Air compressor pressure switch problems

[romany275]

Hello all - new to the forum and I need some help. I purchased a used air compressor, a Devillbiss L5020 (120 volt, 20 gallon, 5HP, 6.7 cfm@90). The unit runs fine but there were some leaks here and there so I started removing all the fittings to re-seal them. On one fitting I decided it would be easier to remove the pressure switch to rotate the pipe out of the tank - big mistake. In the process of taking it off it sprung apart and I have no idea how it goes back together. Has anyone been inside of one of these things to coach me through it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Photos of the pressure switch would be helpful. Is it a Condor switch. They are a helpful group of guys at extension 102 and 101 if indeed it is a Condor.

How do you know you have all the parts when the thing made a run for it?

For a few bucks your local tractor supply has new replacement pressure switches. It sounds like you may need one if the thing flew apart anyhow.

Also, CH sells parts directly to consumers, that is where I got my last pressure switch.
