A recirculating type cleaner for paint spray guns. The apparatus includes a cabinet supporting a sink and a pair of solvent receptacles each containing a pump and motor for circulating solvent from the receptacles through outlet nozzles and into the sink. In use, the gun is given one or more initial rinses with solvent, from one receptacle, after which a final cleaning rinse is made with new solvent from another receptacle. The sink drain is arranged so that all of the solvent is returned to a single container. Clean solvent passes in use from the clean solvent receptacle to the used or dirty solvent receptacle, leaving fresh solvent uncontaminated, while the contaminated solvent is used repeatedly. The sink includes a fire safety cover secured over the sink opening by a fusible link, and the solvent receptacles are positioned for ready removal to facilitate periodic servicing.
A central steel column serves as a core module for a portable washstand. The column extends upwardly from a horizontal foot, and has foot pumps which communicate with a water intake tube and with water spouts. In addition, the central column has fasteners, such as adjustable bands, for connecting fresh and waste water receptacles to the column. A yoke may have pins which extend into the rims of the receptacles to connect them to the column. The receptacles may be conventional cylindrical drums, which support a molded plastic countertop with washbasins positioned beneath the spouts. For decorative purposes, a molded front panel extends between the countertop and the base, and together with a sheet rear panel encloses the two drums. Paper towel and soap dispensers may be connected to the central column.

A portable flushing apparatus for cleaning the interior of a gas distribution tube. The apparatus includes a first reservoir structure housing a first solvent an a first conduit leading therefrom for selectively transporting solvent to the interior of the tube to be cleaned. A second reservoir structure houses a second solvent generally employed in a final cleaning flush, and has a second conduit leading therefrom for selectively transporting solvent to the interior of the tube. A gas supply conduit is included for selectively transporting purging gas to the interior of the tube. A downstream conduit collects or for releases for testing fluid from the tube. The entire apparatus can include a wheeled carrier. A liquid collector can be situated beneath the gas distribution tube for capturing any spilled solvent
