2 pin Power Cable

What Is a 2 Pin Power Cable?

Whether you're connecting a kettle or a PC, you need the right kind of power cord. Thankfully, desktop graphics cards are fairly power-efficient, and a single 6-pin connector will usually suffice for most cases. However, NVIDIA's decision to create a bespoke 12 pin power connector for their top-of-the-line RTX series GPUs has added some confusion to an otherwise fairly straightforward part of PC building.

Depending on your region, you'll either have a non-polarized plug with two straight blades or a polarized plug with a third round or U-shaped ground pin. Non-polarized plugs are usually used in electrical outlets in the home or on the female end of extension cords, while polarized plugs are typically found on the male end of appliance couplers (also known as receptacles). The ground pin is longer than the other two and provides a safety path for excess current to drain to the earth in case of a short circuit.

A power cable is an insulated stranded wire conductor that links the plug and the adapter or socket to transmit electrical currents between them. It is usually made of copper with a layer of plastic or other protective material to reduce electromagnetic interference. Its length can range from 6.6 to 32.8 ft (2 to 10 m). Power cords are often identified by their IEC or IEC 60320 type or marking, which defines the type of plug and mating appliance inlet they connect to.

Power cords are typically 2-core or 3-core, which refers to the number of conductors inside the flexible cord. Most of the time, a power cord will have one live or hot wire that's colored black (North America) or brown (Internationally). The other wire is neutral and is colored white. Occasionally, the cord will also have a third wire that's smaller than the other two and is called the earth or grounding wire.

When it comes to powering our devices, the humble 2 pin power cable might not get much attention. We tend to take them for granted, plugging them in and forgetting about them. But have you ever stopped to think about just how important these little cables are? They are the backbone of modern technology, providing the necessary connection between our devices and the power source.

What makes the 2 pin power cable so fascinating is its simplicity. With just two pins, this cable can transmit electrical current to power a wide range of devices, from laptops and televisions to smartphones and game consoles. It may seem like a small thing, but without it we would be left in the dark - quite literally! In today's fast-paced world where we rely heavily on technology, having a reliable and efficient power supply is essential.

But what sets the 2 pin power cable apart from other types of cables? One major advantage is its compact size. The two pins allow for easy insertion into standard sockets without taking up too much space. This makes it ideal for traveling or situations where space is limited. Additionally, its simple design means it is less prone to damage or wear and tear compared to more complex cables with multiple connectors.

The humble 2-pin power cable may not be the most glamorous or talked-about piece of technology, but it plays a crucial role in our modern lives. From charging our smartphones to powering small appliances, this unassuming cable connects us to the world of electricity. Its simplicity is its strength - with just two pins and a flexible cord, it effortlessly carries electrical current and allows us to tap into the energy that drives our devices.

One interesting aspect of the 2-pin power cable is its universality. It seems like no matter where you go in the world, you can almost always find an outlet that matches this simple design. This standardization has simplified power supply logistics and made it easier for manufacturers to produce devices for global consumption. It's also worth noting that despite being widely used, these cables often go unnoticed by users who take their reliability for granted.

Another fascinating feature of the 2-pin power cable is its potential for customization and personalization. While most people are content with using generic cables that come with their devices, there is a growing market for specialized and aesthetically pleasing options. Some companies now offer cables in various colors or patterns to match individual preferences or blend seamlessly with home decor. This customization not only adds a touch of personal style but also offers practical benefits such as easy identification when multiple cables are plugged into an outlet.

Although often overlooked, the 2 pin power cable plays a vital role in keeping our electronic gadgets up and running smoothly. Its simplicity and compact size make it an indispensable accessory for any tech-savvy individual.

Is it safe to use a 3 pin power cable on a 220v to 110v transformer for a water distiller? As long as the transformer is rated for your distiller's voltage and power consumption, yes. However, it's important to follow all safety precautions when using a transformer to avoid overloading and overheating. You should always check the manufacturer's specifications for your specific device. And remember to always unplug your equipment when you're not using it. Otherwise, you could cause a short circuit that can result in damage to your device or personal injury. Also, you should only use an extension cord or adapter that is rated for the voltage and wattage of your transformer. It's also a good idea to keep your power cords as short as possible to prevent overheating. You should also avoid using an extension cord that is damaged or frayed. You should never attempt to repair a power cord by yourself, as it may expose you to high levels of electricity and cause injury or even death. Instead, contact a professional electrician to inspect and repair the power cord for you.

Dying, Surviving, Living

{AN:  There are three places within the story that mark songs that should be played. They are marked as follows: *, **, ***.} 

*This is what dying feels like

He realizes it as he breathes, lungs burning with every inhale and exhale, vision blurring at the edges and mind desperately working to stay awake, alive, for one more breath, one more slow blink, just one more…

He’s left a message for Pepper, the last of his energy fading as he watches the slow creep of space, the icy cold of it pressing against the glass.

There’s no way out of this, he knows.

This is what dying feels like.

“Mr. Stark? Hey, Mr. Stark!”

His eyes flutter open with a sigh. He wasn’t really asleep even though he’s exhausted, he’s too worried about going to sleep and never waking up. It’s probably the kindest way to die, but there’s some primal part of him that screams to fight, to keep breathing, even as it burns.

Through hazy half drooping eyes he squints at the figure crouched next to him.

“Hey! You know Mr. Stark, you should really get something to eat, you don’t look so good.”

A tired smile curls his lips and he sighs, nodding. “Probably right about that kid. Nothing left to eat though.”

“Oh.”

“Don’t worry Pete, it’ll be okay.”

Peter smiles at him softly, kindly. “Sure it will Mr. Stark. Especially if you attach that coupler to the filtration unit from your suit and use it to recycle the air in here.”

Eyes widening, Tony stares dumbly at him and then collapses back against the hull of the ship, laughing. It’s tinged with hysteria and feels too loud, but it’s a release valve for the grief and anxiety that’s been welling inside him for days.

“Quit talking to the dead Stark, we’ve got work to do.”

A foot connects with his shin and he looks up, glare sliding away into confusion when he sees Nebula standing over him with a disgusted look.

Peter is gone….which makes sense, as he was never really there to begin with.

It hits him again, that the kid is dead and it’s fault and he wants to vomit and scream and curse, or maybe just die because then he wouldn’t have to feel this agony.

Nodding, he takes the hand Nebula offers him, grimacing as he goes lightheaded and his heart squeezes in his chest painfully.

As they walk away, he feels ghostly fingers on his neck and shudders at the whisper he knows only he can hear.

Don’t give up Mr. Stark, I need you

This is what dying feels like.

---------------------------------

By some miracle they cobble together the parts from his suit to the air purification system and within a few hours it’s noticeably easier to breathe. There’s still nothing to be done about the lack of food or water, but he’s been studying the life support systems and he thinks he might have a solution soon.

“What if we filter the waste system and purify it into potable water?”

He hums, “Not a bad idea kid,” he agrees, avoiding the look he knows Nebula is shooting him.

So what if he’s seeing and hearing Peter? He’s going to die and if it means he gets to have him around, well, he’ll take it. Even if it does leave him guilt ridden and sobbing when the kid does disappear.

He’s never gone long, maybe a few hours at the longest, and Tony can’t write it off as oxygen deprivation anymore, this is just him, going straight up crazy.

He tried blocking Peter out for all of an hour, chest aching as the kid asked in a soft, wounded voice what he had done wrong. After that he had decided being crazy was better than being alone.

He and Nebula fiddle with the waste filtration system for hours until finally, it’s producing clean, drinkable water. The first glass they share is warm, tastes a little like greenery, but it’s still better than nothing.

Tony tears up when they drain the glass, his thirst raging to life in the back of his throat. It’s like a desert, aching for relief but for now he ignores it. The system needs to cycle a few more times and he’s exhausted, so he heads to the little nest he’s created, draws a blanket around himself and watches the universe slip past.

He wonders if Pepper’s even alive to get his message, if anyone he knew and loved is left.

“You look tired Mr. Stark, why don’t you rest?”

He sighs and rolls his chin to find Peter reclining against the opposite wall, concern on his kind young face. He smiles at the kid, heart aching with how much he misses him and his pop culture references and wide eyed enthusiasm for just about everything Tony says or does.

“Hey kid. Was going to sleep now, that sewage filtration idea of yours was a good one though, thanks.”

“Sure Mr. Stark! Why don’t you close your eyes, I’ll keep watch.”

Tony would protest that it isn’t possible for him to keep watch, that he’s not real, but he’s so tired he can’t even form an argument so he closes his eyes and sinks down.

A moment later he feels fingers running through his hair and he leans into it, tears rolling from behind his closed eyes.

“I miss you Peter.”

