PARKER VACUMATIC FILLING UNIT EJECTOR SET (Tool D29)

PARKER VACUMATIC FILLING UNIT EJECTOR SET WITH TWO DIAMETERS OF EJECTORS for REMOVAL of STUCK VAC FILLING UNITS. INCLUDES DIAPHRAGM SEAT CLEANER / SCRAPER. Comes with instruction sheet.

THIS TOOL IS INTENDED TO HELP REMOVE VACUMATIC FILLING UNITS FROM THE BARRELS OF STANDARD (STD) AND DEBUTANT (DEB) VACS AFTER THE THREADED SHOULDER IS UNSCREWED FROM THE BACK OF THE BARREL AND THE FILLING UNIT STILL DOESN’T WANT TO PULL OUT. THESE EJECTORS ARE INTENDED TO AVOID DAMAGE TO OR THE PULLING APART OF THE FILLING UNIT IF IT IS STUCK IN THE BARREL.   TO USE THE LARGER DIAMETER FILLING UNIT EJECTOR (THE ONE WITH THE SEAT SCRAPER ON THE OTHER END), THE SECTION MUST BE OFF THE PEN BARREL IN ORDER FOR THE EJECTOR TO FIT INTO THE BARREL. THE LARGER DIAMETER EJECTOR WILL FIT THROUGH ALMOST ALL STANDARD SIZED (STD) AND DEBUTANT (DEB) SIZED BARRELS / DIAPHRAGM SEATS ONCE THE SECTION IS OFF.  THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST OPTION.  REMOVAL OF THE  REMAINS OF THE OLD DIAPHRAGM THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE PEN SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED BEFORE USING EITHER EJECTOR AS IT WILL GET IN THE WAY OF EJECTOR OPERATION.

IF YOU WANT TO TRY USING A FILLING UNIT EJECTOR WITHOUT TAKING THE SECTION OFF, THE SMALLER DIAMETER EJECTOR (D29 B) WILL FIT THROUGH THE SECTIONS OF 50% OF THE STANDARD VACS OUT THERE.  FOR DEBS AND THE OTHER HALF OF THE STANDARD SIZED VACS, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE SECTION OFF TO USE EITHER OF THESE EJECTORS.  BUT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO REMOVE THE SECTION DURING  RESTORATION ANYWAY.  SECTION REMOVAL ALSO FACILITATES REMOVAL OF THE OLD DIAPHRAGM WHICH WOULD GET IN THE WAY OF EJECTOR OPERATION.

SIZING SUMMARY FOR EJECTORS:

_____________________________

LARGER DIAMETER EJECTOR:

_______________________

       - YOU NEED TO HAVE SECTION OFF OF BARREL TO GET TO FILLING UNIT OF STD. OR DEB. VACS.

       - IT WILL PASS THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DIAPHRAGM SEAT OF 96% OF              VACS – I’VE CHECKED 50.

         - IT IS THE PREFERRED TOOL OF THE TWO DIAMETERS AS IT ENCAPSULATES THE WHOLE HARD RUBBER PELLET RETAINER IN THE END OF THE FILLING UNIT.

      - YOU SHOULD FISH OUT AS MUCH OF THE OLD DIAPHRAGM AS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE FRONT          OF THE BARREL BEFORE USING THE EJECTOR.

________________________________

SMALLER DIAMETER EJECTOR (D29 B):

________________________________

      – YOU CAN LEAVE THE SECTION ON AND STILL GET INTO THE BARREL WITH D29 B FOR 50% OF THE STD VACS, BUT YOU NEED TO FISH OUT AS MUCH OF THE OLD DIAPHRAGM AS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE SECTION.

       - D29 B WON’T GO THROUGH THE SECTION OF A DEB OR OF ABOUT 50% OF STD VACS - You have to take the section off for those.

_________________________________________

THE D29 DIAPHRAGM SEAT SCRAPER / CLEANER:

__________________________________________

       -IT'S BUILT INTO THE OPPOSITE END OF THE LARGER DIAMETER VAC FILLING UNIT EJECTOR.

       -THE TWO ROUND NUTS ON THE BACK OF THE SCRAPER CAN BE LOCKED TOGETHER TO SET THE DEPTH THAT THE SCRAPER BLADE GOES INTO THE BARREL.

       -IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE THE LOCKING DEPTH ADJUSTING NUTS IF YOU AIM THE SHAFT STRAIGHT AND GO GENTLY WHILE SCRAPING THE SEAT. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PUSH VERY HARD WHILE TURNING THE BLADE TO GET A GOOD, CLEAN SEAT FOR THE NEW DIAPHRAGM.  IF THE SCRAPING ACTION IS ROUGH, BACK OFF SLIGHTLY UNTIL IT GOES SMOOTHLY WHILE SCRAPING. 

       -THE DEPTH OF THE SEAT VARIES FROM PEN TO PEN, SO IF YOU USE THIS TOOL WITH THE DEPTH ADJUSTERS IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE DEPTH FOR EACH PEN.  TO DO SO, BACK THE NUTS OFF, INSERT THE SCRAPER UNTIL YOU FEEL IT LAND ON THE DIAPHRAGM SEAT AND SCREW THE FRONT ROUND NUT FORWARD AND HOLD IT IN THAT POSITION WHILE YOU TIGHTEN THE BACK ROUND NUT UP AGAINST THE FRONT ROUND NUT TO LOCK THE DEPTH SETTING. 

       -NOTE 1:  15% OF THE VACS OUT THERE HAVE A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DIAPHRAGM SEAT THAT IS LARGER THAN THAT OF THE OTHER 85% OF THE PEN POPULATION SO THE SCRAPER SLIDES BY THE SEAT OF THAT 15% WITHOUT MAKING CONTACT. Do not hammer on the ejector or slam it onto the bench top; If it won't come out while pushing, put a glove on and push the ejector into the pen by
