Fuses for JE Adams vacuums

[Rainway]

Anyone know where to source 10 amp in-line fuses for JE Adams vacuums? I checked Amazon didn’t have luck.

Inline Fuse - 10 AMP

For over 35+ years, J.E. Adams has been producing high-quality self serve car wash equipment, pressure washing products, and mist cooling solutions.

I’ll end up paying $50 shipping for drop ship from JE Adams if I go through the guy I ordered the vacuum from. I found 8 amp fuses on Kleen-Rite but am told we have 10 amp fuses.

We took them out and replaced them with a 10amp push button panel breaker. You can get them on Amazon.

Do a Google search for LGR10 fuse.

Have you tried home depot or similar? Local electric supply house? Hvac supply? This should be very common to find locally.

They are not common at all.

I don't have any JE vacs, what is so special about them? And why would JE use a specialized fuse, that's highly inconvenient for owners of the vacs

In the past I've used plain old cheap glass fuses in a holder to protect a vacuum timer hooked directly to the motors. I can't recall any issues.

I'm not sure why they use them other than so we have to buy from them. I had one of those JE Adams fuse holders go bad recently and I did what Greg did. Cut it out and put a standard inline fuse holder with a 1/4" X 1 1/4" glass fuse in it. Also recently while trying to hook up a Dencar relay on an old D&S vac it blew it's transformer fuse. It is a 3 amp fast acting, 10mm X 35mm "midget" fuse that was hard to find locally. Still can't figure out why it's blowing the fuse every time we try to activate it with the Dencar system.

It’s not really too hard to figure out why the manufactures use a cheap hard to find fuse when they build the equipment. They build the equipment as cheap as they can to sell it. If they installed a breaker instead of a fuse when they built the equipment it would be more expensive and they wouldn’t be able to sell there over priced fuses.

I had the same problem installing the Dencar relays. The installer finally figured it out after several tries and burned up relays and transformers.

I think this is it.

Intermountain Fuse in Salt Lake City stocks all sorts of odd ball fuses. Their prices are very reasonable and they will mail them the same day. They are great to deal with on the phone.
