Why does the safety/relief valve keep popping on my Ingersoll-Rand SS5L5 Air Compressor?
The safety/relief valve on your Ingersoll-Rand Air Compressor might "pop" due to a clogged or dirty inlet and/or discharge line filter; clean or replace it. Another cause may be leaky, broken, carbonized, or loose compressor valves; inspect, clean, or replace them as required, and consider installing a valve kit.
