Jacuzzi J-365 Plumbing Pics?
Jacuzzi Jim:
Not sure, but I think that might be a check valve to one of the main pumps? What size line is that running into it?
renns:
That's a big 2" line running into it. It looks like there's a seam in that fitting, and it's been pushed apart, presumably by ice action. Tomorrow after work I'll work on trimming back the foam better in that area. Just above that fitting there are some very small hoses, so I'll need to work slowly to avoid causing collateral damage!
Jacuzzi Jim:
We don't see a lot of Freeze damage, but any I have seen doesn't push, it cracks fittings. Most likely a bad glue joint. I think it's a check valve and that right end runs to a suction fitting in the foot well. Guessing you follow the other end and it will run to pump 1. Doubt any kind of putty type product will work, your going to need to cut that out and replace it with a new check valve. Honestly it's going to be a pain getting in there and replacing.
Vinny:
I thought 8t looked like a seam as well but was looking on a phone screen.
As far as the epoxy putty, it wouldn't hurt to try. The stuff at HD is about $3 for 2 ounces ... Buy 2 and you should have more than enough. It is rated for some pressure (I think like 120PSI, but don't quote me) and if it works great if not you wasted $6 and an hour or so of your time.
My repair was on an air valve joint, I used 3/4 of the putty to put all around the joint and spread it out a little, waited for it to dry, filled the tub and it held. Would I have gotten the same results if there was pressure IDK!
Racenut:
Put the epoxy on there to seal the crack, then wrap it with silicone "rescue tape" to keep pressure from blowing the epoxy off.
