Hey guys

Looking for a replacement high pressure switch for an air compressor, but no idea where to ring/look.

Any suggestions? Cheers

They seem to be quite standard but check the pressure range. I replaced one and it maxes out at about 600kpa whereas the old one went to 800ish or more. Taking the adjustment past 600 made it just never turn off so the pressure went way up pas 900 and it was still running.

Also pay attention to the order it has to go on. I attached the output manifold and gauges then found I couldn't turn it to put it on the tank because it hit the motor and handle. Had to take it apart and then re attach those bits once the switch was on the tank.
