Subject: jedi drain - figured it out!!

Not sure this is still of interest to anyone, but had a type of drain I was desperately trying to figure out. There was a post at some point about a jedi drain, but it must have been deleted because I could find it in the search but no actual post. Very disappointed because the drain I was trying to find sounded like "7 omay jedi drain" and I kept trying to see if I could find the post and any replies archived somewhere! Anyway, the actual name of the drain: 7-mm J-vac drain. Whew!
