Title: Drain Pipe and Rubber Feet Post by: sbcroix on July 06, 2013, 05:14:47 pm I need a line on a Drain Pipe for my Westinghouse standard tank liner.
I see Fun-Tronics sells one, but it's round at the top. My tank iner has a hex shaped depression in it, and I would prefer to keep it that way. Also, anyone know where I can find some replacement anti vibration rubber feet for my compressors. strangely seems hard to find on the internets... either that or I am just not a good searcher. Also, any recommendations on what to use under the liner for insulation? Rather than the pressed wood insulation it came with?

I have one in my tool box to prove it :biggrin:. I was not able to find a direct replacement for the entire drain flange but did see some promising alternatives at my local pluming store. I found a brass one that had the correct outer diameter to slip into the hole and also had the correct pipe size / thread pitch on the inside. The only issue I would have is it was round on top not hex, so my plan was lay the old plug on top, trace around it and grind it down a bit to make it into the hex shape I needed. Fortunately I was able to salvage my old one just needed to replace the locking nut.

I have found a few hex bushings that are really close, except the hex part is usually about 1/4" thick. Might have to do some grinding myself. Appreciate the info!

They should have one or other.

You guys are all awesome... Title: Re: Drain Pipe and Rubber Feet Post by: sbcroix on July 27, 2013, 01:48:07 pm For future reference i just found this the HEX drain on sodajerkworks. Of course this after I have spent hours with my dremel cleaning the rust and corrosion out the original :-)
I might just buy one anyway http://sodajerkworks.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=16&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=1062&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=27 Title: Re: Drain Pipe and Rubber Feet Post by: Blind1968 on July 28, 2013, 04:41:42 pm Thats good to know. :biggrin:
