The anti-backsplash valve diverts water away from the abrasive mini-hopper and includes adapters for most abrasive feed hose sizes. Water will inevitably find it's way up the abrasive feed hose from the cutting head. This water diverter keeps that water out of the mini-hopper.
Kit includes hose adapters for hoses with either 3/8" or 1/4' ID.
For Omax-style smaller abrasive lines, choose the one with the 3/16" adapter - F300-E0024-0000
Water going up the feed hose is caused by a leaking/worn-out on-off valve (if it happens when the valve is "off") or a worn-out mixing chamber in the cutting head (if it happens when the water is turned on, when water should be going out the nozzle) or by having the nozzle too close to the material being cut (back it off to at least 1/8"). Hard to believe some machines don't have this part!
INSTALL ON THE ABBRAVIVE LINE IN VERTICAL OR NEAR VERTICAL POSITION. AS CLOSE TO THE CUTTING HEAD AS REASONABLY POSSIBLE.
