VI. Product Description
GB/JetLine ® Blowers and Blo-Vac™ systems are
designed to provide a convenient means of installing pull
line in a “sealed” conduit. “Sealed” conduit for this
purpose is considered EMT conduit with compression
type couplings, rigid conduit with threaded joints, or PVC
conduit with adhesive bonded joints.
Conduit with set screw type couplings does not
effectively seal joints and substantial air or vacuum loss
occurs making it difficult to maintain pressure or vacuum
to place a line in the conduit.
Blower Systems
GB/JetLine
® supplies two blower systems; the
B45 Bak-Pak™ (for fishing from 1 ⁄ 2 ” through 2 1 ⁄ 2 ” trade
size conduit) and the B60 Super Blower™ for heavy duty
work in conduit from 2
1 ⁄ 2 ” through 6”. FIGS. 2 and 3.
B45 Bak-Pak™
The B45 Bak-Pak™
conduit fishing kit is
equipped with a light
weight 1261 (Fig. 2)
Power Unit, three foot
hose, shoulder strap,
power saver line
packages, foam line
carriers, inflatables and
accessories for fishing
conduit from
1 ⁄ 2 ” through
2 1 ⁄ 2 ”. Bulk pull line is not
included with the kit.
B60 Super Blower™
The B60 Super Blower™
was designed for use
in long underground
single bore conduit from
2
1 ⁄ 2 ” through 6”. The
B3000 Power Unit must
remain above ground for
safety reasons, and the
2
1 ⁄ 2 ” diameter x 25 ft.
long hose and seal-off
are used in the manhole.
The portable triple motor
power unit provides a
high volume of air to
blow a line in large bore
conduit whether above
ground or below ground.
Blo-Vac™ Systems
GB/JetLine ® Blo-Vac™ Systems: BV208DA Super-Ultra
Blo-Vac™ provides blowing or vacuuming capabilities
for conduit fishing of
1 ⁄ 2 ” through 6”. These systems
provide a higher output pressure for more difficult runs.
The water lift capabilities of the Blo-Vac™ is the same
for blowing or vacuuming. See Table 2 for specifications.
Each Blo-Vac™ system is cart mounted for easy
transporting around the job site. Each Blo-Vac™ unit
has three compartments which are easily separated.
The top section is the power unit, the center section is
the recovery compartment, and the bottom section is
storage for accessories. See Fig. 4. The power unit
and the recovery compartment may be unlatched from
the tool storage compartment and used as a portable
blower vacuum system. All Blo-Vac™ systems are
equipped with a 1
1 ⁄ 2 ” diameter x 8 ft. long hose and
seal-offs to fit 1 ⁄ 2 ” through 6” conduit. Optional 15 ft
model 125615, available.
The BV208DA Super Ultra Blo-Vac™ has a powerful
three-stage motor fan section. The recovery capacity is
4.5 gallons expandable to 9 gallons by using the tool
storage compartment above the recovery compartment
after removing the false bottom. Housings are made of
high impact polypropylene.
