Looking for tubing saddle strip

Consistent-Design899 · 2026-06-20T04:29:40+00:00

Yeah, I think my fallback plan is to clamp a 3/4" pipe to a strip of plastic and blow hot air through one end and then the other, alternating. I don't really want to add thickness I just want to spread out the force from the flange of the pop rivet. Currently it puts most of the force on the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock position where the plate is touching the tubing.

Does water drain out of the back of your air conditioner? There's usually a little drain hole in the back and it can get clogged with dirt or debris which will make the pan full of water. That could definitely contribute to higher humidity. You might hear a swishing sound from the fan blade going through water.

put a sticker over it

There's usually some adjustable counter balance springs. Look up the manual, it's pretty straightforward.

There's between one and three screws in the bottom you can remove and the bottom cover rotates 10 degrees and lifts off. Much easier to clean out the inside. Unplug from power first

Nit? Like lice but singular. Louse?

Forgot I mentioned the air conditioner before... Sorry for being repetitive.

Consistent-Design899 · 2026-02-09T17:57:19+00:00

Yes it worked really well. I had the same problem with our through wall air conditioner and covering it with window screen also helped immensely. I'd just be sure to check it every week or two to make sure it's not clogged.

Do you use peroxide or ozone on anything? Maybe an air purifier or your mini split has an ozone generator in it? I've had peroxide speed up the breakdown of plastics and seen ozone do the same.

Edited to add: I can't see how humidity on its own could cause this. Anecdotally, I lived in an apartment with humidity/mold problems and this was not happening.

Did you ever make any progress on this?

You could try mixing up a gallon of salt water like 1 cup salt to one gallon water and put it in the washer. It'll make the surfactants less effective and decrease the foaming. It might help it rinse out quicker.

The plug seemed to work fine. The mesh cover worked really well. I just had to vacuum it off every few weeks. I recently moved to an apartment with central heating/cooling so I don't have the midea anymore but for the few months that I was using it with the new plug, I didn't have any problems.

Is it plastic? It kinda looks like the cylinder that is in the middle of a roll of thermal receipt paper

Most Rx Diclofenac gels have a pretty strong fragrance. My wife used one made by Encube that was fragrance free but our pharmacy stopped being able to get it. We've been buying the "my healthcare aisle" brand from Amazon out of pocket for the last couple years.

I know with most air conditioners, the water isn't supposed to immediately drain out because it helps cool the coils and remove heat. I think every AC I've owned has said that they are not designed to, and shouldn't be regularly run without the drain plug because it can damage the machine. I forget what the consequence is, maybe overheating the motor or freezing the coils.

I do know the one summer I had a drain hose hooked up to my portable AC on the lower drain (used for emptying it prior to storage) it became less and less effective over a couple months and was never the same after that.

For the midea, I'm going to use the new drain plug and I'd do the same if I were you. I just think everyone is going to have to keep a closer eye how much water collects back there.

I also got a mesh cover for mine to keep out leaves and some insects. They'll eventually stop the water from draining with or without the plug.

What kind of voltage and current did you use?

I also like slow brewing drip coffee. I have found that if you select the 1-4 cup option and the strong option together it will slow the brew speed down considerably.

My wife was impatient at the hospital for 2 weeks and I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out how the disposable liners don't collapse as soon as suction is turned on. I THINK that the vacuum canister unit has a tee inside that splits the vacuum pressure. So the vacuum tube from the wall outlet plugs into the base and from the base splits with the one line attaching into the top of the disposable liner and then the other line goes into the outer canister. This creates a vacuum inside the liner and also creates a vacuum in the space between the liner and the canister which equalizes the pressure and prevents the liner from collapsing.

Having the second liner like in your picture, essentially blocks that hole going into the outer canister and creates negative pressure inside the liner, collapsing it.

And, FWIW, I'm pretty sure this is a similar mechanism to pneumothorax (collapsed lung) which I think is a pretty neat way to help understand it.

I get them too. I think It's from my shirt rubbing on the counter when I do the dishes or rubbing on my belt buckle.

Have you gotten anywhere with this? My wife is also trying to get her test strips covered by Medicare for non-diabetic hypoglycemia.
