Unloader Plumbing

[Rance]

I think this is a VB-80 unloader.Does anyone use this type? If you
use this type could you post pictures of the plumbing network of it?
Thanks

In this pic, the inlet is on the right or bottom, the outlet is on the left, and the bypass points toward the rear.

Not trying to hijack the thread, Russ, I have always heard that the green spring unloader is the best out there, especially if you want to run the 2-gun systems.

If you are having problems with that unloader (like maybe they are being made overseas in that big china place now and are now failing fast, very fast), what would you recommend to replace it with and why?

Thanks.

I'm going to do some checking...I've had a few complaints about the smaller framed unloader. I'm pretty sure I can source the large bodied unloaders, I need to make a phone call.

The VB80/280, rated 21 gpm @ 4,350 psi, will be my go-to unloader to replace the green spring unloader. The only difference is it has one bypass port instead of two, so some re-plumbing may be needed to install it. They will be $139.51.

The Zeromatic 83 is another unloader that I'll be looking at for multi-gun setups, rated 3 - 10 gpm @ 3,600 psi with bypass restrictors sized for machine output. It will be $100.30.
