How to Rebuild the Regulator on an Air Compressor (Part # N008792)

[@jaylundgren3451]

This was a very well done video. It was clear to see, the guy kept his hands out of the way and he spoke loud enough for anyone to hear. His English was very good and this is the type of videos that should be made for any type of repair. GREAT JOB!

[@optimistichorizon]

Great info. Did not help me diagnosis my problem but gave me the confidence to disassemble the unit and determine that the square threaded cylinder with a C-clip was the culprit. The hexagonal nut threads up the square threaded portion stripped out. I will post a reply video shortly if someone else has this same issue. Thank you for the video.

Great video, my Dewalt regulator came apart and went back together exactly as described and is now working perfectly. I appreciated the clear audio and bright lighting that was used in filming. Keep up the good work.

I have a Craftsman air compressor that looks very similar in design to this Porter Cable. The regulator is leaking and needs replacing. Glad I saw this so now I know what I'll be getting into. Looks very easy. Thanks!

[@RPPerry1984]

Great video, Thanks for posting and helping out the average homeowner with a very easy to understand step by step. Plan on rebuilding mine tomorrow.

[@Moondog9322]

Great video! I just bought my Bosch compressor last summer and the regulator is already acting up and won't hold pressure. The knob looks very similar as yours. Mine is supposed to "lock" the pressure by pushing in on the knob. Thanks much!

Very helpful. Just fixed my compressor after watching this video.

[@BigBubba66]

Thank you for making this video. It was very helpful.

[@LodgeLifestyle]

Great to the point and easy to follow. My compressor works perfectly now! Thanks!

[@FBiTOPDOG]

great advice I repaired mine with this video

[@macros52]

Exactly what I needed, to the point and all is good now. Thank You!

[@briansmith203]

Thanks, kit worked perfectly. Good clear video instructions.

[@craigberry902]

Simple but informative. Thanks

[@joedstephens11]

Thanks, watched several of your videos, Helpful!!!! Used this one to know how to take a Husky apart and just clean it,, worked great,, thanks

[@BasicPoke]

Hello, thanks for the video. I have a Porter Cable and just replaced the pressure switch. It was not the original switch. Now my regulator does not keep the pressure down at what it is set at, but allows the pressure higher. I can hear the air hissing out of it. The switch goes up to about 140 psi then turns off. Any ideas what the problem is? It never did this before.

[@madmikesqft]

This was extremely helpful! Nice job! Thank you so much!

[@edwardweiss6784]

Very clear explanation. Thanks.

[@rollerco]

Great Video, straight to the point.

[@artcc326]

Nice Job of Instruction

[@randallblake1213]

When storing a compressor for an expended length of time, should you keep it pressurized or unpressurized?

[@channelcat832]

I have a 150 psi pancake porter cable compressor but it won't shut off it keeps building pressure until the pressure relief valve pops out do you know what might be wrong with this compressor?

[@glennbrooks2248]

I have a Porter Cable C2006 Type 2, I believe(Help ID'ing type would be appreciated). Is there a regulator rebuild kit available for my compressor ?

[@fanemp]

good instructions thanks

[@floyd6502]

excellent video.

[@sharpscornerx2]

What are some of the problems that require a regulator repair?

[@jamescor1491]

great video, keep up the good work...

[@__-pl3jg]

Where can I find that exact rebuilt kit?!? Those are the parts I need. I've looked all over your website and can't seem to find any rebuild kits let alone that particular one. Thanks.

[@FIXTechGuides]

The regulator repair kit is part number N008792 on our website.

[@__-pl3jg]

The cost of a parts kit is more than a brand new regulator! What gives? Do you guys negotiate on pricing? If not then I guess my old regulator will end up in my metal scrap pile. Who buys this overpriced nonsense?

[@aztecred92]

Informative video. Thanks!

[@adamm2716]

hey I just ordered a replacement manifold from you guys, but i was wondering, could i link two compressors together if i had a hose with two male connectors on each end and i just ran the auxiliary compressor to the compressor with two outlets then ran my air tool off the other outlet on the same compressor shouldn't that feed the one air tool two tanks of pressure? allowing both compressors to power one tool?

[@FIXTechGuides]

Hi Adam, thanks for your question. I would recommend you contact a repair shop in your area about this question. Although we have heard of this being done, it is probably a good idea to discuss it with someone in your area, so you can do it safely and effectively. Good luck with your repair!

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

MY Porter Cable regulator is different and seems to be missing parts, which, I say 'seems' because although I do not remember it having any other parts than the ones I now have, it is shown in a diagram to have other parts than I have, and I am at a complete loss as to where these parts would go or how to mount them, but at is sits, right now, this one can not hold air because it has a little vent in the center of the piston which vents out into the open air. My original did not leak until the hard plastic piston broke on it, and at this moment, I can not find the original to see if it has a vent in it to compare, because I moved it and now do not know where I put it.

[@FIXTechGuides]

Hello, could you please supply your model number of your compressor. It would help us answer your question.

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

C2002 TYPE 7

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

Mine is like this guy's [internally] where the parts are leaking. I think I shall try what he did, it makes sense, but first, I am just going to glue the hole shut to stop the leaking. If It breaks like the original did, I will try the screws and washers like he did. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqXHiISXqL1pjJo Just too bad I did not see this guy's video BEFORE wasting 20$ on another plastic disk!

[@FIXTechGuides]

Hello, on the compressor shown in the video, you are able to obtain a regulator repair kit. On the Porter Cable C2002 Type 7, there is no repair kit available. You would have to order the complete Manifold Assembly part number N082939SV.

[@BlackSwan912]

Thank you much!

[@nancyeno6340]

MARK - I followed your instructions on the video for my Porta Cable Air Compressor, N008792. MY Model # is CPF 23400S-2 4 gal. Now assembled and running BUT the regulator knob does not adjust the air pressure on the tool side. You did not show the post in the video. You left it inside the plastic piece. Where should the adjuster nut on the post be positioned for the assembly. I tried all the way to the bottom of the post and half way up the threads but neither of these positions allow any air to be released to adjust the psi going to the tool. The tank guage reads 35 psi and the tool side reads 145 psi when the automatic shut off turns off the compressor. I can turn the regulator all the way in to a very tight and all the way out to zero pressure on the regulator knob spring with absolutely no regulating happening. HELP

[@FIXTechGuides]

This sounds like the Regulator is sticking. Some of the Porter Cable and Dewalt models have a rebuild kit available. Yours is only showing a new regulator part number D27253.

[@wazupuass]

thanks for info

[@rayriley3366]

Does this apply to. Craftsman as well?

[@MothRetra]

+Ray Riley It may very well apply. I checked my Craftsman 26-gal. compressor's manual and its Parts List shows the same part number (i.e. N008792) for the regulator repair kit.

[@17buckrogers]

is it the same on a black max 27 gallon compressor my knob froze up

[@FIXTechGuides]

Hi Jeff, sorry I am not able to answer your question, since we are not a Black Max distributor. I would suggest contacting the manufacture.

[@javierconcha1907]

I need one for a porter cable c2002

[@MyIvank]

Not bad at all...

[@nancyeno6340]

Is anybody at ereplacement answering these comments??

[@FIXTechGuides]

Louis Eno I forwarded your question on to our repair team and am just waiting to hear back from them. It can take a little while for them to get back to me due to the large volume of questions we receive. If you need immediate assistance please feel free to call us at 1-866-802-6383.
