Reed valves are crucial components in compressor pumps, as they control the flow of air or gas through the system. When a reed valve fails, it can lead to a loss of pressure or efficiency in the pump. Repairing a compressor pump reed valve is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few steps.
The first step is to identify the type of reed valve used in the compressor pump. There are two main types of reed valves: flapper valves and poppet valves. Flapper valves are typically made of a thin piece of metal or plastic that is hinged at one end. Poppet valves are typically made of a solid piece of metal or plastic that is held in place by a spring.
