Can't figure this out. The base where waterhose intake attaches, unscrews from the rest of the black holder that the clear tube is attached.
I don't think the small tube wadded up in it does anything at all. In fact, when it arrived the wadded up tube looked like it had oil in it and was just stuck in because the estate sale people thought they belonged together. I can't find a place to attach any tubing, so that doesn't help. And all prospectors know oil and gold don't mix, or bye-bye fine gold. Will take more pictures of it disassembled from the bottom half black base if that helps anyone figure this out for me. Thanks for all input or suggestions as to manufacturer or how to use or if something is missing beside the gold ![]() Oh, and the label says: Clovis California and a Phone number. I've called and called and only get voice mail. Have left messages asking for whoever answers to call collect, but that hasn't happened either. Thanks for looking.

Pix #9 I jis keep talking to Gat-Wa about this thing, and jis keep learnin'... :)
Here's what I learned this time: there is a permanently seated "flow constrictor" in the throat of this female hose fitting unit... I had to enlarge the image of this totally traditional garden hose female fitting so you all could see this "constrictor"... So, iffen you be planning t'build yer own, remember to find and install this constrictor thingy...I have NO clue where you would go to find one. But as you can see from the label on the image, it is tapered on the I.D. toward the center of the opening. It is a slightly "redder" brass, too, if that helps ya' do it yer selfer types find any....that's how I spotted it...after Gat tol' me to look fer it....had'ta use strong light and me trusty 16X magnifying glass ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
