Where does the thermal relief valve go on a Honda Excell XR2600 Pressure washer?

I have a 5hp Honda Excell XR2600 pressure washer. I talked to the reps on the phone and they told me it was the thermal relieve valve was the problem I was having. It would make pressure sometimes and then othertimes not. I got the part 16484 and I just don't see where it goes. I have had the pump off and I still don't see where it goes. Any help would be appreciated.

You do not need to pull the pump off..it is external right under neath the pump..itwill be visibly leaking when they go out..will be very small drops but visible

Honda powered pressure washer pump problems?

Need help designing overload protection for my rotary phase converter. I don't want to burn out my motors.

I'm looking over the NEC code book.
I am using a 15hp motor for the rotary phase converter and it will power a 7.5hp pressure washer motor.
The rated amps for the 15hp motor is 38amps. so, I think a 50amp circuit breaker on the single phase input should be adequate overload protection for the the 15hp motor. What do you think?
I'm not sure what overload protection to use for the 3 phase connection to the 7.5hp motor. What do you recommend? Specifics are appreciated, such as make and model # of overload protection. or at least generic ratings that I can use to look up a make and model for pricing.

I would ask the motor manufacturer. they will be glad to help.

Pickup truck photo leads to man’s arrest in church break-in

A surveillance photo of a truck leaving Corinth Baptist Church led to the arrest of the man sheriff’s deputies say is responsible for breaking into the building last month.

According to a Sheriff’s Office report, surveillance video captures a man wearing black gloves breaking into an outbuilding on May 24.

James Stanley Edwards, 32, of 329 Judas Road, Mooresville, was recently arrested in Iredell County by a Cleveland County investigator, according to Sheriff Alan Norman.

He was held on a $7,500 secured bond.

The video obtained from the church shows a man arriving at the church in a white pickup truck with a trailer attached. according to the report, a pressure washer, gas-powered hedge trimmer, water pump and two coolers were taken.

The Sheriff’s Office released a photo of the white truck hauling a trailer to local media outlets and an arrest was made because of the photo.

Norman said an officer with the Lincolnton Police Department spotted the vehicle and recognized it from local media broadcasts.

“he was able to obtain a tag number from the vehicle,” Norman said. “he wasn’t able to stop the vehicle, but the obtained the tag number and gave it to the investigative unit of the (Cleveland County) Sheriff’s Office.”

He said Investigator Amy Stroupe was able to identify an individual through the tag number and arrested Edwards in Iredell County.

He was charged with breaking and entering, felony larceny and possession of stolen goods.  

Norman said there is a second suspect in the case who fled and is believed to be in Arkansas.

 “We don’t know that person of interest’s name,” Norman said.

 according to Norman, Edwards and the second suspect would visit churches asking for money to help pay their bills and would later come back and break into the buildings.

 “They were basically casing that church…to come back at a later date,” Norman said.

Other recent arrests:

- Patrick Tyler Philbeck and Nicholas Ryan Jones were arrested Friday in connection with a breaking and entering on Airport Road, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Alan Norman said a deputy stopped a vehicle after observing the driver acting suspiciously.

“When he pulled the vehicle over, he found numerous items inside the vehicle,” Norman said.

Included in the list of items was a chainsaw, go-kart frame and engine.

“through his (the deputy’s) investigation, he was able to determine it had come from a break-in that occurred on Airport Road,” Norman said.

The complainant on Airport Road who reported the missing items also said he was missing rims that were later found on the suspect’s vehicle, Norman said.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, both men were charged with breaking and entering, possession of stolen goods and larceny after breaking and entering.

Both had $15,000 secured bonds.
