Porter Cable C2002 Regulator Repair
Переглядів 119 тис.7 років тому
If you have a Porter Cable pancake compressor, you may have found at one time that the regulator isn't allowing air pressure to your connected tools. I've found the issues is with a plastic piece within the regulator that needs to be replaced - but the part alone, if you can find it, is about $45 or more just to get that one piece. Here's a solution to fix the existing piece for less than $5.
A leak path remains in the screw thread and nut joint, also between washer and nut. Those need to be sealed as well.
Thanks works for me help me in my compresor
Them porta cables are junk I got a brand new one leaked in every joint just a junk box
Is there a repair kit for the c2002 type 3? I can’t find one that says it’s for my model. I can’t try this repair fix either because that center disk is destroyed from me trying to pull it out.
Looks like there are repair kits out there now on Amazon for fairly cheap. These didn't exist when I fixed mine - guess there is more demand for this now and the price is reasonable for the new parts. Verify that these work for your specific model. www.amazon.com/5140198-73-Replacement-Compressor-Regulator-D2002M-WK/dp/B09M5XBPKG/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=porter+cable+c2002+regulator+repair+kit&qid=1672440869&sr=8-1 www.repairtoolparts.com/dewalt-parts/dewalt-d55371-type-1-parts/dewalt-d24721-kit-isolator-w-screw
I have the identical compressor and ran into the same problem. The knob on mine had stripped and the plastic plunger had cracked. I followed your fix and substituted an RTV coated bolt for the broken plunger, which resolved the leak issue. The type 3 knob on mine is obsolete - offerings on ebay are cylindrical and not cone shaped. I shortened the regulator spring, which allowed use of the unstripped threads further back in the knob. Then I coated the inside of the knob with super glue gel. I reinstalled the knob and let dry. Afterwards I backed the knob out with channel locks, which effectively cut new threads.
Thanks for taking the time to share this clever idea for getting this "plastic fantastic" regulator back on the road again for next to nothing. I wish You the greatest good.
Glad this worked for you!
DUDE! YOU ARE THE MAN! JUST FIXED MINE EXACTLY LIKE YOU SHOWED US!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! SF
Thank you! I too tried super glue and failed. searched and searched for the correct rebuild kit and couldent find it. Then found your video! SUCCESS! Thanks again!
My compressor it takes a lot of charge the tank... More of 30 min! Do you think it's the regulator's problem? Or the compressor cylinder?
Perfect for a 3D print. We need a 3d expert to create the simple file for us.
Very clear and detailed explanation. Thank you.
Thank you Michael. Super fix, it saved my hurting brain and it leaves the compressor better than new with metal parts in place rather than the plastic that gave way. MacGyver would be proud of you.
Thanks Michel, i almost throw my porter to the garbage, here we go to do your innovation to restore my porter compressor, the little tine hole i do not know the function on it but yours look fine plugging the center hole..
THANK YOU!
Thanks for your help. Worked great. I used a 3/4 long 6-32.
Thanks, Jon. I am an old grandma with no intelligence about tools, etc. I was wondering how long and fat the bolt needed to be.
Exactly same problem with me today. Thanks for the video
Great great fix. I was very disappointed when mine broke and wouldn’t work but searched UA-cam and your fix did the trick. Thanks again!
Love it, great video, now I know what the deal is with mine....THANKS.....
My C2002 Type 3 was never used, sat in the basement and first time I tried it...nothing. NO inexpensive parts to fix. Right out of the box didn't work but you saved the day.
Great hack and thanks!
Can you do a video for a porter cable C2002 type 9 regulator kit change? Type 9 parts seem to be different.
Thank you, Michael, you have given me the confidence and fix to rebuild my unit. Simple simple. Thanks again.
That’s a Great DIY fix. I took the knob, spring and broken center piece out, but the outer ring seems stuck, how did you get that part out?
Can't remember off hand, but might have taken a wood screw or drywall screw and put it through the hole and tilted it to get some grip and pulled. it was either that or a paper clip and bent one end to make shift a hook to kinda put through the hold and pull it out. Hope one of those works for you.
