This is a response to Seanreit's request for a McMaster-Carr list of items useable for jets. Since his post got a little sidetracked and I'm just now back in town, I started a new thread.

Cut and paste the part number for the item of interest from the attached text file into McMaster's search window to get to the catalogue page. Then you can look +/- a couple pages for items of a similar nature you might like better. I have bought and used most all the items on this list so can speak to most any of them. Prices on the list may or may not be current. Use their Bookmark system to find items again later.

McMaster invites small orders but they will charge actual cost for shipping, so be careful if you order something heavy, large or long. In California, we also pay sales tax, don't know about elsewhere. They do ship fast. I've gotten orders in less than 24 hrs, but I'm not all that far from them.

Post any additions you might have.

Great list. Thanks

Thanks, great list!

I work for an engineering company in Oslo, Norway, and we buy a lot, if not most of our production hardware and general shop needs from mc Master. Amazing store. We even get all our metric hardware from them, its cheaper and faster with a better selection than from across town here! Whenever we get a salesman from a local company at our door, we show him the mc Master catalog. They just end up speachless.....

Low-temperature Aluminum Foil tape:

Tape is smooth and conforms to fibrous ducts, sheet metal ducts, and irregular surfaces. Great for vapor sealing fiberglass and duct board, and for foil/scrim/kraft (FSK) systems. Total tape thickness is .003", 50-yd rolls, 1100 alloy.

2" - 7616A21 - 7.21

I've used this aluminum foil tape and it's quality is comparible to the aluminum foil tape marketed as a model-finishing system.

Eric,

my regards to your wife. She works for the greatest company on the planet. Nortek, where I work (www.nortek.no), we keep joking that if it was't for Mc Master Carr, we'd go under! Might even be a bit of truth in it.....

Best wishes for the holidays,

When we were in Memphis (where we evacuated to for Hurricane Katrina) there was not a 5 gallon gasoline jug to be found and we needed them to get back home and start the recovery. We called McMaster-Carr and had a bunch of them over-nighted. Saved our bacon!!!
