Official King-Craft air compressor parts

Common King Craft air compressor parts that you may need to replace

• Pressure switch. The pressure switch turns the compressor on and off to regulate the tank air pressure.
• Safety valve. Attached to the manifold, the safety valve pops open to relieve excessive air pressure when the pressure switch fails to shut off the pump at the cut-out pressure setting.
• Unloader. The unloader is a valve installed between the pump and tank that opens to release pump head pressure when the compressor stops, enabling the compressor to restart easier.
• Valve plate. Fixed above the cylinder, the valve plate controls air movement into and out of the cylinder to compress the air.
• Check valve. Attached to the air tank inlet, the check valve prevents air from back flowing to the pump from the tank when the pump stops.
