2240/2250 OnlyNew parts with smaller bore/thicker wallDue to manufacturing error all other HiPAC models are discontinued until further notice.
I don't know why the Forums should have to do the Rat's work for him. I repeat what I read from the above, from the Rat's Forum.... Bob
Ah, I see, sorry but I didn't catch the hyphen in his link. I think the new website address has been in place for over a year at least. Don't know why Alex changed the domain name. Nor why he uses a proxy service for website hosting and conceals his real name with his domain registrar.
Alex doesn't respond to me by email any more. Doesn't post my messages on his 'forum' either. I said a couple of things last year which called into question some HiPAC stuff, and he got mad and deleted some of what I said and started throwing insults at me in public. I emailed to ask him to behave like a rational person and just answer the questions but no reply ever came. From what I've read in many forums this sort of behaviour is rather typical for Alex going back through the last 4 or 5 years.
I have 2250 HiPACs, no extensions. Apparently my machinist drilled a lot of them with a bigger bore than the design which thinned the o-ring channel. As you read you'll hear what you hear, so for comfort sake here it is. The o-ring channel OD 0.672". ID is 0.578" for a grand difference of 0.094" or .047 wall thickness, which ain't a problem, as the AG gods profess their expertise in all things AG related. Funny that nobody"s asked to return them. Go figure.
You're right, it's not hidden, but don't divide my opinion into either attacking you or defending him; it's neither. The issue of safety is always in the forefront and i'm in line with the whole community to that point, but your hidden bias is blatantly obvious. *(&^, your fangs are out and it's all over this forum. If not you'd have copy/paste the actual statement in the first place, not your doctored-up version. Then you could easily have gone back and edited the first post to read his actual statement. And the "modify" button does work. Instead you reply with more guided comment and corrections. You wouldn't have done that if you had never been brought it to the carpet on it. Your readers obviously agree with you on everything so keep it honest and not in character.As for the hipac, I read that .033 - .038" was nominal so guess .047" is what it is now. There'sothing saying .033" is an issue but you. What i haven't read (other than the incidents with Goober's mechanics and Superman's steel bending), is a single unit exploding when used as designed. That's all I'm saying. If that's happened then yeah, maybe a recall is in order, but without you pushing it. I don't know how he made them. Maybe .025" is the 3 to 1 safety margin for error you mention so often. I doubt it but unless you know the steel grade you're just mouthing bias. Sure they need to be tested, at least the thinnest one do, and I agree with the community on that issue point. I don't know if he's tested it or not but i'll ask next time I visit his forum. Keep it unbiased and factual. A Thousand truthes does not an honest man make, but a lie makes a liar."How anyone could read..."? I'm sure there're some who would have been smart enough to draw their own conclusion, without your influence.
