Slip a little hose clamp onto the hose and tighten it. Push them together until the hose is tight up against the inside of the can, holding the coupling rigidly in place. Slip the 3" piece of hose onto the coupling inside the can. Push one hose coupling through its hole and halfway into the can. With the rasp, clean up the edges of the holes, and continue to widen each until the hose couplings juuust fit through.Ĭut a 1" piece of hose, and a longer piece of hose (about 3", look at the inside diameter of the can and eye-ball it, you want it a little less than the can diameter). Your hole will be smaller than the circle. Drill a hole in the middle of each circle. Put on safety glasses and leather gloves.
You now have two circles drawn on the side of the can. Place them accordingly so they won't interfere with each other. Hint: Look at the length of the fittings and how far they're going to project into the can. With the permanent marker, trace the inside diameter of the hose onto the can. Hold this hose bit against the can where you want to mount one of the fittings. I don't want the hoses to kink anywhere, there isn't really enough pressure in the PCV circuit to keep things flowing through a kinked hose.Ĭut a short piece of your 5/8" rubber hose, about 1/2" long.
I thought about putting them both through the lid, but I looked at where I would be installing the can (see below) and decided to put the fittings through the side of the can, for clearance purposes. Read on.ĭecide where the two hose fittings should be on the can. Looking at the ingredients, you might wonder how I'm going to make something that will seal well enough that it won't leak oil all over the place. screwdriver, whatever the hose clamps require.drill, with big (up to 1/2-inch) metal drill bit.If they become brittle, I'll replace them with the metal ones. Although metal would stand up better to the heat and oil, I chose to use the PVC couplings this time, because they have a lip on them around the middle, which will keep them from moving too much. plastic, not to be confused with PCV!) and metal pipe couplings. I found both PVC (poly vinyl chloride a.k.a. 6 little hose clamps that will fit the 5/8" hose.2 1/2"-to-1/2" pipe couplings, metal or plastic.After spending some time loitering in the plumbing isles, I came up with something that should do the trick (thanks to Rick at the Kennedy/401 Lansing for suggestions). There are plenty of hose fittings in the air-tools sections of hardware stores, but none of them are big enough (the hose on the PCV valve is 5/8" ID), and they're all meant for joining hoses and air tools none will bolt to the side of a container (fittings on air tanks are welded on). It even has a nice polished finish out the outside, and no label - perfect!įinding bolt-on hose fittings was a real challenge. The only metal container I could find that has a neck big enough for me to get my hand into is a paint can! Lansing sells empty 1-quart (small) paint cans for just two bucks. I want a metal container, so that I know it will stand up to the heat, and so that the sides can stay (relatively) cool, hoping that some of that oil vapour will condense in the can. Includes hoses (see specific kit for sizes).Īvailability and Condition: Unless otherwise noted, this product is in brand new condition and usually in stock at one of our warehouses, or will ship directly from the manufacturer.Moroso makes a purpose-built catch-can, but I don't like it because (a) it's plastic, and (b) it has a vent filter built into the top.Includes universal mounting plate and hardware.
Compact design makes for easy engine bay placement.Defends intercooler, intake system, and essential components from oil blow-by.Separates oil particles from PCV/CCV air.Designed to withstand anything an engine compartment can throw at it and maintain it's stunning looks makes this Black or Carbon Fiber Catch Can an excellent addition to any Toyota Corolla, show or go. Utilizing an external level tube you can know when it's time to drain with just a glance.
