ingersoll rand air compressor safety valve factory

The 32174286 OEM safety valve from Ingersoll Rand is set to release air pressure in the aftercooler and discharge lines if the pressure were to ever reach 325psi or above. This is a common safety valve that was used on several of Ingersoll Rand"s reciprocating air compressors. The safety valve was typically installed on the air cooled aftercooler itself. On several of the older model Ingersoll Rand piston compressors the 325 psi safety valve was threaded directly onto the check valve.

This valve was used on multiple models besides the units listed above. Please contact our parts department for confirmation this will fit your air compressor.

**Please note the 325psi safety valve is different than the 150 or 200psi safety valve that was commonly used on receiver tanks. If you are looking for a receiver tank safety valve, please confirm the maximum pressure on your receiver tank and contact us for proper sizing and application.

This safety valve sits on the low pressure head on several models of the Ingersoll Rand T30 two stage pump. The safety valve has a maximum pressure rating of 80psi and threads into the pump with ¼” threads.

It is extremely rare that this safety valve goes bad. If the valve is blowing off, it is typically indicative of faulty valves on the inside of the pump. Bad valves will cause the safety valve to blow, as the inlet valve on the high pressure side does not close on the piston upstroke, therefore releasing high pressure air back through the intercooler into the low pressure head.

When the safety valve pops, you will need to replace the reed valves on the inside of your pump. Since this part was used on a number of different IR pumps, the valve/gasket kits for these models will vary. Please contact our parts department with your piston pump model number and we will be happy to find the correct valve and gasket kit for your compressor.

Compressor Valve Replacement Valves have to perform with minimum resistance or power will be wasted and components will wear at accelerated rates. All of this is why valve maintenance should be considered a top priority. Time and effort spent on improving valve service life will reduce the costs associated with downtime such as loss production and compressor rental. Longer service life means you will not have to buy replacement parts as often. And if done correctly, you can practically eliminate the need to replace the expensive valve bodies.
