Another Odd Idea!

If you wanted to keep using the original valves would a feed valve for a urinal flush tank provide a low enough pressure constant flow? They always seem to use a very slow feed to fill the tank. It'd probably be a lot more work than rigging up a couple of modern valves though.

Norge?

Did anybody else see the Norge Double-Capacity front loader in the POD and think there was more than a passing similarity between it and the model-D here?

Does anybody know anything about the histories of each model? Was there some sort of licencing deal in one or other direction? Pure luck? Other ideas?

An up-date

The remote valves

I have now mounted the modern valves inside a plastic box which will be installed on the wall ready for hot and cold feeds.

One of the original Bendix hoses attaches to the new valve.

I now need some good strong jubilee clips and remove the pistons from the original valves, I will wrap them up and store inside the machine.

hoses

just a thought Lee

what about the internal hoses off a Hoover/Hotpoint soap draw inlet, cut down put over the inlets from the new valves and then the Bendix hose over that with silicon sealant and jubilee clips.

just-a-thought ;-)

Connectors at the machine end, no need to cut any wires the original bullet connectors fit these new ends perfectly.

Right I now need to sort the base and we can wash a load and see it spin.
