All,

I am reassembling the cabinet on my 110 and am getting ready to put the liner in.  However, I recall the fun in getting the drain tube out when I disassembled.  How exactly is that tube held in there?  It appears as if the end may be flared a little to keep it from dropping through the liner, but what else (if anything) holds it in place?

The 110 has the wood frame (which is a  :censored: :darn:), so access to the tube is virtually impossible with the liner installed.  So, my thought would be to:

1. Get the tube in position by putting it up through the liner from the bottom. 
2. Flaring the end.
3. Gooping it up with silicone before dropping it down in place so it seals around the liner (or should I coat the exterior of it with somethign like JB Weld to hold it in place?)

Basically, I am looking for how you guys do this, since once the liner is resting in place, you cannot really get underneath it because of the wood frame.

Thanks!

I think originally they had a large brazing tool that flared the tube and brazed it to the liner.
I think Rod at F-T just had a two-piece drain tube reproduced that is easy to install. Check the F-T website under V-110!

Thanks, Tom.  I knew Rod was working on this, but it isn't posted on his website yet.  Hopefully, soon!

Try calling on Monday. I think it is done, but just not listed online yet.

just a question what is the J-T website information i am looking for a replacement drain tube.   In order to remove the inner liner and clean it up and have it powder coated i had to cut the tube below.

Thanks

The company is Funtronics, www.fun-tronicsllc.com.  They have the drain tube and it works great.  It comes in two pieces so you can get it in the liner.

Yes I have the drain tube for the Vendo 110. It should be online. If not give Janet a call on Monday.
