Gardner Denver 2116855 Minimum Pressure Valve Maintenance Kit for Air Compressors

A Minimum Pressure Valve Maintenance Kit is a comprehensive set of high-quality OEM or OEM-equivalent replacement components designed specifically for the overhaul, repair, and preventive maintenance of a Minimum Pressure Valve (MPV). This all-in-one kit contains the critical wear parts and seals that are most susceptible to degradation over time, enabling a complete valve rebuild that restores it to like-new performance, ensuring system reliability and avoiding costly unplanned downtime.

Minimum Pressure Valves are critical for system safety and performance. Over time, their internal components wear out due to:

• High-Pressure Cycling: Constant opening and closing leads to wear on the poppet and seat.
• Contamination: Fine particles in the hydraulic fluid can score surfaces and abrade seals.
• Seal Degradation: Elastomer seals can harden, crack, or shrink due to age, heat, and chemical incompatibility.

Symptoms that indicate you need a maintenance kit include:

• Failure to Hold Pressure: Drifting loads or pressure drop indicating internal leakage.
• Slow System Response: Valve sticking open or closed due to worn parts.
• Visible External Leaks: From around the adjustment screw or body seals.

Using a dedicated maintenance kit ensures a correct, reliable repair with parts engineered to work perfectly together, restoring the valve's precise cracking pressure and sealing integrity.

Our maintenance kits are meticulously curated to include every essential component for a full rebuild. A typical kit includes:

• Poppet Assembly: The core sealing element. Precision-machined and lapped to match the original specifications.
• Seat Ring/Sleeve: The hardened mating surface for the poppet. Critical for a leak-tight seal.
• Spring(s): The component that determines the cracking pressure. Manufactured to exact load and rate specifications.
• O-Rings & Seals: A full set of high-quality elastomer seals for all ports, caps, and spools.
• Back-up Washers & Wear Rings: To prevent extrusion and guide moving parts.
• Thread Locking Fluid / Sealant: For securing adjustment screws during reassembly.
• Detailed Instructions: Step-by-step, illustrated rebuild guide with torque specifications and safety warnings.

This maintenance kit is designed for use with:

• Brand: Gardner Denver
• Valve Models: Compatible with specific MPV models (verify exact model compatibility)
• Common Equipment: Ideal for maintaining MPVs in air compressors and other industrial equipment

1. Isolate and Depressurize the hydraulic system completely.
2. Remove the Minimum Pressure Valve from the manifold or pump.
3. Disassemble the valve carefully, noting the order of components.
4. Clean all non-replaceable metal components thoroughly.
5. Replace all old parts with the new components from the kit.
6. Reassemble using the provided instructions and specified torque values.
7. Reinstall the rebuilt valve and test the system for leaks and proper pressure setting.

• Precision-Matched Components: Every poppet, spring, and seat is manufactured as a matched set to ensure perfect sealing and accurate pressure control.
• Premium Material Selection: Our seals are made from industry-leading compounds for maximum fluid and temperature resistance.
• Rigorously Tested: Every kit batch is validated to ensure it rebuilds a valve to original performance standards.
• Technical Support: Our expertise is behind every kit. Need help with the rebuild? Our technical service team is available to assist.

Maintenance Kits are organized by the specific Minimum Pressure Valve model they service.

To Order, You Will Need:

• Valve Manufacturer
• Valve Model Number
• Valve Serial Number (if applicable)
• Pump Model Number (if the MPV is pump-mounted)

Part Number Examples: KIT-MPV-100 | KIT-R4V08-10
