Title: Injector length
Post by: MonteSS on 01/20/12 20:14 UTC

How long is the CC injector? Was there ever different lengths?

My one I bought new from Jason, the tube only length is about 6.5"

the used one I just got I was told was a bears. It is identical to the CC one but the tube is about 8" long. So it this on a CC also, but longer? the nozzles are identical too and interchange.

Thanks....Bill

CCM only sells one size (4oz) that I know of.

Edit: Just looked on Bears site and he make a 5 oz that looks identical to the CCM one. I didnt think they were that similar.

CCM sells the medium Injector and Bears sells a small, medium and a large.

I believe they both get the parts from the same supplier. Niether one makes them it is an outside source. I guess you can order what you want. Frank

Frank is correct, we have our injectors made for us (no lathe at CCM). They have always been 4OZ.

Frank is alwats right. Just ask his wife :)

I have been shooting some 5" sticks in a Bears mold lately and If I dont get a perfect full fill on the CCM injector, it just barely runs dry and I get voids at the head. I was going to ask Jason if he could make me a slightly longer tube, but this bears one seems to be perfect.

Jason, did you ever consider a 6 oz as an option.

I love your injector. It is like the BT one is a Cadilac and yours is a sports car. Handles well and fast.

Bill,

We are looking at having a bigger one made.  I would like for it to be 8.5 - 9oz so it could easily take a full cup.  We just need to figure out the diameter of the tube, thickness, etc (I don't want it to be real long or real fat - looking for that balance).  Hopefully it won't be far out.  Just need to nail down the specs.  If anyone wants to chime in with their input I would be very interested in different perspectives.

Thanks,

Jason
