AHH   Now is see what you were on about Derek.  As already stated, the Kunkle Valve is a vac relief.  The set up i have mentioned used 2 vac tanks & 2 vac blowers ensuring no loss of suction when dual wanding. Many TMs that are capable of dual wanding lose suction when in dual mode.  Also, the way that prochem designed the dual wand machines restricted the air flow.  When dual wanding you would have 2 x 2 inch vac hoses connecting to the front of the machine. Behind the panel was a 'Y' piece that sent the 2 x 2 inch into 1 x 2 inch.