“I’m right here Tony.”

No you’re not

He doesn’t say it, but it’s heavy in the air between them.

This is what dying feels like.

-----------------------------------------------

It’s entirely by luck that they make it back to Earth. They come upon an abandoned ship floating through space and after a quick inspection, Nebula deems it travel worthy. They’re lucky enough that it has a warp drive that they utilize to get back in just a few hours.

They guide the ship to New York, the lightless, lifeless city below sending a shiver over his spine. Steve stares at him in shock, and then they’re lurching towards each other into a rough embrace, tears rolling down both their faces.

They’re a ragtag group, and their newest addition is a woman out of time, convinced that the way to beat Thanos is to go back, change things before they ever happen. He’s too tired to argue the possibility of creating a time anomaly, so he just nods along, eats his food and works on his suit.

He wanders the compound late at night, drinking too much, talking to Peter and wishing it had been him who had died instead. The kid is always close by, murmuring to him ideas for the suit or offering opinions on the fight to come.

If anyone notices the fact that Tony’s drinking too much and talking to a dead kid, they don’t say anything. Steve hesitates the first time he catches it happening and then asks nonchalantly what Peter thinks about trying to make Loki an ally when they go back.

After that there’s no question that despite the oddness of the situation, Peter is there to stay.

This is what surviving feels like; numbness, desolation, grief so deep it’s like a fathomless ocean.

Dying was better.

---------------

They succeed, miraculously, in going back. It’s startling to see himself looking so young, but soon they’re battling the Chitauri and capturing Loki and removing the mind control Thanos had placed him under, and then it’s on to the next step of the plan.

“Duck Mr. Stark!”

Tony dodges a blow from one of Thanos’s minions, barely missing being decapitated before Steve is lunging in and shattering its skull. They share a brief appreciative grin before they slide into combat once more, soaking to the skin in blood.

It stinks, sticks and dries uncomfortably, and when he’s in the shower, he scrubs his skin until it’s raw and red and still, he doesn’t feel clean. He collapses onto the tiles below him sobbing, gasping for air, arms wrapped around his middle, desperately trying to hold himself together.

Ghostly fingers brush against his forehead, and when he looks up it’s into Peter’s kind eyes, soft with concern and affection. “Just breathe Mr. Stark, just breathe,” he whispers, pulling Tony into his arms and holding onto him as he sobs.

“Shh, it’s ok. I’m here. Just breathe.”

This is what surviving feels like.

-----------------------------------

“You need sleep Mr. Stark.”

He nods. Takes another sip of whiskey.

“Sure kid, once I’m done here,” he agrees tonelessly.

Fingers brush through his hair and he can see him, from the corner of his eye, more real than he has any right to be, watching him with concern.

“Please? Come to bed?”

Tony swallows hard, shivers running over his skin as Peter’s hand covers the back of his neck, slim fingers brushing against his skin softly. Heat builds at the touch and he leans into it unconsciously, sighs when Peter’s thumb rubs soothing circles into his jaw.

“C’mon Tony, lets go to bed.”

So he does.

He follows his ghost to his bedroom and orders FRIDAY not to let anyone in and strips before crawling into bed, headache throbbing away behind his eyes.

He smiles when fingers brush his forehead, soothing and gentle. A kiss to his temple has him curling towards Peter, aching for more of the gentle touches. It’s wrong, he knows, to want Peter like this, even if he was real, it would be wrong—age of consent be damned.

He’d always made sure he brushed off the hero worship and the too long stares the kid sent his way—he’s fucked up, but he’s not that fucked up...right?

Peter’s hand tilts Tony’s chin, warm brown eyes smiling at him before he leans down and presses his lips to Tony’s.

“Go to sleep Mr. Stark, I’ll keep you safe.”

He does, with Peter’s fingers raking through his hair and his quiet voice humming softly a tune that Tony knows, but can’t remember.

---------------------

“I’m just saying! Should we really be relying on a guy who’s talking to a dead kid?”

The room goes silent, tension in every body as they all either studiously look away or glance over at him.

He can’t even blame Rocket, as weird as it is to say, because yea, he’s not the most stable, but he’s holding it together. And that’s all he has to do, keep holding on until they get everyone back.

Once he gets Peter back—and Pepper—he reminds himself forcefully, it’ll all be ok again. He just has to fix what’s broke—himself included.

Steve shakes his head at the raccoon, “Tony knows what he’s doing. I trust him with my life.”

Tony looks at the other man in surprise, but nods his thanks. They’ve come a long way since he returned to Earth, but they have further to go. Eventually he gets up and leaves the conversation behind—he doesn’t actually care if they think he’s sane or not, so long as they fix this, it doesn’t matter.

“It does matter Tony...you have to hold on. Don’t let go of who you are,” Peter pleads softly as he messes with the nanites in his lab, hands shaking at the sound of Peter’s voice. It’s been a few days and he had started to worry Peter was gone.

“I’m never gone Tony. I’ll always be here for you.”

Tears blur his vision and he sobs, curling in on himself as Peter’s arms wind around his shoulders and pull him into his chest.

His lungs feel like they’re shredding, copper heavy on his tongue as he bleeds out inside, heart cracking inside its cage between his ribs. He wishes he could rip it out and leave it on the floor, useless broken thing that it is.

This is what surviving feels like.

---------------------

It takes all of them to fight Thanos, the battle bloody and ruthless, but eventually they kill the mad Titan and take the gauntlet to be destroyed in the same place it was made. The stones are destroyed, despite Strange’s wariness to lose them—convinced they could be used for good—an idea Tony would have agreed with once upon a time.

Before Thanos.

Before Peter dissolved into ashes before his eyes.

Before he had to hear him plead with Tony—please Mr. Stark, I don’t wanna go!

Across the universe order is restored, loved ones lost return. He watches as Steve and Bucky embrace, Quill and Gamora reunite, T’Challa and Okoye...person after person...stomach plummeting when neither Pepper nor Peter appear before them.

He’s failed.

His heart turns to ice in his chest, numbness spreading through him and he leans a little heavier into Nat, her eyes wary on him, too knowing for his liking, but he can’t...he can’t do this anymore.

----------------------

** Steve decides to stay in the 40’s with Peggy—no longer a man out of time. When he offers his shield to Bucky there’s a collective moment of shock before the man nods and takes the iconic piece of vibranium, the mantle of Captain America passed on.

They return to their timeline, broken, battered and bruised and as the team celebrates he slinks away from the rest of the group, everything too loud and bright.

Surviving sucks.

The door to his quarters shuts with a soft metallic sound, the lock engaging a moment later and an order to FRIDAY will ensure his solitude. He plans on getting blindingly drunk and sleeping for a week, celebration be damned.

He chuckles bitterly; what do they have to celebrate?

Steve is gone.

Thor is gone.

Peter is gone.

The strongest, bravest, best members of the Avengers, lost, forever.

A sob hitches in his chest as his eyes burn, tears welling up. Is this surviving? He hates it. Doesn’t want it.

“Mr. Stark?”

Head whipping up, he blinks through his tears and finds the familiar figure of Peter Parker, sitting on the edge of his bed.

Smiles tremulously.

“Hey kid, glad to see you’re still with me.”

Peter’s brow furrows, “I...I mean, yea, of course Mr. Stark, always.”

Tony manages a weak smile and pours himself a drink, sips the burning liquid and shudders as it spreads through him.

“Are you—should you drink like that?”

 Tony snorts and turns back to the kid, “I’d say I earned it, don’t you think? Saving the universe and all?”

 “Yea, but, why are you still not happy?”

Tony half sobs and stares at him incredulously. “Happy? Kid, how could I be happy? You’re gone! Dead! And the only reason I’m seeing you is because I’ve finally gone flat out fuckin shit house crazy!” he shouts, “Do you get it? I’m broken! I-I’ll never be Iron Man again. I’m done!”

Peter stares at him, aghast, confusion and hurt staining his face. “Mr. Stark…”

“No! No...I can’t Peter. I need...fuck, I need you...but if you stay…” Tony shakes his head ruefully and laughs bitterly, wipes at the tears on his face, “I’ll jump out that fuckin window someday. I can’t live not having you. I can’t remember that I failed you every time I look at you.”

He’s pleading now, frozen heart shattering in his chest as he begs his ghost to stop haunting him.

“Please Peter, please go. Please.”

There are tears on Peter’s face now too and Tony sobs, swallows down a gulp of whiskey and curses, fills the glass again with fumbling hands.

“I’m not dead.”

Tony stills for a moment and then shakes his head. “You are. This is just my fucked up mind trying to give me what I want.” He exhales shakily, “But I can’t have you kid. You’re not real.”

“Please Mr. Stark, I promise I’m real!” Peter begs, half sobbing now too.

