extension arm

[TankMan]

Is the extension arm still available for the streams that allows them to pivot to more of a 90 degree angle? I remember when they first came out, but I don't see them offered anywhere now. BTW, I have the 6100's on magnetic holders that I want to relocate, but I need to pivot them around further than what the stock arms allow them. Thanks, Tim

Yes, it is actually the pivot and not the arm that enables the wider turn radius. Premium was stocking them. I am pretty sure it is part 6080.23.

Thanks Roger,

I did find it at PA, but I was thinking there was an extension arm made for this problem in order to get a near 90 degree radius for the streams? Do you know what radius the part 6080.23 can achieve? Thanks, Tim

It won't get you to 90 degrees. This takes it from maybe 30-45 degrees on the old design to about 60. That is the limit. It basically just has a stand off so it can swivel further but the pump hits the glass at about 60 degrees.

Is it still about 60 while using the magnets? Thanks

 

[rvitko]

Yes. The old holder could do about 60 until you put it on the magnet, the offset just carries it out far enough that when you swivel it the magnet doesn't get in the way.

Thanks for the clarification.
