    What are Messick's Smoking

    Doesn't BEC have a salesman that works the Laughlin area? I know that they used to have someone working the Kingman area. Call Jimmy at Parker and see what he can do to help you out.

    That is NOT a filter. It is called a vent or breather. Looks to be either 1/2" or 3/4"NPT. Might be able to find one at TSC. Take the old one with.
