Factory-Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld HM700000RB 0.8 HP 8 Gallon Oil-Free Wheeled Vertical Air Com

Factory-Reconditioned Campbell Hausfeld HM700000RB 0.8 HP 8 Gallon Oil-Free Wheeled Vertical Air Compressor
  • Easy to read outlet pressure gauge is now 2-in in diameter to make it easier to read
  • Easy to adjust, the regulator knob is now 2-in in diameter and has soft touch points to make it easier and more comfortable to adjust the air pressure
  • Easy to maintain, the new CH easy tank drain makes it easy and convenient to empty the water from inside your tank to help prevent corrosion
  • The compressor's oil free pump requires no maintenance

This compressor served me well for about 2 1/2 years, though at only 8 gallons it will cycle itself back on very regularly with use of tools.

The other day as I was assembling the hosing/fittings to run a line to a hose reel on the celing of my garage, I replaced the stock connector on the outlet valve of the compressor. Once the system was assembled I discovered that there was a leak and traced it back to the compressor. Upon inspection today, I find the outlet of the regulator valve has cracked and broken, and is not repairable.

I haven't decided what to do with this yet, as the power switch, outlet regulator, and outlet pressure meter are all one piece. Have not contacted customer service, and I expect I am past the warranty. Maybe an 8-gallon holding tank?

For what it is worth, all other parts are perfectly functional.
