Single Mist Pro Head Mist Pro Fitting With Lid Assembly 360° View
If you want the best misting head on the market, look no further.
This is by far our favorite misting head. It's the result of several months of research to find the ideal misting head. We worked with
the manufacturer to identify the ideal nozzle to mist in a 55 gallon drum. This misting head emits a super fine cone shape
mist pattern that covers the surface area of the biodiesel in the drum. It emits the water fast enough to keep misting to a
minimum but slow enough to not agitate the biodiesel too agressively. Our research department just can't say enough great
comments about the results they're seeing with this mister.
Click on the video below to see the Mist Pro in action!
That little tip makes the water emit at just the right angle and strength to perfectly
wash biodiesel. You can order this mister with just the mister or with an attachment that can secure the fitting to a wash barrel
complete with a locking nut & washer. The fitting allows you to use a common garden hose or use just the bushing to
plumb it into 3/4" plumbing.
Be sure to pick up some of our teflon tape to seal the fittings.

Description: A Utah Biodiesel Supply Exclusive!
If you'd like to dry your biodiesel or waste vegetable oil (WVO) quickly, or are just looking for a better way to dry,
then you'll want to consider our Dry Pro dryer.
Discovered by a great Biodieseler in Canada,
this handy nozzle allows you to recirculate your biodiesel or wvo to aerate it and dry it extremely fast.
Click on the video below to see the Dry Pro in action!
When installed properly, you can recirculate your biodiesel or wvo
through this dryer to create a quick drying fanning effect inside your wash tank. As the fanning effect
occurs, it allows moisture trapped in the Biodiesel or wvo to escape faster and dry it quicker. You
can even use a standard processor pump to recirculate biodiesel from the bottom of your wash tank
up through plumbing and right through this drying nozzle.
We highly recommend plumbing this dryer through a ball valve to regulate the flow and also
connecting a by-pass fitting in place so that you don't strain your pump.

These 1/4" plastic T-Valves are perfect for connecting both output's on the wash tank air pump above into a single air line for your biodiesel wash tank bubbler.
Designed just for aquarium pumps, they're the perfect size to connect air line together giving you double the air flow.
See this item in use in here in our wash tank photo galleries section.
Description:
This 1/4" Check Valve can be placed just after the T-Valve when using wash tank air pumps to ensure that liquid from the bubbler doesn't
make it's way into the pump. This helps ensure long pump life and acts as a means of holding air pressure in the biodiesel wash tank bubbler so that
liquid doesn't siphon it's way back into the air line.
See this item in use here in our photo galleries section.
Description:
This 1/4" 2-way air valve can be placed in-line to help fine tune the air flow in your bubbler. This helps to get the bubbles bubbling
