This is a 5-m blower,the vac relief valve sucked in the blower, if you want to see more photos.

Mikey found them on a post I had in the bird room, I will post the post look at the top right of the video, it's in my photobucket. click the photo

Les;

Never saw one cracked like that.

Is that a steel bolt welded to a washer??

The washer is the valve seat ??

Was the blower covered under warranty ?

TM looks fairly new, How many hours?

[Mikey P]

How much of the cost of a TM goes into making it look that perty?

HI

larry

Yes that's a bolt with a washer no seat, it was a warranty I did for BlueLine
the truck had 20 hrs.

BTW it's good to see you

 

[Ron Werner]

Wonder what the tech was thinking!!!

Ouch!! :shock:

 

[floorguy]

ok note to self......maybe not such a good idea to put vac relief above blower...maybe keep in/on the tank

IT'S called learning pains, it's happened to the best of us.

My cleanco also has the relief on the tank.

Floorguy,

You brought up the numero uno reason to keep mechanical devices with small parts away from the inlet side of the blower.

While placement "may" arguably protect the blower infinitesimally better in cases of poor vac filter maintenance, it represents a greater hazard due to potential mechanical failure. I think it is a really good idea to have the vac filter between the relief valve and the blower inlet, which is what placement on the vacuum tank exactly does.


Those are awesome pics. I'll have to refer back to them when again I have a discussion with one preaching for a vac relief valve above/before the blower.

 

[Greenie]

...or you could just use a vac relief that didn't fall apart....lol

That guy needs lessons in how to roll up hoses on hose reel neatly. What a mess.

I like the yellow.

If my blower just imploded I wouldn't be to worried about how neat the hoses were rolled up either. I would be hauling ass to the shop. Hell, them hoses would be lucky if I even rolled them up at all. LOL.

I know the older Powermatics had a relief valve mounted on the intake of the blower intake, just about like that one. It does have a cage to catch the rod and washer if it broke loose.

a little super glue will fixer right up :roll:
