Overview

When air delivery has dropped off, one of the symptoms is usually a leaking or defective valve. We recommend our 32249294 Valve/Head Rebuild Kit. Our Ingersoll Rand equivalent repair kit contains all the necessary parts for a valve rebuild.

Upon reassembly, make certain the valves lay flat against the seating surface surrounding the port hole. Otherwise the valves will leak air, resulting in carbonization and reduced compressor output.

eCompressedair provides quality Ingersoll Rand equivalent parts that meet or exceed the OEM specifications. Aftermarket parts are more cost effective than brand name parts and can typically allow for a reduction in you annual maintenance costs over the life of the compressor.

How a Head Kit Works

A head/valve rebuild kit allows you to disassemble, inspect and replace valve parts, and reassemble the head. In normal conditions, compressors are reasonably free from carbon trouble. Carbon is caused by an increase in heat which can be caused by a leaky or broken valve, too high a discharge pressure, or incorrect oil level. Valves should be inspected and rebuilt if a loss of compressor capacity is indicated and can be traced to no other source.
