32, 28, 32, 18 , 16, 13, 13 so its not horrendous, but i worry if i fiddle with the joints i will end up with a 263728 and every one of my collections is a payment sample!

What kind of gaskets? silicone or BunaView attachment 736010 View attachment 736012
Have started loctiting them when I do them up now but it’s difficult to get them really tight without undoing the next one along the line. The reason they said it would take so long to change over was they were going to use the existing mountings and stainless pipe and just cut the DIN couplings off and reswage/weld the Triclover couplings on.
I have had 2 swaged couplings blow off, luckily only on the dump line and ended up just tacking them back on with a arc welder as that was all we had available and have been fine since, wouldn’t want to do that on a main discharge lines.
Is it the nut coming loose and leaking at the gasget or the fitting onto the pipe?
That type should be leak proof and reliable. Took out a chiller a few years ago with those. It had run 10yrs with no leaks.
Could you not get somebody to tig weld a small tack on each one when they’ve been tightened@Scholsey Could you not clamp a locking bar through the c spanner teeth cut outs somehow? - held in place with a jubilee clip either side perhaps. Or what about just tightening a jubilee clip clamped at an angle over both parts of the fitting?
A blue rounded o ring, not sure what material it is made out of. Apparently they have more of a issue with them coming loose with the new merlins than the old ones, said it could be something to do with resonance from the purge or milk pump or could be complete rubbish i dont know. Are there any advantages to the silicon/plastic continuous discharge line or are they just cheap and easy and thats why they are used?
After checking and double checking everything you guys suggested yesterday seems to be fine. Could it be coincidence? My heads pickled looking for solutions.
Study your T4c- could give you clues - change in dead milk times, change in milking times,Conductivity., etc It keeps track of a lot of data
watch teat spray, nozzle partly blocked poorly spraying that quarter. Change the liner, and twin tube on that quarter.
Did you find the filters on the pulsation line?
Get the tech in and get pulsation and milking vacuum tested. Could be a problem in the pulsator itself. Don;t put it off too long. Get fixed will it is a small problem before it becomes a big problem.
Any of you boys (or girls) harvesting your water from the plate cooler into a water tank, to then plum to a couple of water troughs (to help with water in freezing themes) and also into your robot water heater? If so, what size of a water tank did you use?
Twin tube coolers here, 3 ibc on loft all cooler water goes into then and then pumped to all water troughs, warm water will freeze quicker than cold apparentlyAny of you boys (or girls) harvesting your water from the plate cooler into a water tank, to then plum to a couple of water troughs (to help with water in freezing themes) and also into your robot water heater?

What way did folk work the internet in to their outbuildings.
I have bought WiFi extenders to boost WiFi over power cables but for some reason seems to mess up the hub. Anyone any good ideas?
Looks like that will be my long term option. Need a short term fix to get me up and going this weekPut a new phone line into mine.