Tony whirls and glares at him, “Stop! S-Stop torturing me!” he snarls, “I can’t love you and not have you,” he hisses, “Don’t you get it?!”

Peter stares at him wide eyed as Tony breathes unevenly, tears in his eyes once more. The kid shoots to his feet and stalks over, grabs the glass of whiskey and chucks it at the wall, both men startling at the crash.

“I am not dead,” Peter tells him lowly, firmly. Reaches out and grabs Tony’s wrist, holds on as he tries to fight. “Feel that? I’m real dammit!”

Tony shakes his head furiously, yanking on his wrist even as part of him remembers that when Peter touched him it had been like a gentle breeze on his skin—fleeting and barely there.

This is...real.

Alive

Warm

Tony stills as Peter’s hands tighten around his wrists, dark eyes gazing up at him steadily, determined.

“I’m real,” he whispers, “I promise.”

A half choked sob punches out of Tony and he tugs a hand free, shaking as he reaches out to touch Peter’s face. The boy smiles and leans into it, warm and solid and real against his palm.

“Peter?” Tony whispers hoarsely, painful hope burning inside him, and he knows, it’s either real, or he’s so far gone it doesn’t matter anymore. If he’s so crazy that he’s able to touch his hallucinations, he’s going to lock himself away in a remote location and live out his days in pleasant insanity.

“Have you ever been able to touch me before? When I was gone?” Peter reasons, likely seeing the hope and disbelief warring on Tony’s face. Some part of him appreciates the reminder to use that analytical brain of his and he shakes his head slowly, recalling every time Peter had ever touched him.

He can smell Peter now too—cologne musky and warm, the soft scent of honey and lavender from his shampoo, all things he hadn’t been able to sense before.

“I could be having a break from reality,” Tony reasons, voice hoarse and low.

Peter nods and tugs him toward the door. “Let’s see if anyone else can see me,” he suggests, “Rhodey wouldn’t lie.”

Tony nods slowly and lets the kid tow him out of the room and back towards the celebration. The remaining teammates look up, shock silencing the room and hope burns brighter in Tony.

“Can you see me Rhodey?” Peter asks, smiling at Tony’s oldest friend.

The older man nods disjointedly, a smile beginning to creep onto his face. “Y-yeah kid, I see you.”

Tony’s fingers tighten on Peter’s wrist, “Rhodes, you sure?” he demands, voice breaking on the last word. If this is just a delusion...he can’t. He won’t survive it.

Rhodey nods again and reaches out to poke Peter in the chest, bright laughter boiling out a moment later. “Yea Tones, I’m sure.”

The dam inside Tony shatters and he curls inward with a sob, swaying dangerously till Peter grabs onto him, pulls him into his arms and holds him as he weeps.

A storm of grief and euphoria devastates Tony, the reality of the young man holding him up too much for his broken heart and broken mind to handle. Peter carefully guides him back to his rooms, hushing him gently as he applies a little strength and makes Tony sit on his bed.

He strips Tony of his shoes and socks, pulls his jeans off and slides his button down shirt off till he’s in his briefs and a tank, shivering as he sobs. Peter hastily sheds his own clothing and slides into bed beside Tony, murmuring softly for FRIDAY to darken the room.

When Tony panics at the sudden darkness, sobbing and clutching at Peter, he urges FRIDAY to turn on a nightlight, low and golden around the edge of the ceiling. When Tony can see him again he settles some, arms banding tightly around his waist as he buries his face into Peter’s shoulder.

His heart breaks for his friend, mentor, love of his life really. He hadn’t known how deeply his death had affected Tony, and now he wishes he had a way to take it all away—the pain, the grief, the loneliness.

As Tony quiets slowly, he runs his fingers through his hair, murmuring soft words of affection and assurance. When Tony finally falls asleep, Peter watches him, tracing the deep lines in his brow and the dark circles beneath his eyes.

Tony had survived losing him, but at the cost of his sanity and health. He’ll make sure that Tony learns to live again, in time.

------------------------------------------

*** The sun shines down, drying out the red earth below, the scent of rosemary and lemon heavy in the air.

Tony shifts and Peter glances over at him, smiling when the older man sighs softly in his sleep, face relaxed and tanned from weeks in the Tuscan sun. He watches Tony sleep for a few minutes before turning his attention back the screen in his hands.

He’s been reviewing after action reports for the teams since he and Tony left for Italy three months ago. The UN hadn’t been pleased to receive notice of Iron Man’s retirement, nor the notice that Spider-Man would be taking a vacation for an indefinite amount of time unless an imminent global threat arose.

The rest of the team and the Guardians had things well in hand, and he wasn’t about to leave Tony.

Not now.

He and Tony had arrived in Italy just two weeks after the return of the Avengers and the restoration of the universe. Ross had tried to accuse them of being lazy, self indulgent or cowards, that was until every member of the Avengers and Guardians had threatened to refuse the call if Ross and the UN didn’t support Tony and Peter.

Faced with losing earth’s best defenders yet again, the capitulation from those in power had been swift.

A distant rumble of thunder draws Peter’s gaze to the horizon. It’s been weeks without rain, the earth so dry he can hear it cracking under his feet when he walks out into the orchard each morning, the creak of the branches in the wind dry and lifeless.

He hopes the rain lasts like they say it will, a slow steady soaking that will bring life to the earth once more.

He leaves Tony to sleep while he pads barefoot into the kitchen, his hands moving almost mindlessly as soft music plays from the record player in the other room. The house belongs to Tony’s family—the whole town really—and it’s littered with photos of his mother as a teenager, smiling brightly, laughing and dancing, and he knows it makes Tony’s heart ache to see them, but it’s a good ache, he thinks.

The roast chicken recipe is one of Tony’s Nonna’s, the picture of her and her husband watching over the kitchen—her dark eyes and wry smile reminiscent of her grandson. He sees Tony everywhere in this place—in the faces of his family and the updates he’s made to the electrical grid, to the flawless Italian that he speaks when they venture into town.

Thunder rumbles louder and when he glances out the window the clouds are much closer now. He can feel the air pressure changing, the temperature falling and a shiver runs over his skin, senses tingling. There’s anticipation in the air—of the storm to come, of all the things the future holds, and it makes him yearn for something unsaid.

Drying his hands on his shorts, he heads out to rouse Tony, a light hand on his brow and brush of his lips against Tony’s.

“Wake up Tony,” he whispers against his lips, “storm is coming.”

Tony’s beautiful eyes flutter open and a slow smile curls his lips.

“Mio caro,” he whispers, voice husky from sleep, face soft and open.

Peter smiles and kisses him again, “Hey,” he whispers, taking Tony’s hand as he rises from the patio chair and tugs him inside as the first drops of rain start to fall.

When he glances back droplets of water glisten in Tony’s dark hair and there’s a yearning, hungry look to his gaze that has nothing to do with chicken.

Peter shivers.

This is what living feels like.

------------------------- 

Rain patters down on the clay roof, the air chill against the sweat on his skin, lightning flashing to illuminate the dark eyes staring back at him.

Tony breathes deeply beneath him, hands trembling where they rest on his thighs as Peter rides him, slow and steady. This isn’t even about coming, it’s a need for connection, a yearning for that feeling that comes when Tony gasps his name like it’s oxygen for his drowning lungs.

He grabs Tony’s hand and lifts it to press against his sternum, the steady thrum of his heart against Tony’s calloused palm enough to make the other man whisper his name, adoration glowing in his eyes.

He’ll never tire of that—of the way Tony looks at him, of how he holds him, loves him. It’s too hard fought for, this love of theirs, for him to ever let it go.

Fingers curling in thick curls, he leans down and kisses Tony, sharing a gasp as the action has Tony’s cock dragging over his prostate. A choked off wrecked little noise barely makes it past his lips as he kisses Tony again and rolls his hips harder, chases that sensation.

Thunder rumbles loud enough to vibrate through the walls, the tremble of it shuddering over his skin and down his spine as he arches back up, fingers pressing into the scar on Tony’s chest where the arc reactor used to be.

I love you Tony he whispers, love you, love you, love you

Tony’s head falls back as Peter leans in again to press kisses to his throat, raindrops sliding down the window panes and blurring the world outside.

He tastes like sweat and sun and lemon and Peter knows that however many years they have left together, it’ll never be enough.

He’ll always want more.

Tony gasps his name, hands desperate on his skin as Peter rolls his hips, bodies slick and hot against each other, soft cries filling the room alongside the hush of the rain.

Please, Peter, need you, please Tony whispers, voice breaking as tears glisten in his eyes. Peter hushes him gently and leans up for a kiss, soft and gentle, lips parting on moans as they move faster now, that warm familiar ache building where their bodies meet.

