I have a small cheap air compressor that I use for various small things around the house.
The pressure switch needs replacement.
Problem is I don't know where to get one.
It's small and looks like a pressure switch on a cars brake lights system.
12amp 120 volt 135 psi max
Can anyone here point me in the right direction?
Thanks ahead of time!
 
What makes me think it is the switch is pressure will keep climbing until the release valve is triggered.
 
Go to Google, type 'compressor pressure switch' and the name of your compressor.

You will get 50 million hits, so have a look if anything matches what yours looks like.

Max legal industry pressure for shop air is, I think, 110psi.

I did just that for a couple hours.
Toolshop brand seems like a no name rebadged product.
But it does say very clearly max psi 135
What I don't understand is the ads for a switch that looks right but says
Two different numbers for pressure
Example
90psi110psi
Wth
Does that mean?
Which one is it?
