Subject: Poll for Wiggins couplings

I note that the special tool necessary to make a bead in the pipe  (for
secure hose attachment) is also about $200.

Can we poll the Rotary group for a quantity buy of couplings, to make
them  available for all to benefit??  I estimate a production run of 50
Wiggins Couplings with the O rings may cost $50 each.

How many want  Wiggins couplings (set of 4 for $200) ?

Well Keith at $50 each I will have to think real hard :-)
Am I fronting the money or are you fronting the money? :-)

I will argue (devils advocate) that you also have to fabricate the AL
tubing.

Also, we do not want to scare people away from the Rotary with all of this
fancy, maybe hard to get, hardware.  How much are the spring loaded hose
clamps?  Some easy to get rubber hose?  Much cheaper and I wonder how
much heavier it would be?
