I bought it new at Home Depot back in 2006. I own a Husky 1.7 HP 26 Gal air compressor (model WL660900AJLAGM01). Ordered from amazon $5 shipping even with prime, shipped from Reno to California. The fittings are about $10 each found on amazon or ebay made by dynapex. You might want to youtube how a compression fitting works before you try this, I pinched the sleeve on one of them but i had another 3/8 sleeve laying around to replace it. I think the threads must be an irregular NPT, maybe a proprietary size? Just like the drain plug is not the common thread that you find on most compressor’s drain. I don’t think the threads are really M14x1.5 although it almost fits and with some extra thick pipe tape I’m pretty much there. Then after trying RTV, JB Weld, and flaring the outlet tube inside of the pump, eventually the tube snapped. The oring melted and the tube popped out just as began spraying top coat on my car so I daisy chained a few large worm drive clamps around the outlet tube and compressor, which actually held up well while I painted, but is not a long term solution to say the least. I messed with it and got it working, btw I broke my outlet tube tries to jerry rig something up to fix quickly. I also bought some copper tubing and bent it with a cheap pipe bender, nothing fancy. So tried measuring the threads of the outlet tube discharge coupler and came up with about M14x1.5 and I found one company that makes compression fittings that size. I’ve got some paint work ahead of me and I need to get this resolved. I had gotten this compressor fairly new but used nearly 20 years ago and it has served me well. I can’t imagine why I had not had this problem before. When started up it appeared that it was going to be OK but when it reached 135 lbs it ruptured the line again. I had picked up the check valve at Graingers and decided there must be something wrong with it and since it was not all that expensive, I decided to order one online, which cost a little more. The temperature that the plastic hose going to the unloader valve reaches causes the hose to rupture before it comes anywhere close to the cutoff point. After replacing the check valve that problem was solved but now I have a new one. Found out that it needed the check valve replaced. Not taking the time to figure out what was what, I replaced it and the same thing occurred when I cranked it up again. My Husky 60 gallon compressor started blowing air out the pressure switch. My Husky air compressor cycles on and off?.Husky fills to 80 PSI and then cuts out?.Issues about problems with Husky compressors sent in before: We look forward to providing assistance, both us and the visitors to this site. If you have a particular area on the compressor, make sure you add a photo of the compressor, and then a closeup or two about where the problem is. Make sure you include your model number and any other details about the condition of your compressor to allow others to help you. Or, you can post your Husky compressor question or parts needs here. The Home Depot website will eventually get you to a phone number you can call. That repair depot is a good source for parts, as many of the parts are interchangeable from other brands, since so many different brands are made by the same company or companies. Ask them if they have a preferred repair shop if they fix air compressors under warranty, rather than just trashing them. The logical first source is the Home Depot store where you bought the compressor.
When it does, who fixes it and where do you get parts? After all, it’s only a matter of time before your Husky air compressor (or any air compressor for that matter) fails. The issue with who makes the Husky brand of air compressors is one of reputation (quality wise) and the source for spare parts. There is likely truth in both claims, as it seems that some Campbell Hausfeld air compressors (and for that matter, many other well known air compressor brands) are made by Chinese manufacturers. Other sources point to the Chinese company Ningbo Huasheng Air Compressors Co. Some on line sources point to Campbell Hausfeld as the manufacturer of Husky air compressors. We spent quite a bit of time researching this issue. These are not manufactured by Home Depot either, but are commercially produced and branded Husky. Of course, the Home Depot Husky brand extends into many hardware related products, like air and hand tools, for example.
