Description
Brand new suction box with single volume control. 7 5/8" square, about 10" tall. 1 1/4" main connector, 1/2" connector for accessories. Internal check valve. Single stage motor, 120 volts AC, 6.8 amps, auto thermal protection, grounded. Includes 2' of 1-1/4" flex hose and a 1-1/4" straight brass connector for attaching to the foot pump reservoir. Pulls 48" water vacuum which is more than strong enough for a rebuilt or even slightly leaky player piano - if you think you need more, check item #292118780130 which is a two stage vacuum motor - generally quieter and can pull up to 70" and also comes with a basic speed controller.
Motor cost has reached the point where the cost difference between a 1 stage and a 2 stage motor is negligible, and the two stage has more power and is somewhat quieter. If space is not a concern, consider going with a two stage, available in my eBay store.
We now have a suction box with dual independent controls for volume during play and rewind speed - check auction #
292282333790.
For additional clearance, if you need a 1.25" brass connector elbow, check item #291679223198. We also have flanged straight connectors, item #292210627189.
I recommend using a motor speed control (included on this motor) as this box produces quite a lot of suction. Running the motor only at the necessary level also reduces related motor noise. Speaking of motor noise, this box is designed internally to limit transmission of vibrations from the motor to the box and it is felted on the bottom to help prevent noise transmission from the box to the piano.
