SprayFoamSupply.com Posted: Nov 24, 2008 10:27 PM	You need to take the 3/8 male NPT X #6 male JIC fitting off of the front of the A side of the MH2 manifold, clean it thoroughly and put it on the B side of the MH2. For the A side, you need a 3/8 male NPT X #5 male JIC fitting. You can now attach standard Graco hoses to the MH2. For the hose heat, cut off the levitron butt connectors coming out of the MH2, and use the graco powerlock splice kit, part # 261821. Call me if you need clarification. George 603.348.8880

Yea the fluid lines would be easy to connect but the heat tape in the hose assy. would have to be spliced and maybe I'm wrong but does the volage/wattage from the unit and hose even match up? And what about the thermocouple?
Trey Gibson Posted: Nov 25, 2008 06:30 AM	Thanks for the replies. I will let ya'll know how it turns out. I am trying to do this because I have a good working MH-2 that we used a few years ago but stopped because the Glas Craft hoses will drive you absolutely nuts with their constant problems. We had issues every single day to the point where they replaced our full machine for free. I am setting up a new rig right now and just have this MH-2 sitting there so I am going to set that up with an H-25 in our new trailer.
