Compressor switch question

[Iron-Iceberg]

My compressor switch is leaking. I need a new switch but it looks like the switch has been discontinued. It's a Hubble 69mc8
Does anyone have a recommendation for a new one?
220V 5HP motor.

Pressure switches aren't brand specific, just go to harbor freight and get one for the pressure rating and amps you need.

Double check the check valve on the tank inlet first. They are a more common issue than the unloader

Best price I just found for a double poll 3 to 5 hp switch is condor from Zoro.
It is easy to set up and you can get it with an unloader and manual auto-off switch.
You can usually get 15% off promo code.

Thank for the responses. Yea it's not the check valve it's leaking inside the switch. The one I have doesn't have an unloader or an on-off switch on it. I'll look on Zorro

If you don't have the unloader you don't need it, but the on-of switch is a nice upgrade.

Just installed this on my compressor build project. Works fine, $17 shipped. If you don't need the unloader, just ignore it.

That switch does not list the pressure range.
If you have a 2-stage pump it might be able to be set where you want it (unless you want it at 125PSI)

That said, it looks like a great price.

Don't know what the max is, 1/2 turn on one adjustment screw on mine took it to 135 PSI cutout, which is where I left it.

If a higher pressure is needed, here's a similar one, no unloader:

Haven't seen/used it, but looks to be by the same manufacturer.

Darn, wish I saw those when I was shopping last week.

That is a great price
