Seriously I do not use a dowel.
I get a nice clean, straight cut.

If it's working fot you, lowboy, that's great. I have not had good luck at all not using a dowel with any type of tubing, polycarbonate or polypropylene. If you're cutting down the DCTanks, you really need a dowel inside because it has a much thinner wall.
What do you guys use for tank cap except the p slip joint,anything that is good and available mc master?
Yeah Carless,i have searched for hours myself.I just picked up some vinyl grommets 5/16 ID 5/8 OD from the local Fry's electronics store.30 for $2.49.My poly pipe should be here tomorrow.....
I am making my tanks with the grommets, o-rings and polycarbonite tubing and have found that adding the o-rings makes the grommets too tight, so am not using the o-rings.
Loving the fill ports, though. I've been using the same Boge 3 ohm carto in a liquinator tank for almost 3 weeks now because all I have to do is remove the screw and add more juice as needed.
Maybe I just lucked up and came across a great carto with perfectly sized holes, but I do love the easy filling feature.
Do you guys think this would fit in a 5/8 id tube? Amazon.com: Nylon 6/6 Shoulder Washer, 0.627" ID, 0.875" OD, 0.125" Thick, 1.245" Shoulder Diameter, 0.625" Length (Pack of 100): Industrial & Scientific
I know it's a little bigger but I'm assuming the tubing can expand to accomodate. I not too keen on the q slip join washer and would appreciate if anyone could post a picture of it on the tube.
thanks!
I don't think the carto would fit. You need 7/16" (0.4375") hole for a carto.
I don't think so. You need 0.4375" ID, 0.6250" OD. I searched, but couldn't find anything close enough. You might be able to find it, but I couldn't.

These may work. A boge LR carto is roughly 3/8" in diameter. The ID of this shoulder washer is .31" which is slightly smaller than carto's diameter, but should have some give, which also makes for a nice seal. With the carto inserted, that should increase the OD of the washer from 1/2" to roughly .63", which should be a tight seal for the ID of the polytube at .625". At 2 bucks for 50 (but tack on $5 more for shipping), I'm giving it a shot. Will post the results later.
Can you post a P/N of what you ordered? I want to make sure I'm looking at the same thing. Thanks.
