Bender Milk Releaser

[jasonl6]

I am also having problems with my check valve lettiong in air at the bottom of my bender. Does anyone have a good source for buying a ball style check valve?

I would replace it with a flapper style checkvalve, unless it has to dump straight down.

Here is where I got my flapper CV's they are clear so you see them working when you are really bored!!

Clear Check valve

The one thing about these CV's are that they have unions on both ends so it easy to remove to clean.

thats almost identical to what i have already. Mine are black and were from home depot. I'll check to see how much pressure they are good for but i think it was over 100 also. I'm pulling 26lbs right before the releaser.

I couldn't find them localy around here that is why I ordered them on line. The cheapest I found that are clear was from Aqua Cave. I can't remember where but I know you can find the white ones cheaper.

The thread into the top bracket of the Benders is 1/2 inch Coarse thread.
I made a few by drilling out a 1/2 X2 inch long bolt on the lathe. Then I turned the hex head down til it just fit into the vacuum hose. I did experiment with one bracket by drilling out the 1/2 inch threads and tapping it to 5/8 NC. Then made a 'fitting" with 5/8 bolt. This allowed a bigger vacuum passage...
