Air compressor regulator fix
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2024
- HUSKY PART NUMBER: HDA70503AV. Replaced the regulator on my 30 gallon Craftsman oilless air compressor. 5hp model. Been meaning to do this for years, but since upgrading to a 60 gallon Husky stationary unit, never got to it. Now, it works great. Still have to replace the drain valve, they go bad from the moisture.
Thanks. Craig, great video. I’ve had a 33 gal Craftsman for many years and replaced the hissing moisture drain valve on the bottom some time ago. Now the “new” hiss is the regulator. Thanks for the easy fix and the tip on getting a Husky replacement at Home Depot too, always good to save a few bucks.
I always LIKE on your videos.
I have the same air compressor.
I am hoping to fix it when I get some money saved .
I use tape on connections always.
I am a disabled vet and sadly money is tight . Thanks to our great president . We have not had a raise since 2009.
Today I repaired a line on mine today and Hacked the regulator to get more pressure Thanks for posting yours I enjoyed it !!!
Best tire pump ever
I just replaced my old Sears compressor, that was 30 yrs old, with a new 30 gallon twin piston Kobalt. What a HUGE difference in performance.
Nice repair Craig!
Excellent video you went straight to the point and explained everything that's what I like to see on CZcams videos
Those twins are nice. If its a cast iron unit they can run all day, usually rated for continuous work. Good to have compressed air, so much you can do. This Craftsman is good for a quick job- where I don't have to fill 60 gallons. It fills in just over 4 minutes, not bad for as long as I've had it.
just came from Home depot ,seen same regulator you bought ($20).I went to youtube and this is the first video on the list. My comp. is a 20gal. bad regulator, so I'm leaving for H.Depot hope I can do a good job on my compressor. Thanks for the video.
Thanks a lot Craig! I just got a new regulator for my Craftsman compressor and I was trying to figure out how to get it to spin on the existing pipe without the head hitting the tank! Duh! You've got to take it apart!
I have had the same problem with mine. I took the regulater apart. Dried it off and lubed up the orings with jacks pool lube. (Doesnt eat up the rubber inthe orings. Works great.
Verticals are nice, the space is the best part of them and they drain a lot better than these long ones. But I can use ramps and roll this baby right into my Jeep Grand Cherokee with no room to spare! Makes hauling to my buddies cottage when doing work a lot easier.
Thanks NCR. I use tape as well, only way to insure it won't leak. Only issue with this compressor is the drain, it hisses just a little. Other than that, its a great little compressor- not quiet though.
I just used this compressor this weekend to blow out my sprinkler system, still going strong and no more leaks!
Fine job Buddy!! I hate my oilless compressor but it's never let me down!! I think it's the same as yours but vertical!! I never seen it with the plastic shroud off before!!☺
Thanks for watching, you're right. I always go checkout the people that leave me ridiculous posts and 99% have no videos of their own, 1-2 subscribers and their activity leads me to think a very low IQ. This compressor always trips my 15amp breaker, especially in the winter. It draws a lot of amps to get it moving in winter. So, I ran a 20 amp just for it, no issues.
I have the same exact model compressor and the same exact issue , the regulator , the O-ring ,when it is brand new . I disassembled it to check, it's not because of the bad design cause it easy break down , actually was because the disqualify factory worker assembled the O-ring dislocated / bent (out of O-shape) , therefore couldn't seal tight .
Thanks 500. Glad to see you around.
Thanks, I just bought one of these for $30, has the same problem...very helpful
Thank you Luvern! I just used mine again last weekend, so nice to not hear the constant hiss of air escaping.
You know it is always something! You get one thing fixed then there's another! Story of my life!!! haha! Great video! at least you are one step closer to having a non leaking air compressor!! ;-)
Me too. Not in the video but its on all the connections and the gauges.
Looks like it working good again. Nice vid.
Thanks for watching. The arrow is the direction of the airflow, so I'd say away from the switch.
Thanks for the video!!! Just what I needed.
Glad I could help. Thank you for watching.
I put one of these on my old Puma compressor. works well
I'm going to have to upgrade my breaker also. Thanks!
Thank you Thank you thank you !!!!
Any time!
The original Sears regulator part number is AC-0007. $65.00 at Sears parts online. Menard's sells the exact same one for $18.00. Sold under the Powermate brand. P/N 019-0188CT.
The Menard part doesn't have 4 ports like the AC-007 and the gauge is attached to the front of it.
Great video thanks
if you use teflon tape,you dont need to tighten the fittigs so tight.i learned from exp.when tightened up a plastic fitting and cracked it.seems like every thing is replaced plastic.
I have noticed that you have the male end attached for the air outlet...actually you need the female end because that holds you pressure..the knob the you were turning on and off is to adjust the air pressure to different tools.
I was wondering why the male was on the output too. The hose will additional be configured wrong and need two male connections making it more difficult to use as extension or such.
i noticed that as well.. so his leak was coming for the male connection. it stopped leaking when he connected the hose. he's backward.
The regulator on my old Speedaire went out recently as well. The entire plastic innards corroded into a chalk like substance. Did the same fix with a Harbour Freight model that works fine. Speedaire doesn't make the regulator for my unit anymore..Figures.. Take Care
nice work ole buddy :)
Its strange, they never pm to let you know why they disliked it. I would suppose most haters don't have the balls to put up a video. By the way, I have a 30 gal Craftsman oil less compressor that I really hate. It trips the breaker almost every time it starts up.
