Big Country’s been making some serious drive time as of late due to the Christmad Horror-day… err Holiday and unexpected expenditures. I’ve been pulling 10-12 hour daily runs behind the wheel, with the rule being “No returning to the barn until $100.00 or more is made.” So far, so good. That being said I’ve also been exceptionally late with the follow up to the Flamethrower., so it’s time to continue with the Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Flammenwerfer
Now: Part 4 of this is going to be the Hose and Gun Build.

Tape. It’s really important
to use the yellow as it’s resistant to petroleum based stuff like, oh Napalm
and gas… using -regular- Teflon tape and yer hosed (pardon the pun.)
the fittings hand tight at first, then crank them down with the wrenches
thusly:
Nipple, Schedule 80, 1/8″ NPT Male X 3″ Length https://amzn.to/2kSl6VD
Connect M22 X 3/8″ Quick Disconnect Plug 4500PSI Hig Pressure Brass
Fitting 300° F Max Temp https://amzn.to/2lpJq1j
at Lowes or Home Depot)
Seamless Pipe Fitting, Nipple, Schedule 80, 1/8″ NPT Male X 3″ Length https://amzn.to/2kSl6VD
Tape all the threads again: (Small hint: do this to ALL THE THREADED PIECES
PARTS. It’s a given that like
-everything- on this puppy needs to be neatly sealed.) Once it’s ready, take the 2X Anderson
Metals Brass Pipe Fitting, Coupling, 1/8″ x 1/8″ Female Pipe https://amzn.to/2lrNJsP
and mount them on the pipe you just wrapped (heh… that sounds obscene…) Use the two socket drives thusly to insure
again a -tight- fit:
Then take the M22 Male x 1/4” Female NPT https://amzn.to/2mpaEp2
and crank THAT on. Once you have that
installed, attach it to the front of the sprayer. You now have the gun completed ALMOST. The only thing left is to attach the Erie Tools Pressure Washer Twist Connect
M22 X 3/8″ Quick Disconnect Plug 4500PSI High Pressure Brass Fitting 300°
F Max Temp https://amzn.to/2lpJq1j to the endo of the
feed assembly. Once this is done, you
should be able to do a pressure test once you’ve connected the hoses to the
tank and gun respectively. Give it a
shoot so to speak.
And it should look roughly like this:
For that matter, it’s pretty much at this point complete. I’m sorry it took so long to do, but what with life, liberty and the pursuit of drunken disorderly charges, I’ve been swamped. I figured I owed it to you clowns to finish this as an early Merry Christmas for all your kind words, support and even the tips that I’ve gotten from a few of y’all. You’ve all made my year a HELL of a lot brighter, and you have my thanks for it.
Til later, I remain, the Intrepid Reporter,
