For £50, you can't really go wrong. It'll always serve as a backup, if you end up upgrading.

It's considerably dirtier in real life and I wonder if it benefit from a service kit?

 

[mark328]

I would not even know where to get one from lol

Run it & see how it fares. If it's running fine, leave it be, for the time being. An oil change would be no bad thing though, & drain the water from the tank. There'll likely be some in there.

Thank you. What normally comes in a service kit for a compressor?

 

[mark328]

I tighten this as slight air leak and the internal thread popped. Can both this parts be bought ffs?

 

[mark328]

If anyone can point me in the right direction for parts, really hope I can buy the part.

 

[mark328]

It's a NRV with pastel and spring apparently

 

[mark328]

I'm quite sure it's not supposed to have that hole in it lol

 

[carbon]

Which hole? If you mean the dark one at the bottom then yes. How else is the air going to get to the receiver

That is a very valid point sir

 

[mark328]

For a non-operational part, strange how the threads have gone? The rubber seal squeezed out slightly on full build up and didn't even get a few mm turn, now it doesn't even sit in the hole.

You’ll need to check your thread sizes, have a look at this one

Pardon our interruption...

Thanks mate, I think the best thing is to go to a pneumatic local, I can take it with me then. Is there any special thread paste/lock I should use, cautious dealing with compressed air etc.

Wouldn't white tape be fine? Why would you need yellow (for fuel gas)?

Thanks

Spraying with a 50L compressor is going to be frustrating at best.

Do also remember to add a water trap some distance from the compressor itself to be effective. All compressors will output moist air and you do not want to be spraying paint with water contamination.

Thanks Joe Joepro, it's only for smart/spot repairs so should be fine. Need a new NRV 1st!
