Need to order a linteater

[oldmountvernon]

Want to make sure i get the right one for 3" piping The ones im seeing locally are 2 1/2 diameter Is that gonna cut it? or do i need 3" diameter?

If anyone has a link for a deal would be appreciated Its so nice out today i should of been more prepared and bought one already. maybe run to lowes see what they got

I got this one and use it on my 4" vent pipe and it works fine....cheaper than I paid before on Amazon as well. That 2.5 inch diameter lint brush is another brush in the kit...not the one you use in the vent pipe. If anything, you may have to trim the brush for the vent pipe down to 3 inch.

I picked up a similar item in lowes for 20 bucks.

When I had the 3" vent I used this 3" brush from Rutland.

Worked real well for me.

I use the lint-eater that Ejectr posted above http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0014CN8Y8/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?ref_=sr_1_1&qid=1331142827&sr=8-1

Its a 4" brush and it works on all about of my vents. The 4" as well as the 3" vent. Just did my 3" vent on the Quad this past weekend.

Ive done the stoves and the dryer vent with mine. Still amazed at how well it works on my dryer vent (couple 90°'s and a couple 45°'s and doesn't even think of stopping).

So the 4 " isnt to tight? ( smokeshow gonna have fun with this one lol )

IMHO, The 4" would be way too loose for smoke. Better bring along the 10" for him! :cheese:

4" is fine...... Gets it done at my house. It is tighter on the 3", but still works. My 3" on the Quad is a Less than Ideal set-up to. Incorporates stove adapter, to a 45° (parallel to wall), then a 90°, then a 2' horizontal. Its all horizontal (direct vent). Its a corner install. Normally you add a 45° then its straight out. Well an outlet was in the way. So the 45° goes the opposite way and a 90° was needed to turn and go out. Not ideal, but it works and the 4" lint-eater goes through all of that. My dryer vent has more turns, but its 4".
Or you can trim it. I did my 1st one (before I had a 4" system). I trimmed the brush head without trying it. When I bought the new system for the 4" was when I tried it on the 3". Now I only use the one. Gave the other to my Dad.

4" works on everything at my crib..

We cant all be Rockstars. ;-P

Nice.. That looks almost exactly like a Lint Eater. And a Great price too. .

Thats a Good Gal you got there... ;-P

 

[oldmountvernon]

ya ill get to it tommorow hopefully find some parts around here to attach a leafblower i guess the only thing i need to know is leave the door open, since i have no interest in locating the vacuum hose/switch

 

[DexterDay]

Yep... But it shouldnt be hard to find. And blowing through the tube to eject fines is a good practice at least once a season. (Remove from switch and blow towards stove).

But being so new, you could just open the door and be good.

A PVC 4" to 3" reducer works great for the end of the leaf blower. I cut back the vacuum suction tube on the leafblower until the PVC reducer fit well. Then I sealed it with Liquid Nails. On 3" vent, the reducer barely fits over the end (1/2" over). Add some tape and your 100% sealed. On 4" vent the reducer slides just inside the vent. Add some tape and your 100% sealed.

 

[oldmountvernon]

i have a blower thats missing the suction tube so i have to measure that and hopefully find something that will work. hate to buy another blower just for that reason

Get a bigger adapter/reducer to fit over the end (where the suction tube would be mounted). Either a 6"-3" or 5"-3".. Or a 5"-4" and then 4"-3", etc....... The tube isnt necessary if you are a tinkering type of person. Im sure you will figure it out. Coming from a guy with 20 some ton of fuel in his 1ST YEAR :lol: I am sure you will get by...??? ;-P

 

[oldmountvernon]

lol thats why i am now using the 2 ton ++ i still want more so it would look so bad i browse craigslist everyday, found a few but to far to travel. when spring hits people will dump them

 

[smoke show]

I don't the suction tube either.

A pvc adapter, piece of 4" b-vent, duct tape and some redneck engineering, works perfect.

I'll post some pics when I'm back in Wi.

Your on vaca and your coming here? Dude you got it worse than we though! OMV might have made you very ill!!

Take 10 beers and call me in the morning! For good measure a couple of shots can be mixed in!

 

[smoke show]

The wife and kids let me know I have a problem. :lol:

 

[jtakeman]

The wife and kids tell me I'm the problem. :lol:

Fixed it for ya! ;-)

OMV if you can get the leaf blower to attach to your vent pipe using a fernco coupling it makes it nice and neat. Just clamps down with a hose clamp and may even be strong enough to leave in place running as you go open and close your door a little bit.
