The best assembly I have seen so far. Thanks a lot.

Very nice, clean, easy quick build!!!! No worries with engineering pistons and what not lol. I built it in slightly different sizing being in the U.S., but it does work quite well, thank you!!!

Man this was the most simple and productive. Thank you for sharing this with us.

You could also make an adapter fitted with a PEX tube or other small hand made crevice wand like you demonstrated.

lovely build - thank You for sharing
Just 1 thing - try to learn about having your phone set up on its side so your tape will come out widescreen

[prospectpat]

Thanks bro, got mine built thanks to you

I put a 45 in the suction tube, and a coupling with stiff wire in a tic tac toe pattern through little holes to fit the wire, as a classifier. Actually It was sucking up rocks and plugging up.

[johnruckman]

With multiple reducers you could bring the nozzles down to pex tube size or make smaller sizes of crevice nozzles to increase the suction.

Went to Home Depot and ask for the pvc pipes you mention in mills and they looked at me like I grew a turnip on my head. Anyone have these measurements in Inches?

[justme.]

Why don't you use a wider pipe, like 90mm etc. Does it make for too heavy a load? I'm sure there's a good reason, I'm just wondering and thanks heaps for the vid!

Try using 2x 30mm washers with a peice of thong squashed between them. You can join this to your already made pump by drilling a hole in your end cap, fastening with a bolt and springwasher and nut. Last quite a while and when it does start to lose suction all you need to do is tighten it up, squashing the thong even more.

If we call it hand dredge it makes it unlawful to use in my state. So it a crevis sucker.
