Replacement Piston for Unloader Valve

Over time, constant pressure can begin to wear out certain parts in any pump. When this happens, replacement parts or kits come in handy. The part number Y60014551 refers to a specific General Pump OEM piece which can be used as a replacement part for the PLSR4LVNCV and PLSR4HVNCV unloader valves. Y60014551 is a stainless steel piston built with durability and performance in mind. It will easily install into unloader valves with no check valve.

Piston:

• Built for use with PLSR4LVNCV and PLSR4HVNCV unloader valves
• Made from stainless steel
• General Pump OEM part

How to Tell if Piston has Gone Bad in Unloader Valve?

Detecting a faulty piston in an unloader valve is crucial for maintaining efficiency. If the piston is compromised, the unloader valve may begin to leak air or fail to discharge completely, which can lead to decreased system performance and potentially costly downtime. Common signs indicating a piston has gone bad include erratic pressure readings, unusual noises during operation, and unexpected fluctuations in compressor performance. Furthermore, visual inspection often reveals wear and tear on the piston, such as scores or grooves, which can compromise the airtight seal needed for optimal function. Regular maintenance checks are advised to catch these issues early and ensure the unloader valve continues to operate effectively. Consequently, replacing worn-out components like the piston in a timely manner can significantly improve system reliability and lifespan.
