Apex Tool Supply AB-9051116 Pressure Reducer Replacement for Stanley Bostitch, Husky, Air Compressors

The media could not be loaded.  This was a perfect fit for the Central Pneumatic 3 gallon pancake compressor from HF. Just be warned, it will come installed in a manifold that will not be needed for this application. Put it in a Vice or a pipe wrench and remove the regulator from the manifold. It will then thread right into your compressor after removing the old one. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver for the 6 screws to remove the top cowl, and a crescent wrench for the regulator itself. Worked like a charm and less than 10 bucks! Thanks Amazon!

This was exactly what I needed to fix a 2009 pancake. Works excellently! Thank you for still making these parts for bostitch. I looked on their website and the shipping cost was more than the part. Free shipping with Amazon!

It was the exact thing I needed

Like some others mention, some might be able to just use the valve and knob instead of replacing the whole valve and body assembly. The Bostitch compressor I needed it for, has the full cover, which makes it hard to get a socket or a wrench on the valve section alone. I watched one video, of a temporary repair tapping out for a 3/8 bolt. This knob here on this brand, can spin all the way out, whereas the older one, had a clip inside so you couldn't so easily. I had to use a punch to drive it out. I had drilled the hole for the 3/8 bolt too large and than tried the 1/8th male pipe thread I than used a 1/8th drain cock, such as those used on the drain for the compressor tank or a radiator. But I did tap a little to far and the threads weren't as tight as they could have been. A thread locker would also be useful. The range of the valve might not close the regulator all the way as this one is still 40 at the stop. But it did open it to the 140 lbs. The drain cock is a left hand thread, so it works the opposite of the original. I plan on using this assembly on a compressor the doesn't have a regulator.

I needed a replacement valve for my old Bostitch 6 Gal Pancake Air Compressor Model #CAP60P-OF. My compressor wouldn't hold air because the red dial would constantly pop out when the air pressure built because the threads that held it in were wore out (The red dial is kind of in a vulnerable spot if you have to move the compressor or are working nearby but it is what it is). Anyway this replacement went in very easily and my compressor is up and running again.

It fit perfectly

I guess the moral of the story is you get what you pay for. This is basically a cheaper copy of the stock one on my Senco compressor that was leaking. Pay attention to the guys talking about the body cracking if you try to fully tighten it. The pipe threads are tapped too deeply, so it never really gets tight, and if you run it all the way on it will bottom out and crack the body. The threads for the gauge and air chuck aren't really tapped deeply enough. They go tight after 2-3 turns. So I broke it on install, and it leaked. The only reason it wasn't a total loss was that it was a good enough copy of the one I was replacing that I was able to take the seal out of this one and install it into my leaking one and I ended up with a mutt regulator that works and doesn't leak. Basically I way overpaid for an o-ring and some spare parts, but the compressor is fixed, so good enough. If I had it to do over again I'd just spend the money to get a correct Senco replacement, or just go match up the leaking o-ring at the local hardware store and replace just that. However, I needed the compressor fixed ASAP and I was able to do that, and as my tools are my livelihood I can't say it was a total waste, just that hindsight as always is 20/20.

The pressure regulator on my air compressor started leaking and let out air from the tank. Looked up the brand and model of compressor but could not find out the make of the regulator. So after looking at regulators on amazon I saw this one and it looked just like what I needed. So took a chance and got it. It was exactly what I needed and all I had to do was unscrew the regulator from the compressor and actually since it was the same all I needed was to unscrew the new regulator from the new junction block and screw it right in on the compressor. It has been working like new ever since !!! Now can regulate the outgoing pressure with no worries of a leak !!!

Funcionó muy bien en mi compresor, mantiene y regula muy bien la presión
