Air compressor experts I need your help! **pic inside**
 
Hey all, I'm having trouble sourcing a part/number for my compressor.

It's an 8 gal campbell hausfeld air compressor. The part I need is the 3 way manifold located just under the pressure switch circled below. I cracked it by overtightening an air fitting.

Can anyone help me out?

See if you can remove the manifold from the pressure switch. If you can, and it has 1/4" npt threads, which I think it should, just get a 1/4" black pipe "T" and use that instead. Less than $2 fix.

If you can't remove the manifold, what I would do is seal the cracked output with lots of jb weld and a 1/4" plug, put the "T" below the manifold and run my air line from the "T".

If that fails you can buy a new pressure switch from Princess Auto for about $20.