I borrowed my brothers compressor just to see if it would be big enough for what I needed. The 2nd time I plugged it in this broke 😭 So glad I found your video. Thank you sir
Great job nice to.see people still doing things for themselves. On used market u wouldn't belive how many people sell their compressor says it's broken and $20 dollars later you've got a few prqctly new compressor
Thanks
there is a hole in the center (with o-ring to engage valve rod) it bleeds off excess air while regulating lower pressure. This regulator will not function as designed wth your recommended repair as it eliminates this necessary orifice.
I just ordered one of these compressors. It's reconditioned though. I wonder if I'll have trouble too. If I just leave the regulator alone, and just leave it set to 150 PSI will it be ok?
Fixed! Thanks for saving me $50!
I have Porter Cable too and it ain't broke yet but I'm taking notes just in case. Thanks Mike. Also like your "11/16 OD flat rubber sink washer" idea too Timothy B.
I was shopping for expensive parts to fix this same problem until I found your AWESOME idea! You are a damn genius! I had everything I needed on my bench. I didn't have epoxy on hand so I used silicone and it worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing the quick and free fix!!
after apply this fix, the pressure can only go up but won't go down. It that normal?
it should go up and down depending on how far you adjust the dial/knob. If you have it on too tight it will be set for a high presure.
@@mbakker1969 I notice that the original plastic pin that was broken has a small air release hole in the middle. This hole allow the air to release when you un-tight the knob (so the pressure can go down??). Or May be I don't have the correct screw size......
having trouble getting round black piece of plastic ... any suggestions on getting it out???
Been awhile since I've been on, sorry I missed this. don't know how yours broke off, but i used a small needle nosed pliers to get it out. If it's stuck in and nothing to grab onto, you can find a screw or something to poke into the center and try to put pressure on the sides as you try to pull it out. Good luck!
@@mbakker1969 I got the small round plastic piece out now trying to get the cover over regulator to come off. My compressor does not seem to have a small screw down in there holding it on. But can't get the cover to pop off. Tried a screw driver, allen wrench & prying from under the cover. I spent all of 54 cents to fix the regulator but there seems to be some air leakage from somewhere under the cover. Will try again later this week.
Good job! Thanks for posting this. Very helpful.
Excellent idea. I used your instructions to fix my compressor. It works fine now. You saved me at least $20. Thanks.
Thank you ,thank you . You saved me time and money .
Thanks for the tip on compressor fix Mike! Saved me some cash and taught me something to boot! I appreciate ya!
Go in and try to fix now
Thanks for the video. Saved my old c2002 type 3 compressor with parts I had in the shop. I took my other compressor apart to check it and oiled all the parts
If you search Repair Net or factory repair you can buy the repair parts to rebuild these, the parts are 1.80 shipping is 7 bucks in lower 48 states 3-5 business days delivery. Just search Dewalt service BLack/decker Porter cable dewalt all fall under the same Black and decker brands along with a few others. You should be able to order almost any part to fix your oilless pancake compressor.
Thank you so very much, as soon as I seen that one part can be removed and you had a small machine screw in there I had mine fixed in 5 minutes. :)
Brian Skurkis glad this worked for you!
Good solution, but this way the regulator will not be able to reduce working pressure.
It's always a pisser when for 20 cents u could buy the little part new, but hell no. They want you to spend 60 bucks for a whole new regulator and hose attachments manifold. Disgusting.
Go look on Dewalt's factory repair page you can buy the parts they cost 1.80 its the 7 bucks for shipping and 3-5 day wait. I just placed an order for the parts but Mine didn't break like his did I have to rebuild the regulator. Also Amazon has them for 33 bucks. These are cake to fix.
@@bobbg9041 Thanks.👍
This worked on my compressor. Thank you! Great video!
Thank you! I can't give you enough "thumbs up" for this solution. Combined with the sink washer recommendation from Timothy Burke, I repaired my compressor in about 20 minutes which included time finding the repair parts in my "home shop".
Glad this worked out for you! And Timothy Burke had a great solution with the rubber washer as well to make this even easier.
Bad engineering from Porter Cable Great Fix from Michael Bakker Thanks👍👍
I had the same model get stolen. Was bitching at work and a co-worker said "I got one you can have if you can get it working." My freecompressor is working fine now. Thanks Mike.
What sized hardware did you use
Fixed it!!! Thanks,
Wonderful fix.
