About this item

For the compressor pros and serious DIYers, this throttle control mechanism is essential for efficient air compressor operation. Designed for 3HP to 6.5HP engines with a 24-inch overall cable length, it's built to work with your pilot valve and unloader valve system. Here's how it works smartly: when your compressor hits the unload pressure (cut-out), the pilot valve sends a pneumatic signal that makes this throttle control extend and reduce your engine speed to idle. Then when the pressure drops to the load level (cut-in), it retracts and brings the engine back to normal operating speed. This isn't just about convenience - it saves significant fuel and extends the life of both your compressor and engine by reducing wear during unloaded cycles. The brass construction with viton seals and stainless steel components means it can handle the tough conditions compressor systems operate in. The cable is permanently lubricated and self-cleaning, which is crucial for long-term reliability. With a min actuation pressure of 80 PSI and max operating pressure of 500 PSI, it works with most standard compressor systems. The 1/8\ male NPT connection is standard, and the 0.65-inch stroke length with 6.7 LBF spring force provides the right actuation for typical engine throttle arms. Routing clamps help you mount it cleanly and protect the cable from damage. Whether you're maintaining existing equipment or building a new system, having a quality throttle control like this makes your compressor run more efficiently and last longer. Definitely a smart component for anyone serious about their air compressor setup!
