Casefeeder and Connecting Hose
The Decapper has been supplied with an adaptor and hose to connect to the
standard Dillon
™
casefeeder. Refer to photo below.
Please note,
❖
We have been advised of variations in the position of the Dillon
casefeeder collar (the part with the spring). These can occasionally
be very narrow in clearance and as such the supplied adaptor and
may not always fit. The adaptor can be trimmed or modified with
a file or belt sander.
The adaptor will clip into the casefeeder where
the normal plastic drop tube connects the
Dillon
™
casefeeder to the Dillon
™
reloading
press. The flexible vinyl hose supplied will
connect the adaptor clip to your Decapper drop
tube.
When the casefeeder and Decapper locations
are confirmed, check the route for the flexible
hose.
Install the hose end with the cable tie on it on
the drop tube end
. The cable tie does actually
do
something…..
Run the hose from the decapper to the casefeeder. Insert the adaptor clip
into the casefeeder and mark out where to cut the hose. The hose route
should be as vertical and as straight as possible, smooth, and clear of
equipment, allow some extra length in the hose, mark the hose. Allow for
some shrinkage in the hose!!!!!
❖
Measure twice before you cut the hose.
To mount the hose onto the adaptor clip, you place the end of the hose in
some hot water for approximately 2 minutes and push onto the hose tail
barbs whilst still hot. Leave to cool whilst holding the hose straight.
