Title: VENDORLATOR DRAIN TUBE NEEDED
Post by: FRESNO MAN on January 06, 2011, 06:21:19 pm
I'm in need of a useable drain tube for a Vendo 3D-33. Anyone?

I made a few up recently.  I think I used 1/2" ID copper pipe.  Seems like the OD needed to be 5/8".  I bought a cheap 9.99 tube flarer to flare the end and soldered it to the liner.  If you know a plumber it wouldn't take him 5 minutes to make it.

I have not installed the liner to the machine yet.  The old one was threaded on the outside with a not holding it to the cabinet.  I don't see any need for it to be held the same way.  The 33 had a 90* catch pan that directed the water towards the front to go to the condensate pan.  My pan is rusted through, so I plan on just using a 90* fitting and directing it to the catch pan.
