Effepizeta (FPZ) SCL V6 Regen blower

[wayne_webb]

I got one of these with my used shopbot. It's never been used or even connected. I have the plumbing almost done but want to install a vacuum gauge next to the relief valve. Does anyone have this particular model?

The only sticker I can find on it seems to be a "type" number (SCL V6) and motor specs. I haven't been able to find the number ont he FPZ website.
5hp
3550 rpm
I've emailed FPZ a couple of times with no response yet. Does anyone know what the vacuum capacity of this blower is?
Thanks
Wayne

I have the same unit. My guage reads up to -30 inches of HG but I've only seen it get as high as about -6 with this unit.

Look at your bleeder valve - how many inches is it set for - shouldn't that be the max you'll get to?

This unit is good for about 8 inches of mercury & around 180 CFM.
