Product Description

?

This O-ring is compatible with various models of compressors made by DeWALT, Black & Decker, and Bostitch. It is an authentic replacement part from original manufacturer. An O-ring is used to prevent pressure loss between joined rigid parts by creating a seal. Many tools require working O-rings in order to function. Please check that the correct O-ring is being used in the correct position, as many tools use multiple different O-rings throughout. Sold individually.

Head Bolts Broken off

Two head bolts were broken off so I had to drill them out and clean up all of the threads in order to put the unit back together, this was the hard part. Once that was done all I had to do was reassemble the unit back together and clean up some wire problems. Then after that did a test run and also found the pressure switch was turned up to full so that the compressor would not shut off yet at 200 lbs, so I turned that down so that the unit would turn off at 160 lbs and on at 120 lbs, then set the regulator to deliver air to the tools at 100 lbs. unit now runs great.
