1.5” or 2” stack for LX?

[gborris]

I’m working on my beloved Ninja Classic. Do the LX motors require a 2” stack? Or is 1.5” stack with 2” barb sufficient?

 

[Jim Davisson]

2" imo but you might draw "slightly" less amps with 1½". Go 2" and let it eat.

I ordered this bulkhead fitting on Amazon 2” bulkhead slip x slip. Fits 2” pvc. I’ll use Toyota FIPG with the gaskets

 

[gborris]

Stack is easier than expected

Still waiting on parts, but I wanted to show everyone this hose barb 1.5” MIP 2” barb https://www.steam-brite.com/barbed-...ort-20130429-insert-fitting-ah69-p-13147.html

We use 1.5” on the stack and 2” inside dimension on the inlet. TM power in a porty.

Mine ended up 2” stack with 1.5” MIP to 2” barb at the inlet. It’s fine it’s just going to be my bucket brigade machine anyway.

Yeah I have been running my airhog at 100 - 150' past few jobs and the power feels good. Makes my big 15" wand really whistle (howl).

Customer are happy.

I ended up using two 348 motors in series. Slightly less lift. Don’t have a CFM meter, but it makes that ping sound when I put my hand over it so I’m guessing over 230

 

[gborris]

Actually glad I went this route because the tank is already flexing

 

[gborris]

I was able to line up one motor with existing vent and exhaust out bottom hole. Also gained some lift by removing a kink. Overall not bad for a Ninja

I'm just starting a complete ground up refurb on our back up scooter. You are on the home stretch, that's the fun part of the project. You are going to love that little devil!

what is 348?

what is 348?

LX with the 2" horn.

Here it is all cleaned up. I drilled two 4” holes one for first motor and one for second motor exhaust. Also added some long bolts to hold the motor in place.

I like it, is that flow jet a pump out?

 

[gborris]

No, it’s just a regular pump. This is a bucket machine no auto anything.

How is it going so far? How do you like those lx vacs in that machine?

 

[gborris]

I haven’t used it yet just playing with it in my garage. It should be comparable to Cobb’s Breeze LX.

I actually inherited this equipment after my dad passed away. Right now I’m going through and rebuilding everything. My day job is actually teaching high school, but I plan to clean carpets over the summer.
