C2002 Manifold check valve

[dbilleaudeau]

I have a pancake compressor that was purchased in 2010. Recently I noticed that pressure was not being diverted from the tank through the manifold pressure regulator outward to the hose (output gauge reads 0 pressure). When disassembling the pressure regulator, I noticed the plastic check valve nipple internally was broken off. In looking at the parts manual, the only replacement is the manifold. Can i purchase just the valve assembly without purchasing the entire manifold? Thanx, DBilleaudeau

Hey dbilleaudeau, It seems that Porter Cable has a problem with this year(2010) model. I received one for christmas 2010 and I'm having the exact same problem with mine. Unfortunately the repair places where I live will not touch my compressor without a receipt so I am dead in the water. I hope someone responds with some good news.

Hello dbilleaudeau,

Porter Cable does have a 3 year limited warranty from date of purchase. Contact either a PC factory Service Center or an Authorized Service Center, hopefully you still have a receipt.


Hello ParaBellum,

You might try to contact the Porter Sales rep. in your area, and explain your situation maybe he can take care of your problem.

Good luck
