Perfect, thank you very much!
A few more questions...
-How do you reccomend connecting the 3/16" lines with the 1/4" lines?
-Are the pressure values for verticle lift (.5lb/ft) variable depending on the lines ID (for an unrelated home project I want to do)
Here's a picture of the project so far (a ton of unfinished details, such as the temporary stands it's sitting on, etc.) All of the measurements came out perfect, and we ran pretty tight tolerances with everything (for better or worse, we'll see, haha)
Thanks for all your help!
