Vacuum Hoses
Flexible, easy to change hoses equipped with quick
connect cam-lock ttings provide airow for the
vacuum recovery system. The primary, 6” vacuum
hose runs from the cuto ball valve connection
on the top of the debris tank to the vacuum hose
connection on the vacuum lter canister. Another
6” hose connects the lter canister to the inlet
side of the blower. A secondary 4” vacuum hose
runs from the inlet port of the debris tank to the
“two way” Y connector located at the front of the
unit where the two separate 3” inch hoses are
connected to the blasting head shrouds and the
vacuum system. The secondary vacuum hose has
multiple sections equipped with cam-lock ttings
to provide quick replacement, service or setup.
Debris buildup, kinks, clogs or leaks in the system
will cause a reduction in airow at the blasting
heads, reducing the eciency of operation or
causing operations to stop completely. Debris
buildup inside the hoses can be removed by pe-
riodically tapping the outside walls with a dead
blow hammer while the system is operating at
maximum vacuum. This will ex the hose walls and
cause the debris to break o and be sucked into
the debris tank. You should avoid tight bends and
maximize the radius of all hose bends to maximize
air ow and reduce the possibility for kinks dur-
ing operation. The internal walls of vacuum hoses

develop wear points caused from the high veloc-
ity of abrasive debris traveling inside the hoses.
The wear points are most prevalent in the outside
radius of tight bends near the blasting heads and
where the debris hose rises above the truck cab or
connects to the boom for the optional tractor. The
