HI,
I have speedaire compressor built in 1966 the motor and tank seem to be in complete working order. problem is
there is no check valve and I have installed a new pressure switch . so where would the check valve be located and does the check valve need to be connected to the pressure switch I have included a photo if this will help.
the tank filler tube is 3/4" copper to the right of the compressor then I have a 1/4" piece of copper from the left end of the tank to the new pressure switch which now seems to be incorrect . my pressure switch is a condor 100/135 4 port,90 unloader . ?I know zilch about compressor setup and need what ever help I can get

Thanks for the post!
Wow, an oldy but a goody you have there. These are solid pumps.
You're almost there...you need to install the Check Valve in the main tank Inlet, which is right where the 3/4" supply tube enters the tank (where the red arrow is pointing in my attached photo).
The Check Valve (that we sell) will have an 1/8" FPT port on the side which will allow you to route your 1/4" Unloader Line from the Pressure Switch to it.
So, your 1/4" copper unloader tube from the pressure switch will be routed to the right side of the tank, in the side of your Check Valve.
You can view our Check Valves here: www.mastertoolrepair.com/air-compressor-...k-valves-c-25_4.html ).
This should do it.
Feel free to reply with any additional questions!
