This item has been sourced from the original manufacturer and is intended to be used with Bostitch air compressors. The pressure switch is a vital component of the compressor that signals the motor to turn on or off based on the pressure in the tank. A faulty switch can either not turn on the motor and not allow enough pressure to build, or not turn the motor off and potentially overload the motor. This item is available as an individual replacement part.

Resolved the issue with reasonable cost
My BOSTITCH CAP1512 air compressor would not shutoff, causing the pressure relief valve to open when the tank hit 155 psi. The valve would stay open until the tank pressure lowered to 70 psi and then would close, where the cycle would start over. The old pressure switch had a lot of rust in the air opening, which I'm sure is a result of me not emptying the condensate each time I used the compressor. The replacement of the pressure switch consisted of removing the 8 or so screws holding the black plastic cover on the front and back together and removing one push to connect/quick release tube, allowing access to the switch. Once reachable the switch replacement is very straight forward, with no issues in re-assembly. It took me 30 minutes to replace the switch start to finish. The compressor is now shutting down at the correct tank pressure. Ordering from eReplacementParts was easy and the part was shipped and delivered in 7 days, with a total cost that is 15% of a new compressor.

So far working fine
A little challenge to get at, but easy fix on my compressor. Saved me from buying a new unit as I am a Carpenter and use that unit a lot.

The worst part was removing the old switch. Both covers and 2 of the rubber feet had to be removed to get at the old switch. Then there was no room to get a wrench on the switch, so I had to use a vice grip pliers to clamp unto the switch, Reinstalling the new switch was very easy and then putting everything back together.

Unit would overpressure and cause relief valve to blow.
1. Since relief valve pressure should be higher than compressor shutoff switch, when relief valve popped at it\'s correct pressure and compressor was still running, I realized the compressor shutoff switch was sticking.

3. I pulled off the two wire connectors on the pressure switch and used a deep socket to remove the switch.
4. I installed a new switch using Teflon tape to seal the threads and reinstalled the miscellaneous wires etc in reverse order. Tested compressor and all is well.

Compressor would not shut down after reaching maximum pressure
Gaining access to the pressure sending switch was fairly easy, You will need an extra long phillips screwdriver to be able to reach the screws holding the covers together on the Bostitch Trim Air compressor. 2 of the screws were hidden behind a decal.

Before approaching maximum pressure safety switch would blow.
I had to remove all the plastic covers to get to the pressure switch. Once the covers were removed it was pretty easy to replace the pressure switch. The space around the switch is a little tight so it took a while to unscrew the old switch 1/4 turn at a time. To install the new switch all I did was use a little blue Loctite on the thr

First I replaced the safety switch which did not fix the problem. Bostitch technical support told me to replace the pressure switch which did fix the problem.

The compressor would build pressure and then the safety valve would release and and the pressure would drop immediately and the compressor would start over again.
