Re: Unloader Valve

The AP or FCL part numbers probably won't do you a lot of good with many refurb buses since the original unloader valve was changed to an APSA 2878 or similar. I enquired about 10 years ago for FCL 3257 compressor filters without success and we found out recently that the cloth fuel filters are NLA so I wouldn't hold out much hope of getting the washable FCL 2282.

As ever Dave Tromans is the guy everyone turns to for obsolete air brake equipment.

Thanks, just topped it up- it still had some

My bus number (if any): RM2133

Re: Unloader Valve

Do we have dimensions for FCL2282 and 3257? Baldwin was able to match a filter for my Iveco Air Canister from sizes given to me by FCL, unfortunately they could not provide dimensions cor the compressor and unloader valve filters.

I can get the compressor filter from someone but shipping (carriage) costs make it difficult.

If someone has dimensions for these filters please send them to me- yes I can measure myself but I am always looking to save time :)
