Official Ingersoll Rand air compressor parts

Fixing air leaks on your Ingersoll Rand air compressor

Tighten air tube fittings where air escapes and replace any damaged air tubes. The check valve prevents tank air from back flowing to the pump and unloader. If air leaks out the unloader when the pump stops, replace the check valve because the check valve leaks air back towards the unloader. The safety valve pops open to relieve excessive air pressure if the pressure switch fails to shut off the air compressor at the cut-out pressure setting. Replace the safety valve if it leaks air constantly. Replace the air compressor tank if it leaks air. Rebuild the air compressor pump if it leaks air through the pump head when the pump runs because a broken valve plate seal is allowing air to escape through the pump head.

Top replacement parts for Ingersoll Rand air compressors

• Compression ring. Attached to the top of the piston, the compression ring seals the gap between the piston and the cylinder wall.
• Connecting rod. The connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft or eccentric bearing to move the piston up and down in the cylinder.
• Eccentric bearing. Attached to the motor drive shaft, the eccentric bearing drives the connecting rod to move the piston up and down inside the pump cylinder.
• Fan. The fan connects to the crankshaft and moves air over the pump and motor for cooling.