Tony cums inside him with a low cry, body arching into Peter’s as he half sobs, clutches at him desperately, face tucked into Peter’s neck so his hot, unsteady breaths wash over his skin.

The sensation of Tony’s release is one Peter will never get used to—it’s like carrying a piece of his lover inside him, warm and comforting and completing. Like he’s whole for the first time in years.

He didn’t know how he could miss something he had never had before he and Tony made love, but it’s that—love—that he’s been yearning for his whole life. It’s different than the love he has for May, it’s deeper, consuming, like a string has been tied under the left side of his ribs, deep inside him, stretching across space and time to where it’s knotted beneath Tony’s, and if they go too far apart, it would snap.

Lightning flashes and Peter holds Tony’s gaze as he cums too, shaking and gasping before he’s capturing those lips in his, desperate and needy as he rides out the last of his release. Thunder pounds against the stucco of the house and inside his chest, heart pounding as it begs to fly free and up into the night.

He collapses against Tony, sighing as he presses his lips to the sweaty crown of his head.

“I love you,” he whispers, barely loud enough to cause a vibration in the air, but he knows Tony hears him because his hands tighten on his skin, possessive and loving.

Il mio amore...mio caro...il mio cuore

Tony whispers it in his ear, voice hoarse, and Peter can smell the salt of his tears, hear the irregular beat of his heart, feel the warmth of his breath...every inch of him trembling with love.

Leaning up slightly he smiles softly at Tony, kisses away his tears and presses his forehead with Tony’s.

My love...my darling...my heart

This is what living feels like.

------------------------

Okay my loves, this is the story I started when I first discovered Starker, and I have to say, it’s my favorite thing I’ve written for this ship. There are three places within the story that mark songs that should be played. They are marked as follows: *, **, ***. I encourage you to listen to the songs--even if you aren’t a classical music nerd like me!! Hopefully you’ll love it, and even if you don’t I hope you gain a little appreciation for my favorite composer! 

I hope you all enjoy the story and the music as much as I do!

KSP Loading... Our New Dev Diary!

Welcome to the first edition of our official newsletter, KSP Loading… !  Do you want to get the latest news about everything KSP? Then here is the place to be. In KSP Loading… we will share all current developments of KSP intermittently between each update and more, so without further ado, let’s begin!

Update 1.6

As you probably know by now, we are currently working on update 1.6 as part of our plan to deliver quarterly updates. These quarterly updates will keep offering exciting new content that will enhance our players’ game experience, as well as overall improvements to performance and bug fixes. A key aspect of our work in recent months has been in limiting the impact on mods.  As many of you have noticed, the majority of mods that worked on 1.4 did so for 1.5 as well. That’s not to say there won’t be any issues with existing mods when there are updates, but we will continue with this effort as we know that mods are an essential part of KSP and of what makes it great.

Part Catalogue Revamps

Fuel Tank Adapters

For the last couple of weeks we have been teasing throughout our social media channels bits and pieces of what we are preparing for update 1.6 and, as you have seen, we are continuing the revamping effort of the part catalogue; focusing particularly on giving life to older parts that aren’t optimized or simply look outdated. One of such parts is the Kerbodyne ADTP-2-3 Adapter. The purpose of this adapter was to accommodate the Rockomax and the Kerbodyne S3 fuel tank series, but it never really matched with the designs of either tank series. With a total remaking of the adapter’s diffuse, normal, and specular texture maps, as well as with the introduction of a brand new variant, this adapter will now seamlessly blend between these two tank series and its variants. We are looking into the possibility of giving the ADTP-2-3 Adapter fuel carrying capabilities as it has been suggested by the community.

Other adapters that received the good ol’ makeover treatment are all three TVR Stack Couplers. After the introduction of new variants for the the FL-T tank series in update 1.4, these adapters no longer match the tanks they were supposed to fit. Therefore, we needed to revise the TVR series and create brand new diffuse, normal, and specular texture maps for them to combine with all of the different versions of the FL-T tank series.

Similarly, both the FL-A5 and the FL-A10 Adapters got a well-deserved makeover. Designed for connecting 1.25m parts to 0.625m parts, these adapters got their UV maps optimized and received new diffuse, normal and specular texture maps. Additionally, a new variant that will match with the orange FL-T tank series was included.

As part of this adapter renovation effort, the team also gave both the Rockomax Brand Adapters a well-deserved face-lift. Both parts got their UV maps optimize, brand new texture maps and a new variant to combine with the orange FL-T tank series. The geometry of the large Rockomax Brand Adapter was also updated to give it a smoother shape.

The new Spark

The team also gave the iconic 48-7S “Spark” Liquid Fuel Engine a full-fledged aesthetic makeover. We wanted to enhance this engine’s versatile nature by including 3 very different variants that will also increase the customizability of your creations. The geometry was completely redone and the detail of the tubing of the engine was carefully crafted. New textures were also created for this part and a new emissive texture for the throttle animation was added.

The Mk2 Lander Can

We also took the opportunity to give Sean’s Cannery Mk2 Lander Can a brand new face-lift. We wanted this command module to be more in-line with comparable parts, so we reduced its mass and added a second top hatch. In an attempt to broaden the creation possibilities with this part we also added a third attach node to the back of the module and included a slimmed down ‘butter stick’ variant ideal for manned rovers. The default variant, on the other hand, will have a pair of built in service bays. The IVA view of this command module is also being worked on to match with its new look.

New Features

Activate Navigation to a Launch Site

Visual enhancements aren’t the only thing that have been on our agenda. In fact, there is a quality of life feature coming to update 1.6 that will help any stray pilots find their way back to any Launch Site or Runway. From the Map View players will now be able to activate the navigation system towards the KSC, the Woomerang Launch Site, the Island Runway, Dessert Launch Site or any mobile Launch Site set by a mission creator. Activate Navigation to a Launch Site will target the chosen location and add a navigation mark in the NavBall.

The Bug Hunt

Additionally, we have spent some time in the bugtracker identifying bugs that needed to be mercilessly squashed. For starters, in order to have more consistency between modes, the team made an adjustment to the SAS functionality on probes in Sandbox and Science game modes. Some of these probes had full SAS functionality in these modes, even though their description said otherwise, and these adjustments correct this. However, the SAS functionality on probes will be togglable from the game settings, with the old behavior being the default setting. The dV calculator in the burn time indicator included in update 1.5 had some bugs, and the team went straight ahead to figure out what the problems actually were, and of course fixed them. This included fixing the handling of docking ports and multiple nuclear or ion engines within the new Burn Indicator functionality. The flashing of the Burn Indicator and the display of dV before the launch of a vessel was also a problem that we fixed in the past weeks. Moreover, the Vernor Engines now use Liquid Fuel and Oxidizer correctly on the Engineering report, and we also fixed an issue that drained the fuel from tanks when the fuel availability icon was double-clicked. These are only a few examples.

KSP Enhanced Edition

In other news, we want to let console players know that  KSP Enhanced Edition is getting a substantial update that among other things includes many improvements and an update to Unity 2017, which will improve performance. We will be sharing the process with you and revealing the content of this update in the upcoming months.

A new Website is coming!

We are also working hard on giving our website a new, sleeker look. Soon, you’ll be able to see the results for yourself; we are eager to see what you think.

Meet the team

We also want to take this opportunity to introduce you to our new Lead Artist, Rafael “Stylushead” Gonzalez. You have already seen his work these past weeks, including the new Key Art, the Halloween images and many things included in update 1.5. Here are a few words from him:

I was born and raised in Mexico City. I worked in the animated movies industry for nine years, most of that time as an art director, supervising from concept art to final product, illustration is my expertise, always mixing different techniques from 2D and 3D and sometimes traditional.

I love video games and movies and everything involved in their development. Also I work from time to time in webcomics as a colorist. I joined the Kerbal team as lead artist during the KSP 1.5 release and since then I have been producing, learning and enjoying a lot!

Ghouls in Jool Halloween Challenge - The best short stories!

Even though Halloween is behind us, we want to share with all of you some of the best short stories we were delighted to receive in the Ghouls in Jool Halloween Challenge. The challenge consisted of submitting spooky short stories based in the Kerbal universe and...oh boy… did we get some chills… Unfortunately, we couldn’t fit all stories here, but if you’re in the mood to read what our fantastic community came up with, click here.

Here are what we thought were the top three stories. Enjoy!

