My JBJ PSI highness...

After fiddling with it....
45-60PSI
Soon can add new toy during rescape

Wonder if touching this changed something.

Little venture in mustafa

adding this post just in case people need do some DIY PVC piping.
Since not many  have added and a friend also added.
(ok i lied, i have mood to type in my blog from pc :P )


 Just for reference, someone had problems telling hardware shop what he want
PCV bulkheads (US name or web naming)



The hardware shop next block to where i live.
Bulkhead is called Socket
T-Joint is called Tee
the rest more or less even goondoo uncle also know

PVC cutters found not in Hardware shop
But MUSTAFA




Lastly what i was using for a long time to cut transparent pipes and pvc pipes.

Please forgive my ash tray, not using ash tray to cut :P
