- This is a genuine head valve for nailers and staplers. The head valve is responsible for controlling the flow of air to the cylinder. When the trigger is pulled, it creates an imbalance of pressure, which opens the head valve and fires the piston. The head valve is prone to wear over time, so it is important to inspect it often. The seals on the head valve or the body itself can begin to harden and eventually crack, and this results in air leaking from the gun exhaust. For this repair you will need an Allen wrench adjustable wrench and a screwdriver. This plastic head valve is sold individually.

Used craftsman illustrated part breakdown to see ... Read more how everything fit together. Throughly Cleaned all broken pieces out of cylinder and change o ring seals from old valve to the new one. Then reassembled both guns. A couple of pointers the nailer rams will only fit one way. The guide tracks must be aligned to the front of the gun to preclude binding. A light coat of petroleum jelly protects the o rings and lets you use less force to put the parts together.
Old head valve was made Of a carbon looking material. New one look to be Teflon so they should hold up longer.
After reassembly check operation the load up and get to work
