Nipple HF002401AV-S

This genuine OEM replacement nipple is designed for use in air compressors, serving as a critical connector between the pressure switch, the tank, and the regulator. A damaged or corroded nipple can lead to air leaks and inconsistent pressure, affecting overall performance. To check for leaks, apply soapy water to the fittings around the pressure switch and watch for bubbles. If replacement is necessary, the process typically involves disassembling the pressure switch. Begin by draining the tank using the valve at the bottom, then remove the coupler from the regulator and unthread the nipple. Access the wire connections by removing the pressure switch shroud, and carefully note the position of each wire before disconnecting them—starting with the motor wire, followed by the cord wires and ground wires. Remove the strain relief, pressure gauge, and the airline connecting the check valve to the switch. Finally, unthread the pressure switch from the tank nipple and remove the nipple itself. When reassembling, it is recommended to use thread tape to ensure a proper seal. This replacement part is sold individually.
