Learn how to maintain the parker valve found in your blast pot's control box.
Maintenance Procedures
- Take the end caps off.
- Pull the spool out.
- Replace the O-Rings as needed.
- Lubricate the piston with lithium grease.
- Reinstall the piston and end caps.
It's important to reinstall the piston and end caps in the same orientation as they were taken out.
We recommend keeping the drain cracked open on the small air filter / regulator. It's a shallow bowl, so if water starts to build up, it can carry over to the Parker valve and it will wash the grease off.
