Not sure. Call SB and ask them. I know my compressor is working great!

My 30 Gallon Craftsman compressor recently siezed up and was tripping the breaker. Your issue sounds like the compressor runs a bit an then trips the breaker? The Saylor Beall two stage that I replaced it with is much nicer:D Good Luck!

IT'S ALIVE! I put all of the proper valve parts in, wired the compressor to the 220V breaker, and fired it up. It pumped right up to about 125psi, which is presumably what the pressure switch is set at. I didn't use any of the gaskets, but I'll hang onto them, in case I notice leaks as I use...

If you have to have an inspection, make sure you are playing whatever your local rules are. I built a garage in Milwaukee and I would have had to tie into the city sewage system.

Yeah, I have that document too. Both of the threaded caps in the photo I posted have the threaded hole in the center like the 4093-R, but after working with Jerry at Saylor-Beall, I guess I've come to the conclusion that perhaps somebody tapped two 4091-R retainers and used the 4113 retainers...

I contacted SB before I ordered the 4113-E Spacers. According to their documentation, and the guy I talked to at SB, the exhaust valves get these spacers. However, on my pump, part 4093-R (Retainers) are two different thicknesses. Two are thick and one is thinner. If there are two exhaust...

Just a quick update. I haven't had a chance to work on lapping the valves yet, as I've been preparing my garage for the air compressor. Making sure the 220V circuit is up to the task, and trying to get things put away. A kayak on the floor takes up a lot of space!:D I did find that somewhere...

Is there a disadvantage to just using the breaker? I'm working on setting up my compressor now so this is relevant to me.

I have a hat and a coffee mug. If you inquire about pricing, they are relentless with call backs.

Thanks! Why on glass? Lap the surface of the seats that contact the disks? That makes sense when I think about getting them to seal. The tops of the Pistons looked oil free to me.

Glad I'm getting such a warm welcome:D Mine is a 60 gallon, SB PN VT-735-60, but considering it is replacing an oil-less Craftsman 30 gallon, I think it will be just fine. I work at a place that I could get IR compressors at cost, but based on recent reviews, I couldn't justify spending $1000+...

Medical cylinders in the USA are required to have the shoulder of the cylinder a certain color. Green=Oxygen for example. Industrial gases are not required to be any special colors. Never judge a cylinder by the color, and always check the label. Oxygen cylinders should have a CGA 540 valve...

Good idea. I just ordered rings.

New guy here. First post and it is regarding this new to me 1984 Saylor Beall compressor. I picked it up (not literally, we used a forklift) for $300, and after reading some of the other threads on these beasts, I'm feeling pretty good about it. It is already single phase, I heard it run...
