If you call and it actually works leave a note..I would be interested ...
After several attempts and on the 20th some ring finally they answered phone. Very friendly, helpful. They are called IMS in Fullerton, Calif, 1928 W Malvern Ave. Very reasonable I felt in price, $10 plus $5 shipping for a "Air Regulator Manifold". I'll send check plus description of what I want and now we'll see if they deliver. Could of gave them Credit card over phone and ordered today but felt a little funny about that since they were hard to find, we'll see.

Thanks for the info. I was desparate so I got another little compressor and gave this one to the mower repair guy. He was going to try to make it work. I will pass this on to him. Congrats on your repair. They are a nice little compressor, never had a problem with mine till I pulled it off the shop counter and it hit the floor on the elbow. Other than that it still worked.

I had absolutely no problems until I pulled it off my bench and it hit the concrete. I found it didn't do its own stunt work well :(. It only broke a small piece but thats all it took as parts can't be found except what was mentioned here. Other than that the pump still worked. As far as what it is supposed to do. For the price, I would get another with no reservations.
Good Luck.

OK. I picked it up and have a question. The instructions say to remove the clear plastic oil cap and replace it with the oil cap. The only cap I have is a black plastic cap that is already on the unit. Attached to that cap is a note to replace the shipping plug with the working oil fill plug.

I have no other plug in the box. What should the real plug look like?

I called and it was picked up in about 3 rings. The woman on the line said we had a bad connection, my end was breaking up so I told her I would call right back.

The second call took about 7 - 10 rings before it was picked up. I called at around 4:30PM eastern.

I have been happy with the Have Model 1113C, 2HP, 13 Gal.
The coupling joints are less than good, they tend to rust. Had one leaking without hose connected, bought a brass one, then caused my own problem. When tightening it I broke the cast mahifold/regulator. My fault. Got the new part very reasonable in cost. I've been happy with it, I use it for blowing out things such as filter, water hoses for winter storage, have yet to use it with air tools. The 13 gal holds plenty of air for that.

The coupling adapters are junk. The one on mine next to the tank pressure gauge leaks when a hose is connected.

Now I'm wondering if I should try swapping it out for a new brass adapter and risk breaking it, or returning it.

Did yours break by over tightening it? or did it bend funny and crack?

Sorry, one more quick question if you don't mind. This is my first oil compressor. Kind of a dumb question but I'm looking through the manual and parts listing and the only way I can see to empty the oil is by removing the oil glass. Is that how it's done?


I looked again and I don't see a drain plug anywhere, and the oil glass looks to be sealed up pretty good so I don't think that would be removed for it. I'm a bit stumped.

I'm not familiar with this particular compressor, but I used to work on compressors, and still do some work on them-I retired. The plug in the oil filler hole when shipped does not have any "breathing" capabilities. The plug which goes into this hole should have some method of "breathing" the crankcase, to prevent moisture build-up. IF you cannot find the plug which goes into this hole, you can get by with drilling a very small, less than 1/32" hole in the cap for breathing, the smaller the better actually. You may find a small amount of oil loss after this, but it will be minimal compared to helping your compressor. Thanks, David

Yes the couplings are cheap metal un-plated. When I replaced one that was leaking I over tightened it and cracked the manifold. Haven't replaced the manifold yet, but when I do I will be extremely careful not to over tighten. Plan on replacing both couplings with brass ones. Overall I have been very happy with the unit, like I said before I use it alot for filling tires and balls for the grand kids, blowing out filters on shop vac as well as wife's vaccumm. Saving a bunch of money not having to buy filters on a regular basis. This winter have several jobs to complete that I use nailers, expect to have no problems.
