Siphon nozzles
« on: July 25, 2014, 01:44:32 PM »
Hypothetical question, if I imported some from China would any members be interested in them?

No idea on price but less than imported-from-US Delavan prices (which seems to be about £50 for both nozzle and adapter - which has 1/4 bsp air port and 1/8 bsp liquid port).

What sort of liquid flow rate? (I believe the Delavan at the BBB was a 1gph one).

Edit: Looking at the data that seems to be the greatest liquid flow available for 3-5psi input.

I would go for one too if it was significantly cheaper than the US ones.

I'd be interested in one, looking at making something very hot and loud.

No rush, just gauging interest.  I need to find minimum order quantity and prices.  Import duties are also fun.

I import Japanese fuel pump belts for the Largo (very specialist) so have been through it before.  I suspect there's a greater market for nozzles by a very long way.
