Splitter Design

Surplus Center - 1" NPT 40 GPM SINGLE SELECTOR VALVE CROSS VS4BKLF7

Its rated at 40GPM with one inch inlet and outlets. could easily switch between the two circuits with separate valves and everything. or for a few more bucks you could go with the double ones and use your same valve. kinda nice to be able to just pull a knob and the same valve works for two different functions

I did get the BlueWing back together and have the engine/pump mount firmly in my sights... probably start on that this weekend.

Somehow I started replying to an old thread of mine, sorry for the confusion.

at least you know somebody reads your posts. i find your design and engineering to be amazing. not much to comment on so i just lurk in the shadows

Thanks, I'm glad someone is reading them... I can see that the outriggers for the back and the tongue will be the next thing to build. For space saving reasons I'm making the 2 1/2" square tube for the tongue removable. I'm still up in the air about how to mount the outriggers in the back.

I finally decided how I want to rig up the outriggers in the back. I used channel instead of angle for the rear fender support and put the jack on the channel. I positioned it so when folded up it does not stick out past the tire.

Thanks, in practice I will find out if they are in the way or not. I pondered a bit about that and said what the heck I'll give it a try.

Thanks
