[TheForge] help on hydraulics needed

[Grover Richardson]

NO. Not meaning to yell, just excited<G>.  Plumbing is only good for about
150 psi or so.  Hydraulics are good for 2,000 psi or more.  Just a rough
statement.

Greetings all -- 

Hopefully a quick question -- are standard steel plumbing fixtures (nipples,

'T's, elbows) appropriate for us in a hydraulic press. Seems like the 
equipment I have does have typical tapered threads but I just wanted to 
confirm the useage. See "http://ironflower.com/plans/press.htm" for what I'm

actually trying to do.
