The very first prototype recovery sleeve in this pic sitting atop the newer HVRS's on right in pic. Bear in mind that is a "2-part" recovery sleeve using a 3" I.D. thin-wall inner piece of tubing with a thicker mid-section machined from a separate 4" diameter "puck" of aluminum rod then pressed on with a light slip-fit and held in place with LocTite 680 sleeve retaining compound and the hose barbs.

Straight hose barbs and overall kinda funky. But it led to whats being delivered today. I believe there were 3 more revisions before I got to the last revision recovery sleeve and later the latest/greatest "HVRS" of today.

So unless the thought of a FlowTube which in a year will likely look as antiquated/barbaric as that prototype recovery sleeve sitting atop those other HVRS's in the pic above ya might wanna take a little bit of a "wait-n-see" approach before jumping on the FlowTube concept as it exists today.

Can't wait to get mine on there.

I need to pick up a 45* 3/4" barb fitting for my 4000 project (making a blow-by recovery of my own) and am striking out finding one. McMaster-Carr has them in 5/8" (which I might go to if I have to), but I'm striking out locally... mind sharing that tid bit?

I've seen straights go that large but never any elbows. Angled barbs top out at 5/8"

You "might" be able to get there with a 3/4" NPT female adapter and a 3/4" NPT barbed straight but I doubt it. Problem is you're into "garden hose" sizes and that opens a whole 'nother can of worms.

i wish i could find this stuff locally cuz I'm gonna get smoked on shipping. I was even looking into regular gas line stuff, but there wasn't much of a selection at my local hardware store. Might hit up the depot this weekend and see what I can find as well.

VAP

is the way to go. And they charge "actual" shipping prices. And it's not hard to find at least 2-3 other things you'll need there to help justify shipping. Like titanium hose clamps? ;-)I get all my stuff thru a local hydraulic supplier who orders quantities for me. But not in the large sizes you're seeking.

and speaking of me not having anything better to do, what about you!?! It's MY "time and resources" to do with as I please, and I so hope it displeases your socks off which apparently it does to no end and that pleases my socks off! Least I'm doing something that doesnt require hiding behind a pseudonym, afraid to show my face while spewing impudent/sophomoric criticism of others.

Get a life little boy!
