leak at 110v air comp. water separator - Chester Stone - 04-08-2013

I am leaking air where the glass bowl screws onto the valve body. I have tried "O" rings but no success. Does anyone know what seal is required. Photo attached of the water separator.

Spoke with a tech about your air leak. The o ring is the seal. Look for a very small crack in the upper area where the o ring should seal.

Tom, thanks. Steve, thanks for asking and I will take a look tomorrow and report back.

Found a hair-line crack and ordered a new complete unit through Amazon, $47 with tax. The Parker model number of you original is 06F1C00021 which is replaced with model 06F12AC. Tom held my hand while I sorted all of this out.

I actually removed mine when broken and just bleed the water from the tank once a month or so and Mike E / Newell liked and agreed with this alteration/fix working fine and has for almost 3 years.

Larry, found that the bleed fitting leaked unless tighten with pliers. Too much work to bleed.

I installed a 3.00 petcock on the bottom of the tank, but understand that others may find it extra labor. I like to check all my systems often and its just on the list. Will talk soon about Mexico.....
