I will man. Also what is this?


The brass plug on the end ,has an allen head mpt screw that goes inside it. It was leaking pretty good.

Excellent idea !!! That’s the way it came. Good thinking man.

Thermal relief should not drip start machine turn till it stops it was probably dripping because it was making hot water when you are not on the trigger

I was thinking that , I’m used to these for the Hotsy that mount to the unloader

So what’s this on the PP then?
Another thermal relief valve ?


To the right of the tee ,lil yellow plastic thingee on it.

Yes has a rupture disc. You should run a small jumper hose to a place where you will notice it

Be a good idea to keep a handful of spare rupture discs around and one or two full thermal relief valves. Eventually they all corrode and get stuck open or closed. Sometimes you can clean them up and get by but eventually it will just do it again.

Not to be the biggest Poindexter but you guys are mixing up some names on those components.

That’s a pressure switch

This is a pressure relief valve. That’s also quite the hot spot you have there. It’s leaking heat there pretty bad.
