How are you guys attaching the elbow? Does it have to be welded? Can it be clamped?

clamped it then used self tapper to hold in place. Definitely wish I would have extended the books another 2-3 feet.
Kim,
Where did you get the mosmatic swivel for the boom?
Also what size clamps are required for the boom? Automotive clamps don't have as much adjustment as regular clamps. Want to make sure I get the right size.

Hi Noob, I purchased the Mosmatic boom elbows directly from Kleen-Rite (Part #: BOMP60314). They don't swivel. You'll need to call them for current prices. 1-800-233-3873. Their elbows come with a heavy duty hose clamp, but we still welded the elbow to the Mosmastic 3' extension (Part #BOMP60315). I definitely recommend adding the 3' boom extension! Though it does add weight to the Diskin wall bracket, it takes the pressure off the hose so customers aren't pulling the hose to get it over their cars. As for the weight, we ended up adding brackets, with long screws and drilling them through the thick concrete walls.

Yes! That's the Mosmatic 2” in-line swivel coupling. I purchased it also from Kleen-Rite (Part #BOMP60323). It swivels much easier & smoother than a rubber vacuum swivel. Pricey little bugger. I paid $132.27 each 6 years ago.