1.- “The Heart of Jool” by Ultimate Steve

Falling. Deeper and deeper, away from everything I have ever known. Falling through the flashes of lighting. Will I be struck, or crushed? Kerbin. So far away now. I am the first witness of Alien Thunder. Will I be the last? The only? And how long until I meet death? Gravity. I can feel it everywhere. Jool, pulling me closer still. The helmet creaks. The others would never hear. The ones who died along the way - The helmetless pilot. The crushed engineer. The scientist locked outside. Whoosh. And the world drew Golem Thirteen to its ultimate fate. Noises, growing louder ever still. But always, nothing But the menacing fog around the Heart of Jool. Until a voice, Menacing, kind, Evil and holy, speaks out from the void above. Hello. No - it couldn't be! The ancient legend was true! Have I met Evil? Tell me, child, what do you know of me, the Deep Space Kraken? The devourer of ships, destroyer of worlds, the embodiment of Death. Yours truly - but have none considered a force stronger than I? Which? Regret. CRACK! Long ago I destroyed ships, devoured worlds, killed mercilessly. My helmet gives way, great Kraken! In moments I shall meet Death! I met Death long ago, banished by the Universe to the Heart of Jool. And tell me, great Kraken of Deep Space, what do you mean by this? Child, With power comes destruction. At the top I ruled dust. I fell. From everything, wishing I could go back to mend it. Wishing the dust would absolve my crimes. In you I see me. And unlike me, I can save you. Pop. The visor gave way to the intense aether, crushing instantly. The last I would see, before my final toxic breath, would be The haunting yet noble face of the Kraken of Deep Space Against the backdrop of the cruel, unrelenting Heart of Jool. HOLD! T Minus Five. The launch pad. But how? The crew, all still alive. Golem Thirteen would stay on the ground. And then was a sound. Indeed, it was The Kraken of Deep Space. Gone in a blink, he said Goodbye and nothing more, with a smile that shook me to the core. But I am now certain I will remember that great regretful ghoul. The one who saved me from the void in the Heart of Jool.

2.- “Clank” by Blasty McBlastblast

Clank!

Startled, research forgotten, the two scientists looked up. They had both definitely heard it this time. This time it was undeniable.

“Okay, maybe you weren’t dreaming earlier” apologised Jedfen, but neither of them seemed pleased by this prospect.

Jedfen and Hencott were familiar with all the regular noises of Outpost V., but this noise was not one of them. They knew the steady whirring of the solar arrays as they tracked the sun, the hum-thud of antennae realigning, and the wet slap of sloshing fuel. Clanking was something new, and it was coming from outside!

Clank!

The two locked eyes, panic growing at the realisation they were not alone. Something was knocking against the outside of their laboratory!

“Should we call mission control?” suggested Hencott

“We can’t” replied Jedfen, wondering if Hencott’s stupidity might be higher than indicated, “Did you forget that it’s night here for two more days? We need to be facing sunward to get a signal to Kerbin”

“Maybe the supply ship came back?” Hencott proposed weakly, but that ship had launched weeks ago, the kerbonauts were alone.

Clank!

“WE HAVE TO STAY CALM!!” shrieked Jedfen, momentarily losing his cool “What would Jeb do?”

“We need more information” said Hencott, taking deep breaths, “We need to know what is making the noise, one of us will have to go outside…”

Silently both Kerbals stood to face each other, and proceeded to play rock-paper-scissors…

Clank!

“That noise came from near the north window” Jedfen said into the handheld radio.

“Copy. Approaching now. I think I see someth…” but the staticky reply was cut short by a yelp! Then laughter! Then ominous silence…

Minutes passed, but the radio only hissed. Amidst rising dread Jedfen moved to the suit rack, compelled to go help, but he was too late! The airlock began to cycle, something was coming in! Armed with a jumbo-sized snack bar Jedfen prepared himself to defend the outpost.

Through dramatic billowing gasses Jedfen saw him step from the airlock, grinning, and holding something that was attempting to wriggle free. Looking closer, he saw cradled firmly in Hencott’s arms an adorable tiny rover!

“Where did that come from?!” he asked, tension dissolving into curiosity.

“Some earlier mission?” laughed Hencott, “I think it was trying to charge power by the window light! Can we keep it?”

“Control can’t say no if they can’t contact us!”

3.- “Fright Night at KSC” by StrandedonEarth

Every year during the three hundred and thirty-third night, mysterious things start to happen at the KSC. None of the KSC staff want to stay that night, as weird noises abound around the Center. The only exception is Mortimer Kerman, who gleefully volunteers to be the caretaker for that night, from his usual haunt in the Admin building. In the deserted Astronaut Complex, ghostly footsteps and flushing toilets are heard. The great radio dishes of the Tracking Station creak and squeal as they turn,  but only during that night. Pale apparitions are seen streaking down the runway, rising briefly before vanishing below the waves, while the big display screens at Mission Control fill with static.  Even though the VAB is shut down for that night, the cranes and other machinery start moving with nobody at the controls. Fire and smoke bloom on and around the empty launch pad as a muted roar is heard, and hundreds of tiny glowing krakens scurry around the Research and Development center. A steady tap-tap-tapping punctuated with whirring fills the Spaceplane Hangar, without a soul in sight. They call it "Sotreum ed Aid"

When day finally breaks on that seemingly endless night, everything grows quiet again, and Mortimer starts to look sad. The tiny glowing kraken all vanish without a trace. But when the brave kerbonauts start arriving at the Astronaut Complex, they are shocked to find all the kerbals that had been KIA during the last four hundred days sitting around, drinking koffee...

Honorable mentions: “Eyes in the deep” by Joshua Stubbles, “A few KSP super-short stories that are guaranteed to make grown kerbals hide under their beds and cry for mommy” by Swjr-swis, “Untitled” by KSK, and “Untitled” by qzgy.

Finally we want to remind you that you can share and download missions on Curse, KerbalX, the KSP Forum and the KSP Steam Workshop.

That’s it for this edition. Be sure to join us on our official forums, and don’t forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook. Stay tuned for more exciting and upcoming news and development updates!

Happy launchings!

RV Sewer Hose Expert Buying Guide: What You Exactly Need!

Checking for the most durable, multifunctional, and reliable, simple to mount, clean, and store waste outlet is essential. For you to find one, you need to know what your standard is needed and what peculiarities you should check. This insight will provide you with information that you need to weigh things out and decide easier. 

Features To Check/Factors To Consider

Length Of The Hose

The length of your best RV sewer hoses depend on your preferences. Most veteran outdoor campers and RVers tend to bring along with them two lengths of hose for convenience. This enables them to match their needs when it comes to connecting the RV to the sewage system.

Most RV sewer hoses come in a variety of sizes and lengths. There are those that come between 15-25 feet or more. And they are compatible with adding external hose extensions if needed.

Usage Frequency

There are two types when it comes to the best RV sewer hoses to select. These will vary depending on the frequency of usage and how often you will hit the road. If you go on a seasonal camping trip, best to find one regular type of waste hose.

While regular campers and RVers can go for a more expensive yet multifunctional, reliable, and heavy-duty waste outlet. It can be expensive but surely will be used longer compared to regular types of RV hose.

Durability And Materials 

Finding the right RV sewer hoses means you have to check with the materials used during manufacturing. This can determine the durability and efficiency of your RV sewer hoses.

From abrasion and puncture resistance to the thickness of the bayonet and its fittings, and flexibility to withstand the changing weather from outdoors. Your sewer hoses will be placed outdoors and will be connected to the sewage system.

Simple To Mount And Detached 

Convenience is a must-have factor for your sewer hose. Don’t just check for affordability. You might get one hose that is super cheap but makes your life more complicated than helping things out.

It is excellent to find highly efficient materials that provide convenience both when mounting and removal.

This vital RV gear is useful and helps keep a high sanitation level to your RV. It prevents unwanted smell due to waste that is not properly disposed of, either from the kitchen or the toilet. The sewer hose prevents contamination and provides cleaner surroundings and better RV experience until it’s time to go back home.

Whenever you will need to drain waste, all you have to do is attach the sewer hose to the campsite’s sewage system. Your sewer hose should have multiple functionalities that meet a variety of pipe sizes compatibility for ease and protection.

In summary, there are multiple ways on how you can use your sewer hose. 

Attaching the sewer hose from your RV holding and connecting into the sewage system provides hygiene and sanitation. 

It helps you to easily remove and drain waste into the sewage with proper sanitation and protection. 

It’s an investment that will keep your RV from smelling and keeping waste for a longer time. 

The sewer hose provides ease of operation, cleaning, and maintenance to your campervan, motorhome or RV. 

It helps you save money through proper disposal of waste that you can directly do without the need of any professional help. Unless necessary. 

Proper maintenance and care are needed to make sure that your sewer hose stays cleans, sanitizes, and lasts longer.

Types Of Sewer Hose

Checking for the types of sewer hose will greatly be categorized into three types. This enables you to determine what type of sewer you will need based on your preference or needs.

