How To Diagnose And Replace A Bad Check Valve
If a check valve starts to fail, you will notice a slight leak in your air system. Generally, your air tank will begin to lose a little pressure over time, and in some cases, you might even notice a drop in pressure in one of your bags if you let your vehicle air up over a few days without touching it.
Also referred to as one-way valves, check valves only allow air to flow in one direction. Check valves are found at the end of compressor leader lines and help isolate your air tank from your bags. Check valves can fail over time and cause a slight leak in your system. Luckily it's not a big deal, and it's an easy fix! In the video below, we go over how to diagnose and fix a failing check valve. A failing check valve can be misunderstood for a lousy compressor or manifold. Instead of driving yourself crazy chasing ghosts, do a quick test of your check valve to help isolate your issue.
