35K miles on a D @ 10#'s) and i forgot how i did it but i'd ziptie everything to everything and it worked :P

Re: New solution to Blowing Couplers
poor mans welding = http://search.harborfreight.com/cpis...=pipe+expander + couplers
they got em for alot cheaper.. there are the non screw ones which is basically a cone shape that you hammer into the pipe.. ittl expand one end of the pipe so you can jam the other end of the piping into it.. if i were to do it id expand both ends of the piping and cut a 3rd piece of piping to go inside both of them and the couples would never come offf at all

I just noticed that it made the standard clamps hold better.... Not comparing to welding...but in my case, my welds all have pin hole leaks.. took an hour to re weld everything today to try and eliminate the bigger leaks..
