2200 020 650 Compressor Valve Plate for Caterpillar Engines

What does a compressor valve plate do?

A compressor valve plate is a critical component within the air brake compressor assembly that regulates the flow and direction of compressed air. This component ensures that the pneumatic system maintains consistent pressure required for heavy commercial vehicle braking systems. Built with high-strength components, it is engineered to withstand the rigorous thermal and mechanical stresses encountered during continuous operation.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This valve plate is compatible with Caterpillar engines including C7, C9, C11, C13, C15, and C18. It is widely used in various heavy commercial vehicle models such as Freightliner (Cascadia, Columbia, Century Class), Kenworth (W900, T800, T660), Peterbilt (379, 389), International (9400I, 9900I), and Sterling trucks. It also serves applications in Western Star and Mack Titan units.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When performing maintenance or repairs on the air brake compressor, technicians should verify the port layout and plate thickness against the original part. Ensuring the correct fitment is essential for maintaining proper air discharge and preventing leaks within the pneumatic circuit. For precise installation, always follow the service manual provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

Selection and troubleshooting

Consult your authorized distributor to ensure exact compatibility with your specific engine and compressor configuration.
