purge switch

[Hisham Amaral]

The best way to stop the corrosion problems with the winterizing
purge switch is the add a check valve right on the switch. My switch
failed last week and drained my air supply along with loads of water
in the air system. After talking to few people and looking at the
postings I removed the switch and made few call to Clippard Minimatic
Corp. The company gave me the name of my local distributor in my
area. I was told by the sales person that the is a check valve
available to attach to the toggle purge switch that would fix my
problem. I installed the new switch and the check valve, wallah my
problem went away.

The part number for the miniature check valve is mcv-1 cost for this
part is %4.50.
The part number for the (purge) toggle switch is TV-3S cost for the
toggle switch is $9.33.

When install these parts be sure you have the check valve is
positioned correct in the direction.
