When the unloading valve operates correctly, it reduces motor start-up load, prevents pressure build-up during idle cycles, and extends the overall lifespan of your compressor unit. Replacing a worn or faulty intake valve with the AIV-40 helps restore consistent airflow regulation and energy-efficient operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAIV-40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntake Control \/ Unloading Valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 – 15 bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Mainland China\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Products You May Need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/0-60mpa-pressure-gauge-s60h-diesel-injector-nozzle-tester-8000psi\"\u003e0-60MPa Pressure Gauge for Injector Nozzle Tester\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/1-channel-relay-module-dc-3-3v-24v-optocoupler-arduino\"\u003e1-Channel Relay Module DC 3.3V–24V for Automation Control\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor guidance on compressed air system safety and best practices, visit the OSHA Compressed Air Safety Resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eValve\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What does the AIV-40 air intake control valve do in an air compressor?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The AIV-40 is a combination intake control and unloading valve.
