Continuous run unloader

[Nebula]

Anyone know a UK source for a continuous run unloader valve such as the CDI Valves Load Genie? I can find USA sources such as Grainger but no luck in the UK. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4TK14

Machine mart list a pressure unloader (third from bottom).....in their catalogue it looks very similar to the one you linked to.

Thanks for the suggestion, Machine Mart are out of stock and no ETA for more. Whilst trawling the web last night I found this, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Air-Compresso...ash=item587d002f89&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262. They also have the throttle control that works with the unloader. Waiting for a shipping cost from the USA.

There is a compressor repair shop near us in Alfreton and they supply all kinds of parts like this. They are good for advice on what you need as well and don't just try to sell you the dearest thing in the shop.
work(01773) 836816, they may be worth a try.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. I have sourced the items now direct from Grainger. They are sending me a continuous run unloader valve and a throttle control to go with it (this reduces the engine to tickover when the system is not calling for air) for $72.50 including shipping from the states. There may be a little bit of import duty if customs can be bothered but it won't be much. Grainger were very helpful and I have an email address for the UK account manager, PM me if anyone needs it.
Thanks again.