Width And Length 

Determining the types of sewer hose means you need to know what length or width would you prefer. While the standard length for most waste outlets is about 15 feet, you can always extend this to another 10 to 15 feet if you demand.

This is important when checking for hose types as you will know by yourself the distance needed from your Rv to the exterior sewage.

The width of your hose will vary from the sewage systems’ pipe size. It is best to find a kit that has variables to meet a variety of options with ease. That way, you can carry with you the right hose length and width in one piece.

Material Types 

Vinyl is one of the most durable materials to use with a sewer hose. This type of material is known for its multifunctional features that enable the sewer hose to stay longer and can withstand any temperature and weather conditions outdoors. The vinyl is also abrasion and puncture-resistance and bounces back to its original size even when run over or stepped on in the camping ground. You can check for the most durable and reliable vinyl materials.

Collapsible Types 

Collapsible types of sewer hose provide convenience and comfort not just when using it but through storage. With a collapsible hose, you can adjust its length based on the position of the exterior sewage and your RV waste holdings.

Once you are done with them camping, you can easily store your hose and keep it in a safe place until your next outdoor adventure. The best part about collapsible hose is you can either make it longer or shorter it by demand.

Disposing of your waste is such a tedious task. However, things will be a lot easier if you have the right sewer hose and the extra materials to do the job. Once you find the perfect hose, it’s time to dispose of your RV waste properly. 

Latex glove – They are hygienic and essential for you not to have first-hand contact with the waste. 

Waste outlet supports – The waste outlet support makes everything convenient and easy. It enables a complete draining process from your RV to the sewage. 

Macerator – The motorized grinder turns solid waste into slurry waste making it easier for disposal. Though macerators are best used if there are no available sewage systems. 

Transparent sewer adapter – We get it that not everyone will want to see everything that is coming out of the waste box. However, there are great advantages when it comes to using a translucent elbow sewer adapter. It enables you to see if you have completely drained the RV before disconnection. 

Flushing hose – This enables you to flush off your sewer with the use of a hose. This type of hose is similar to the once that you are using from your gardens. It is best to use an extra flushing hose that is used for RV sewer only. 

How To Mount Waste Outlet Without Leaks And Spills

For most RVers, if you can skip something throughout your trip, that would be the disposing and draining of the sewer into the exterior sewage area. Though no one will be of such fun doing this, you can make it easier, quicker, and safer for you. 

Here’s how you can do this easier like a pro. 

Step 1. Wear your disposable gloves. 

Step 2. Check that your RV valve sewers are closed. Don’t take the cover off unless you have closed the sewer valves, otherwise, you’ll get a splash of something you would never want to have, ever.

Step 3. Mount the waste outlet to the campervan or RV sewer fittings. Then connect the other end to the exterior sewage inlet. Secure both ends of the hose and fastened it properly. 

Step 4. Open the sewer or blank tank slowly. There will be good pressure once this tank is opened. Remember to always go for the black tank before draining the grey box. Check if there are any leaks while doing this process. 

Step 5. Open the tank that is grey like how you did with the black tank. Make sure to do it as slow as possible. Check if there are leaks. Close its valve once it’s completely drained.

Step 6. When you have finished draining all your tanks, secure the valves. 

Step 7. Unmount the waste outlet to the RV and put back its covering cap. 

Step 8. Collect the sewer hose and go near the sewage inlet. Don’t unmount it to the sewage system yet.

Step 9. Use a cleaning hose to spray water into the sewer hose to cleanse it. Spray water into the exterior surrounding as well. 

Step 10. Disconnect your waste outlet from the sewage ground system and put back the cap. 

Step 11. Store the hose into its right place. Make sure that you have cleaned and rinse the hose properly from any waste residue before storing it.

The water from your grey tank comes from your RVs kitchen and shower. The black containers are human waste which is from your RVs toilet. When you drain the black tank first, you remove the waste first from the toilet. Then the grey that contains all the water residue from the sink and shower will rinse your sewer hose.

That is why it is essential to drain the black water before the grey container box. Dispose your glove and wash your hands or sanitize your hands. Disinfecting the hose and the valve, sewage ground and even the sewer hose before storing protects you from contaminations and keeps your hose for longer use.

Where should my RV sewer hose be

There are intelligent ways to store the ‘stinky slinky\ with ease and style. Being creative has great points. However, if you’re not that type of person, you can just have a storage carrying box that is specially designed for sewer hose. Our top recommendations have their carry and storage boxes with them. Check it out!

What length RV sewer hose should I get

The standard length for most sewer hose is around 15 feet. Longer than that depends on your preference but regular outdoor campers and RVers carry along with them at least another extension hose as a backup gear.

You can go for a 15-20 feet waste outlet and an additional 10-15 feet durable and universal size one and you are set for a great adventure.

How do you shorten an RV sewer hose

There are different ways on how you can shorten your sewer hose based on your preference. However, before doing so, it is best to check if it’s necessary to do so. If you think you’ll need a shorter one, then you can cut it off.

Regular RVers tend to get standard length hose and an extension hose. That way, you’ll avoid cutting your hose and might regret it afterward. best to check for collapsible sewer hose which you can conveniently adjust the length, make it longer or shorter, without the need to cut it.

How do I connect my RV sewer hose to my adapter

The best way to connect your RV waste outlet to the adapter is to find the perfect fitting pipe/hose. Next, before connecting, make sure you have closed and secured the RV valves. This will prevent unwanted scenes from happening.

Once everything is closed, mount your sewer hose into the RV adapter and check the fittings. Then you can connect the other end of your hose to the outdoor camping sewage system. Secure and fasten both ends of the hose. When you are finished, you can start draining your RV holdings.

Conclusion

Draining the waste from your RV is not fun, in fact, it’s one of the tedious tasks that every RVer would never want to talk about. You need to find a reliable tool to make sure you have a safe, clean, sanitized way of draining your waste into the sewage.

Dewalt 6 Gallon Air Compressor

DEWALT DWFP55126 half dozen Gal a hundred sixty five PSI flannel-cake mechanical device options a high potency motor for simple commence in weather condition or electric cord application. Best 6 Gallon Air Compressor The high flow regulator and couplers maximize air tool performance, and an extended life oil free pump for maintenance free operation.

Actually, I may see a contractor victimisation this mechanical device within the field once they want the mechanical device to be nearer and smaller. I'm glad a spent some a lot of usd. I got what I required and it works well. keep in mind to calibrate your compressor!

I tested this mechanical device right out of the box. Since i used to be testing and required a replacement mechanical device hose, I used a replacement hose to fill tires with a gauged tire inflation tool. Plus, I tag my mechanical device before use. This means to empty it, choose it up and tilt it, then open the valve. At a hundred and sixty psi just about the air bursts out with quite an little bit of wet for such atiny low tank. The 2 fast connects that ar on this unit ar like my image shows. i am unsure what the fashion is termed.

The problem gave the impression to be undersize ball bearings within the fitting, which permit an excessive amount of free play between the fittings, providing some way for air to flee.

Best 6 Gallon Air Compressor

I'm still affected, however faraway from blown away. The necessary elements ar all o.k. created, however leaky fittings in Associate in Nursing compressor is borderline inexcusable from a corporation with this sort of name, likely attention to detail, and supposed product engineering focus.

Dewalt Pancake Compressor 6 gallon Motor cuts out at indicated tank pressure of a hundred forty five psi, however regulated output pressure will be raised all the high to a hundred and sixty psi. Manufacturer claims easy lay tank psi is a hundred sixty five. dissatisfactory to mention the smallest amount. When victimisation this mechanical device with the gauge, it maintained consistent inflation pressure for quite an couple of minutes before kicking on.

It additionally offers a a hundred sixty five easy lay PSI half dozen.0 gallon tank (22.7 L) and 2.6 SCFM delivered at ninety PSI pump, that permits long tool run time with fast recovery.

This unit additionally options a pair of universal couplers to simply support 2 users, and a ball drain valve for fast & thorough tank exhausting. Mine have fewer however larger ball bearings, enable no free play, and hold the hose fitting terribly tightly.

It has protecting rubber leg covers to forestall marring.

Rather than looking the the trouble of exchanging, shipping back, watching for a replacement, etc., I merely replaced each fittings with higher ones, that resolved the matter. Drain valve is placed not within the center bottom wherever the water/condensation accumulates, however rather on the facet of the tank on the subject of wherever your see the feet welded on. I paid a lot of for this mechanical device than the opposite brands however am terribly proud of it. I wished the C sort employed in most automotive applications therefore I had to get rid of the two fast connects from this mechanical device and alter them. I believe craft uses the fashion like I even have in my image, if so, you would possibly not have to be compelled to amendment them out like I did.

