Pump Wagon Load

[Granitechops]

Found this in my shed, Think its an isolating valve off the air analysis system, used to turn off the gas in the back of an old ex BT optic cable line van I used to have.

recon it would look like a load on its way to a water/ sewage pumping station, modern type, any experts on here like to comment??

EDIT:- Strange forum would not let me add pic to post, box came up blank white no text, looks like it might work now as an edit

 

[Granitechops]

maybe a valve wheel where the top contacts are
or
a electronic gubbins control box instead?

I'm no expert on pumps and valves Don but I reckon if you pop some straps or chains on that it would make and interesting load of summatorother

Looks like a centrifugal (or maybe a gear) pump ?

Yes, the bracket looks a bit like the impellor casing (volute) of a centrifugal pump. I like the handwheel idea Don.

Nice bit of kit. Red oxide, perhaps, or grey undercoat??

Nice. Screw it down to the truck, dirty it up and put a biohazard sign on the barrel, should make people sit up

Oh and surely the bloke needs respiratory gear? Ask Mel, he has a great photo

[Granitechops]

Take a Binnie Eng. curly spoke wheel ( plastic)

 

[Granitechops]

fix it to a bolt, turn the rim off in the pillar drill, & round corners

 

[Granitechops]

Fit wheel & bolt thro brass channel & fix with a nut, end of bolt then snugs down into hole in housing

The triangular sign means biohazard . It is used for people with no common sense, or indeed no sense of smell !At what period of history they came in I do not know , but they were certainly used in the NHS in 1988 when I started there.

Puggsie? That's a new one, are you trying to get round me you old devil, you?
The answer above is correct, it means a biologically hazardous material, as opposed to nuclear (three triangles) or chemical load that is hazardous. I used the irritant material as an avatar when, I'm, er, irritating.
Best ask Mel, and ask him for that shot of the respiratory gear.

N.B. the more I look at your creation the more I think I've got some plumbing junk around....and I like yours, so some plagarism might be on the way

 

[pugwash]

Aha, found it myself. I'm sure Mel (YB281) won't mind me setting fire to the forum...

And the quote is ''I feel so tyred...''
