Non-Return Valve Spring & Seal - Air leaking from Air Compressor Pressure Switch
A common issue people have with their Air Compressor is air leaking from under the pressure switch. When most consumers think the pressure switch is at fault, its most likely the NRV that’s created the issue. This is a fair easier fix and doesn't hurt the wallet compared to replacing your pressure switch. The sole purpose of the Non-return valve (NRV) is to hold the tank pressure without releasing back pressure to the pump. If the seal isn't closed/sealed correctly this will create an air leak from the back of the pressure switch. The seal is a small part that has a huge role in the operation of an electrical air compressor. If this isn't maintained or serviced this can lead to other faults happening with your air compressor. Dirt particles or wearing of the seal will cause this to happen and we recommend that this is to be a part of your monthly or quarterly inspection. With the seal not closing correctly, this will create overloading of the electrical motor or capacitor burn outs along with pressurising of the pump sump. This also creates extra load when the air compressor goes to cycle under pressure. This is a serviceable part.
