All you contractors
 
I have an Amton RP 15 whole house pressurizer that needs a new pressure gauge and pressure switch. Any idea where I can get one? I can find complete units but not parts??

Mr.Scott 03-18-2012 02:02 PM

I can help you a little. The gauge is a common universal item. All you need to know is the range on the gauge and the thread size of the fitting. Any manufacturers gauge that fits your specs will work.
The pressure switch is made by another vendor, not Amtrol. You need to physically look for a tag or part number on it to use as a cross reference. Grainger should stock both these items.

These are common items that can be found at any plumbing distributor

Some of the items such as fittings could also be found at places that make hydraulic hoses since many do more than just that.
We have one here that if it's related to moving air or liquid through a hose, they've got it or can get it.

Really need to pop in one day and score some barbs for my setup......

Grainger is a great place and would probrably have what you need, other places such as MSC or Noland could have this stuff too (Not sure if Noland is a nationwide company) but here they carry most anything you could think of related to stuff like pressure switches - That's where I found the pressure switch for my well pump when no one else seemed to have it.

I got the part number from Amtrol's website - it's 2201-085. And there is a Granger less than 5 miles from here :D The unite does have a high pressure tube from the pump head to the control switch, hopefully it's still a Granger style item

Thanks Bros :thumbsup:

They'll be able to cross ref the number to another brand. Good luck. :)

I found out that this part number is old. I ordered the part through a local dealer of Amtron's. 45 bucks shipped direct to me, while driving to Granger's I would have been able to get it for less. Found one that "looked" similar for 15 bucks, but ??

Now, my car just threw off the belt that drives the power steering, water pump, and generator ... much bigger bucks to worry about here. Just had scheduled service and power steering work done on it at the local BMW so I'm thinking this may be lawsuit time (may have blown the engine :thumbdown: ) waiting on the tow truck now :ohcrap:

Well, no doubt they feel guilty - gave me a 2011 328 as a loaner, and picked up the tab for the towing. Showed me where a pulley "fell off" causing the belt to fail, supposed to be done tomorrow for only a few hundred... keeping my fingers crossed :eek: just in case, got the name and number or the perfect attorney to handle the job :thumbsup: what a PITA

That would be the timing belt, not the serp belt.;)
He's safe in that aspect.

You'll be fine. Keep an eye out for oil leaks, overheats, and crappy performance issues.
Overheating a motor till it won't run DOES do internal damage. They're only fixing the external stuff that they can see. Make sure that it's written on the work order that it was due to a shop error when the car was serviced, otherwise you'll be on the hook for any of that internal damage should something happen down the road. MAKE SURE THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.
