Drain Valve

★★★★★

★★★★★

1 Review

This is a single OEM drain valve for an air compressor. A drain valve is a small device that is usually located at the bottom of the compressor air receiver. The drain valve can be opened or closed, and this allows water to exit the tank. Water builds up if air is left in the tank for an extended period of time, and if left for too long, it can start to rust out the inside of the tank and the drain valve can become clogged with rust or start to corrode. You should be draining the tank each time you use your air compressor to stop this from happening. This is a very quick and simple repair. Use a wrench to remove the old drain valve, and thread the new one into place by hand.

Hose Clamp This high-quality OEM metal hose clamp is a part found in air compressors, and is sold individually. This part can be used on multiple parts on the air compressor, so the exact location, and repair may differ. In general, it is used to clamp hoses. For this repair, begin by draining the air out of the tank to remove the pressure placed on the components.

Strain Reliever This is a strain reliever for your power tools. It found at the meeting place between your cord, and the outer tool housing. The relief is an important part for your power tool because it protects your cord from tearing and breaking due to constant pressure. Keep your relief in good condition because it will extend the life of the cord, and the machine overall.

This brush is a genuine Porter-Cable replacement part, not generic. As pictured, this brush is ready to install and includes carbon brush, wire lead, and spring. This item is sold individually. Over time, brushes will wear down and eventually require replacement. This brush will fit the models listed in the 'Compatibility' section below. It is not guaranteed to fit any other power tool models. • Worn brushes are often the cause of a poorly running motor • Replacing brushes can fix an intermittent motor • New brushes can restore a motor’s electric braking Carbon motor brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool components. Because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away, they will eventually require replacement. Worn brushes are common causes of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking, and reduced motor power. A worn out brush will often be worn down near the wire lead and may be cracked, pitted, or burned. When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to also inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which indicates a larger motor problem.

Router Motor Brush This motor brush is for routers. The motor brush transfers electric current to the spinning armature in the motor. Unplug the router before installing this part.

Urethane Retainer This is a manufacturer approved urethane retainer that is sold individually. The retainer secures the pins in the nailer and are known to deteriorate with use. A damaged retainer can become loose and fall off the pin in which they are retaining. This is a part that should be checked regularly.
