Official Florida Pneumatic air compressor parts

Common Florida Pneumatic air compressor repair parts

• Check valve. The check valve prevents tank air from back flowing to the pump. A failed check valve will apply high air pressure to the head of the pump preventing the motor from restarting once the tank has filled. If the motor starts when the tank is empty of air but won't restart when the tank is full, replace the check valve.
• Safety valve. 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 or pops open at normal operating pressure.
• Air tank. Don't try to fix a leaking air compressor tank. Replace the tank if it leaks air.
• Motor. The motor drives the piston or pistons that compress the air in the pump. Replace the motor if it doesn't run when it gets electrical current and the air tank is empty.