He aforementioned it'd not hurt it to try to to the break in procedure, however it absolutely was positively not necessary. I've had some air compressors over the years and used them for automotive repairs, furnishings building, upholstery, home comes, etc. The Dewalt half dozen gal a hundred sixty five psi compressor could be a well-built, top quality, machine that may fulfill nearly needing for the home-owner or contractor doing smaller comes. This unit offers a soft seventy five.5 dBA amplitude for a quiet work setting. A console cowl protects controls and is removable to permit simple repair.

Dewalt 6 Gallon Air Compressor

Imagine my surprise after I discovered each hose fittings were slowly unseaworthy air once hooked up to a hose and pressurised (leaking from the joint between the male hose mechanical device and feminine receiving finish of the fitting). Maybe mine was created on a Monday morning. designing on exchanging unit for an additional one. Gregorian calendar month three update- replacement unit arrived these days. Holds pressure well, accuracy of each gauges is dead on. Still laid low with the leaky fittings issue, that I addressed an equivalent method because the original unit. I'm a lot of happier currently that I even have a properly functioning unit, despite having to alter out the fittings... again.

It is comparatively quiet, and works even as I had hoped it'd. i'm a Dewalt fan and have several of their twenty and twelve V battery tools that all have worked nice on behalf of me. One issue of interest I will add. 165 PSI Pancake Compressor, It has a convenient twine wrap for simple storage, and its thirty avoirdupois unit weight makes it quite simple to carry/store. Please ensure that the drain valve is totally closed before victimisation the mechanical device. Like all DeWalt product, this one gave the impression to be designed and higher than the competition.

It's fairly loud however vast, will hash out it if you are not terribly about to the mechanical device. The regulator is variable and simple to regulate to the specified setting. This DeWalt one is rated at seventy five however it's a lot of of a Harley Davidson exhaust sound instead of a pitch race bike exhaust sound.

After reading all of the glowing reviews, i used to be expecting to be utterly blown away by the standard of this product. July 1 update- these days I noticed the tank gauge is off by concerning fifteen psi. I nearly failed to purchase this item as a result of it price quite the opposite (more popular) comparable offerings from Bostich and Porter Cable. on reflection i'm glad I did.

I scan on many reviews of alternative flannel-cake compressors that a prospect in procedure of running the motor with the drain open for quarter-hour was crucial for continued long run use. One issue concerning this mechanical device is that it's not as loud as alternative compressors an equivalent size and kind, however it's still not quiet. Wear hearing protection. But, it's still comparatively quieter than alternative models.

However when looking the directions fastidiously, I failed to see this demand. I known as Dewalt and was told that this was true for his or her older models however wasn't required for this model. He aforementioned simply begin victimisation it as you would like to right out of the box. Plus, testing with completely different nailers, it performed well. As always, I take a look at product completely before adding any review to Amazon. I've had varied little compressors and that they ar typically louder than the 80db rating they get, that top pitch reasonably noise that's onerous to speak over. hear youtube reviews of the many compressors and you may grasp what I mean.

Tips and tricks to remember while applying Polymeric sand

Properties’ outer look comes off beautifully and appealing to the eyes of visitors. When we go somewhere where we witness the amazing utilization of polymeric sand to adjust and maintain the pavers, we want to give applause of attention.

Times are gone when the patios and walkways were fixed as a formality and left broken for a long while in the future without enough care or maintenance. Today, with the help of polymeric sand and paver sealer, these formalities have become important and easy to pull off. Take a glimpse of a few tips and tricks to enjoying the application of Polymeric sand in the long-run—

Sand is the root element: do not knock it off with low-quality sand

PolySweep Polymeric Sand is quite different from any other form of sand. It is discovered to strengthen the ground and the paver outline. Thus, you mustn't choose low-quality polymers over the good quality ones. This is because low-quality polymers can lose the grip and destroy due to any climatic change like heavy rain. It is better to construct a strong patio at one time than redoing it again and again.

What’s the weather?

To the reader’s surprise, you cannot wake up one day and make a decision to redoing the patio with good-quality polymeric sand. As mentioned earlier, the weather or climatic change makes a difference for the patio and its good shape maintenance. Once, you have constructed the patio using polymeric sand, heavy rain can destroy your entire efforts.

Do not forget to do something about the GAPS

Once the paver of polymeric sand is finished, you will see the gaps between them. This gap is filled with normal sand. You can use a normal broom and allow the sand to go into the depth of the gap and settle. Furthermore, you can use another code of polymeric sand to make the paver flatter. The professional paver constructor utilizes pad or rolling compactor to fill this gap at a professional level.

Paver needs time to be fixed

When the paver is ready, you must not rush into walking all over it. As per the guidance of the professional paver sealers, the paver must not be walked over for 24 hours of construction. Alongside, one should not drive over the paver for 30 days. It allows the pavers to go strong and permanent. Otherwise, there is a risk of breaking.

Work Smarter by Choosing the Right Air Tools

Have you ever had a moment when you were burning the midnight oil and working a ratchet to bust a bolt loose wondering why you’re still without air tools? It is one of those things you keep on the Christmas list in your mind yet never make the investment in your time, which by the way you can never get back.

Invest in air tools and get precious lost time back. Air tools make your life as a hot rodder easier because they cut labor time significantly. Imagine being able to rattle a car apart quickly with the spin cycle madness of an impact in hours versus a ratchet with the sluggishness of human power.

Save time. Get back on the road quickly.

Let’s look at the basic types of air tools needed to get you started.

1/2-inch Drive Air Impact Wrench

3/8-inch Drive Air Impact Wrench

3/8- and 1/2-inch Impact Sockets

Extensions

Universals

1/2-inch Air Ratchet

3/8-inch Air Ratchet

Air Drill (3/8- and 1/2-inch, variable speed)

Titanium Drill Bits

Air Chisel Kit

Air Grinder

Die Grinder

Grinding Discs for both grinders

Heavy-Duty Air Hose (at least 30 feet)

Enough Quick-Disconnect Couplings for all air tools

Air Tool Oil

Ear Protection

Eye Protection

Face Shield

Gloves

Air tools have become more affordable because they’re being purchased in greater numbers by automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike. This means you get the volume discount and can have all of the same air tools professional automotive repair shops have. You can purchase an air compressor for under $500 to get you started. If you need volume for painting or media blasting you’re going to have to spend more money on a larger-capacity compressor. You want an air compressor that kicks on at 130 psi and shuts off around 150 psi because you need steady volume and a compressor that can keep up. Minimum pressure required for media blasting is no less than 90-100 psi, and that’s in just pressure alone.

You’re going to need a two-stage 5hp compressor with a 60-gallon tank to keep up with the heavy demand of extensive media blasting. One alternative would be a 2-horse 29-gallon unit, which will keep up with light-duty media blasting. Most air tools won’t require any more than a 30-gallon tank and a 2hp compressor.

There are three basic types of compressors you may encounter: reciprocating (piston), rotary screw (positive displacement), or centrifugal. Most common for home use is the piston type. You will find either direct-drive or belt-drive. Direct-drive (oiless) compressors are quite noisy. Belt-drive (cast iron or aluminum case, oil-filled) are more expensive yet offer quieter operation and brute ruggedness.

While you’re getting your compressor set up, invest in a water separator and pressure regulator. And remember, whenever you’re finished using your air compressor, switch the unit off and open the petcock underneath, allowing moisture to drain out with the air. This prevents tank rust from moisture accumulation inside. Never leave a compressor pressurized in an enclosed garage in the interest of safety. Compressed air is dangerous and potentially destructive if left unattended.

Air impact wrenches in 3/8- and 1/2-inch drive can be had for $100 each. Assorted air ratchets, die grinders, air chisels, and the like are also available at prices nearly anyone can afford from Harbor Freight and Summit Racing Equipment.

Although you do have a choice of air or portable electric power tools, with each having its advantages, air has the extra added bonus of available air volume when a battery has given up the ghost and has to be recharged. Air compressors can be household current or gasoline powered. Air tools as a rule are more durable than electric depending upon the brand and type. Air tools can take a beating for years and keep coming back for more.

There are five basic types of air motors used in air tools:

Rotary Vane

Axle Piston

Radial Piston

Turbine

Percussion

Rotary Vane air motors are the most common type of air tool motor. They make that whizzing sound you hear so often. There is a rotor with vanes that ride the inside of the outer wall of the motor housing. Compressed air pushes the vanes and rotor round-and- round. The rotor shaft turns an output shaft or a gearbox that transmits rotary motion through gears to an output shaft to multiply torque. The gears multiply torque.

Axle Piston air motors have pistons that run parallel to the rotor. They are a wobble plate design like you see in rotary air conditioning compressors.

