Review on πŸ” Maximize Fluid Control with Control Devices Brass Check Valve by Neil Bodell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

This valve will fail

Used as a check valve for a 3/4 compressor after around 6-8 months of compressor operation continued to turn off the circuit breaker. Eventually the valve was found to be defective, the plastic end you see in the picture was sticking out of the hole about 1/4 inch or so which somehow caused the check valve not to close to keep pressure in the line for to let the next compressor start, not to let the pistons go and the fuse blown. I'm lucky I didn't damage the compressor.

Pros
  • Can be used as a reservoir check valve for small compressors or as a component of pneumatic circuits
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