Thanks man. Lots of haters out there.
Great video and thanks for sharing. I bought a regulator valve for my brute 15 gal air compressor. The regulator valve connects to my pressure switch. The regulator valve has an arrow on it. My question is which way do I install the regulator valve? Is the arrow on the regulator valve suppose to point to the pressure switch or point to other way?
i always use teflon tape
Once the tank fills and the unit shuts off should you hear any hissing at all? I hear some hissing from my regulator and I lose about 20lbs an hour +/-. Figured I need to replace my regulator. I also noticed you didn't use any thread sealer. Do you not need it? Thanks!
i mean was it meant to be that way?is there a purpose for that leak like sound?
Hi sir, I bought the same compressor like yours, Craftman 4hp, 25gal, but I need replace no only the regulator but also the 2 gauges. Could you tell me what kind specification I have to know to buy everything? Craftman does not manufacturer those parts anymore, so, I need to know the specification to looking for online similar parts.
Thank you.
Okay I just replaced my reg...it is the dual gage type...about the arrow on the bottom....does it point to the compressor or the hose...I installed it pointing to the hose...because I thought the arrow pointed out the direction of flow...is that wrong?
Sorry this comment wound up in the youtube spam section. You probably figured it out by now!
Craig How did you get the cover off of the compressor. It looks like a hex head with a point in the center. Is that correct?
is it normal to hear that leaking sound like?
Any chance you've got that old regulator still? LOL
I've got the same one, but had a fitting break off inside. Every regulator I've found only has the outlet pressure (such as your Husky one) and not the tank pressure.
Given that, why did you put the tank pressure gauge on as well and not the provided plug?
I know, having two gauges read outlet and no tank pressure stinks... I tossed that regulator long ago unfortunately. Check the Devilbiss website they may have the actual regulator, since they make the compressor for many of these retailers.
I checked their site... no luck. I ended up chaining together an adjustment valve with tank gauge to a regulator for output pressure. It's not the prettiest... but it does the job.
It just surprises me that you can buy new tanks with similar function setup, but you can't buy one.
Can you show how to fix a leaky regulator? Not just replace.
Dave, sorry, I put that compressor to the curb years ago and helped the gentleman load it in his Chevy for scrap. That Craftsman 30 gal. compressor lasted 20 years, used it every night for my side business, or home projects and seasonally to blow my sprinkler system out. A leaky regulator is just best to buy a new one, you'd have to find the exact O-Ring that was used.
I was wondering if it was just as easy to replace the regulator on a small compressor like a 3 gal.?
Yes, I think they all use the same or similar type regulators. This regulator isn't as nice as what came on the compressor, but it was cheaper and Home Depot had it in stock. You should be able to purchase a new regulator, check amazon and ebay, installing isn't difficult, just install with arrows going proper way for air direction.
How did you remove the knob? Thank you in advance for your answer
It's been awhile but at the base of the knob were teeth I believe. Grab on with channel locks and you should be able to remove the ring holding it on.
It’s not a fix, it’s changing!!!!!
How you know if the regulator are bad,cause mine makes this hissing air noise,i don't know if that's normal,by the way is my first compressor so I don't know anything about it.THANKS
The hissing could be coming from that petcock on the bottom of the air tank. Soapy dishwater sprayed on the parts can tell you where its coming from.
Hacked the regulator, don't give me Ideas!!! LOL! Thanks.
what the heck?why's my com. got lines through it?must have hit the wrong button.lol.
So if I replace that piece, my compressor might fully work? I had on mine for 6 mins and it's doesn't go past 20psi
The regulator isn't the issue. If you can't go past 20 psi you have either a problem with the piston being worn out or, a problem with the cut out switch. This video is how to replace a leaking regulator valve.
I have a craftsman 30 gallon 6hp... will that husky regulator fit it also...also what did it cost? thax
I don't know, you'll need to take off the regulator and take it to the store with you and match up the threads. Likely, it will. I think I paid $25-30 for the regulator.
Craig Arndt thax
I've got the same compressor, same leaky regulator, do you have the Husky regulator part number?? Thanks
+SteveSkal Sorry, I should have put this in the video. The part number is HDA70503AV.
What part number is it I have the same issue
sorry to bother you but my regulator wont go over 40 psi and it a brad new unit would it be regulator.
I don't know if its the regulator or the pump itself. Hard to say. You may want to make sure its the correct regulator for the compressor and make sure the issue isn't worn out rings in the pump.
Can i use this regulator on a non husky unit?
How did you get the leak in the knob to stop?
Randy Ledford It was leaking because I installed it backwards, I didn't follow the arrows on the regulator.
Sorry man I was really tired when I watched your video, now that I've re-watched it. I see that you explained that already. I had a regulator leaking from the knob as well. Turned out that it was the gasket inside was pinched just a little bit on one side. Letting air pass through. After I tore into it the second time I saw the problem. Thank you for replying. Good video as well.
It's all good, I actually needed the video to remind me myself! Sometimes I get questions on things I did so long ago, that for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed them. Have a good weekend.
Does this show both the tank pressure and the regulated pressure?
Just regulated pressure. This compressor finally died a few years ago.
@@CraigArndt Thanks I was hoping it would show both
Wat part number was that regulator
I am not sure, it’s an old video and the compressor quite last year for good.
HA! You didn't fix anything. You just bought a new one!