Radial piston air motors look something like an old-time radial piston aircraft engine where pistons and cylinders are positioned around a central crankshaft. They develop a lot of torque and turn slowly.

Air turbine motors tend to be the highest winding air motors around, spinning upwards of 300,000 rpm. They don’t make a lot of torque, however, they’re high revving in tools like die grinders and drills. Die grinders are terrific for finite work where close attention to detail is required. You can mount cutting and grinding discs on them as well as wire wheels. They typically have a palm-triggered valve.

Percussion air motors are common to air chisels and hammers where rapid-fire reciprocation is needed.

The applications for air tools are limitless because air power (pneumatic) is used to do our work in so many ways. Garage air tools are but a tiny part of how air is used to do our work. There are literally thousands of applications out there for industrial use, some of which can be applied to your home shop.

Compressed Air and Your Safety We cannot stress enough the importance of safety during air tool use. Compressed air all by itself is dangerous. It can maim and kill. Never use compressed air to blow dust out of your clothes and hair. Debris can fly into your eyes, up your nose, or in your mouth. Air under pressure into the skin can penetrate your vascular system causing an air bubble in a vain or artery, which can be deadly in a matter of minutes when that air buddle reaches your heart. Horseplay with compressed air is also very dangerous. Did you know it takes just 4 psi to burst the lungs, stomach, or intestines? Treat compressed air with the same kind of respect you would show electricity.

Protect your face, eyes, and ears when you’re using air tools. The noise made by air tools is significant enough to cause serious hearing loss over the course of a lifetime. Wear gloves when you’re working with air tools to protect your hands.

We observe air tool use all the time at STREET RODDER and we find it remarkable the extent of air tool neglect and abuse all around the industry. Air tools, like any other tool in your arsenal, call for periodic maintenance if they are expected to survive and be safe. Invest in air tool oil and keep tools properly serviced. Gear cases and air motors require fresh lubrication from time-to-time, especially if you use your air tools aggressively.

Items like drill bits, chisels, grinding discs, and the like require regular preventative maintenance. Sharpen your drill bits and chisel tips periodically so they are ready for your use when the time comes. And when tools become worn out and unsafe discard them or have them serviced. Take care of your air tools and they will take care of you. SRM

Air tools make light work of nearly any task because they work faster than human hands. They’re also very efficient because they put compressed air to work for you with minimal electricity use and less weight. You’re going to want both a 3/8- and 1/2-inch drive air ratchets, which buzz fasteners in and out quickly and with less exhaustion for you.

We like these compact high-rpm disc sanders, which can be operated for hours without the heat and consumption of an electric motor. Air turbine sanders are more compact and lighter weight than electric. Screw-on or stick-on discs are easily replaced, enabling you to get right back to work.

Air impact wrenches in 3/8 and 1/2 inch get the heavy-duty work done. Spend the money and get high-quality air impact wrenches that will serve you well for years to come if you take good care of them along the way.

Most of you will need a 20-30-gallon compressor like this guy; the portable 2-horse Emax EMX-HP02P020SS air compressor from Summit Racing Equipment offers quiet operation and a maximum operating pressure of 125 psi. It operates on normal 110/115V household current. If you need the volume necessary to run a media blaster, a 5-horse, 60-gallon compressor is required and runs on 220/240 V of AC current.

There’s little reason to have 30 feet of air hose rolled up on the floor when you can store it in a manual or recoil hose reel. Craftsman retractable hose reels from Summit Racing Equipment are constructed from high-impact polypropylene. The 30-foot air hose winds up compactly inside the reel. This guy mounts on your garage wall well out of the way.

There are basically two or three different quick-disconnect air chuck types out there with different penetration depths. You will want a universal coupler on the air hose designed to work with most of them with the MIL-C-4109 spec. These are the smooth barrel “Tru-Flate” Automotive Interchange couplings.

This is the Industrial Interchange MIL-C-4109 quick disconnect, which seems to be more widely available in the marketplace. The Industrial Interchange connector has this angular lip, which provides a solid quick connection. There’s also the ARO Interchange (not pictured) connector, which is similar to this one. You want a receiver connector that will comply with all MIL-C-4109-spec connectors.

Merlin air tool couplers from Harbor Freight offer the enthusiast terrific performance because they connect and disconnect so easily. This I/M Series Male/Female Coupler Kit is constructed of high-strength steel and the quick disconnect is rated for 300 psi.

Every pneumatic system should have the ability to adjust air pressure and get both moisture and debris out of the system. Moisture can ruin a paintjob and damage air tools. You can extend the life of your air tools with this dual-purpose air filter and regulator. What’s more you get a push-button drain for easy, on-the-fly maintenance.

It’s a good practice to protect your eyes any time you’re working in the garage—be it working with simple hand tools or air tools because there are no second chances with an eye injury. Keep a couple pair of these impact-resistant safety glasses from Harbor Freight around the shop for easy access. You can never have too many, especially with a buddy helping out.

If you’re doing a lot of grinding and sanding, it is best to protect your face with this full-face shield from Harbor Freight, featuring a unique curved design that protects a larger area of your face without struggling with distortion. We like that you can use a respirator underneath for added lung protection. Never grind or sand without lung protection.

We see this all the time in shops and racetracks across the country where hearing protection isn’t taken seriously. From the time you are very young you must protect your hearing with industrial caliber ear muffs from Harbor Freight. These ear muffs will fit nearly anyone comfortably and you get to keep your hearing.

The time-proven Craftsman name is now available from Summit Racing Equipment. These 1/2-inch drive composite impacts are the optimum addition to your rollaway and they make light work of any job you have going.

You’re only kidding yourself to think you can use conventional sockets with an air impact wrench. They will break. These deep, 1/2-inch drive impact sockets reach the toughest fasteners with ease. The chrome molybdenum construction and black phosphate coating make these Pittsburgh sockets from Harbor Freight durable and rust-resistant.

We like these affordable extensions from Harbor Freight. This four-piece extension set extends your reach for easier access in tight spots. These extensions are constructed of rugged chrome vanadium steel and coated with black phosphate for corrosion resistance. They’re virtually impossible to break.

Once you have most of your air impact arsenal put together, finalize the plan with these rugged Pittsburgh universals from Harbor Freight. Every conceivable size is shown here in 1/4-, 3/8-, and 1/2-inch drive. And no matter what you may think, you’re going to need these for tight angles.

Needing your space? Check this out. This ultra-compact stubby air impact wrench from Harbor Freight packs a whopping 700 lb-ft of breakaway torque. The Earthquake XT makes it easier to reach challenging fasteners with a lot of power.

The AIRCAT composite short barrel air hammer with five-piece chisel set from Summit Racing Equipment has everything you need in one convenient kit. These high-performance air hammers are lightweight and ergonomically designed for comfort while tackling the toughest of jobs. You won’t have to look all over the garage for chisel attachments because it’s all right here.

Although there isn’t much call for a spark plug cleaner these days, what with improved lubricants and unleaded fuel, it’s nice to have one of these around. The Sunex Tools spark plug cleaner Summit Racing Equipment features a two-way valve that allows you to choose between clean air or a blast of abrasive silica media for fast-quick cleaning.

The Earthquake air ratchet from Harbor Freight is three-times faster than your garden variety air ratchet. It features a silencing handle exhaust for quieter operation. It also offers you a reactionless mechanism that stops operation when maximum torque is reached. Did you notice this air ratchet likes to be oiled daily? So do the rest of your air tools.

AIRCAT pneumatic tools from Summit Racing Equipment prove to all of us that an air tool doesn’t have to make a bunch of noise to be effective. This AIRCAT cut-off tool makes the power and torque you need without the racket that you don’t want. This is a nice piece with a shield to protect your face and body while yielding a clean cut.

Earlier, we mentioned the use of compressed air to blow away debris. This handy telescoping blow gun from Harbor Freight is optimum for removing dirt, debris, and dust from hard-to-access areas in machinery and equipment. The telescoping nozzle extends to 20-3/8 inches long to provide precise airflow exactly where you want it. As always, we advise caution along with face and eye protection while using blow guns.

Keep a bottle of air tool oil from Harbor Freight on the shelf and remember to use it. The same can be said for cutting discs, drill bits, chisels, and grinding wheels. Keep plenty of them on hand even if you’re not sure you’re going to need them anytime soon

Resist the urge to push a grinding or cutting disc beyond its normal service life. We’ve seen these discs and wheels fly apart, causing injury only because the operator didn’t want to spend money on a new cutting disc. It makes more sense to spend the money.

Your air tool crib can include body preparation tools like orbitals sanders, buffing motors, grinders, and conventional disc sanders. Air sanders provide unending smoothness compared to their electric counterparts.
