This replacement valve reed is a n authentic OEM item that is specially designed for Craftsman air compressors. Reed valves are commonly used in high-performance versions of the two-stroke engine, where they control the fuel-air mixture admitted to the cylinder. As the piston rises in the cylinder a vacuum is created in the crankcase beneath the piston. Please note this metal reed valve is sold individually.
The new reeds, which also fit a Sears compressor, were a perfect fit for mine.
Very cost effective alternative to a new compressor or dealing with Harbor Freight on the parts.
