5140112-24 Air Compressor Pressure Switch for Craftsman - Adjustable

In this review the 5140112-24 pressure switch is examined for homeowners and pros who need a direct replacement for Craftsman air compressors. The bottom line: this unit is for anyone who wants an easily adjustable, sturdy pressure switch that fits a range of Craftsman model numbers and includes a 200 psi pressure gauge, making system monitoring simpler. Our review finds it particularly useful when the original switch fails or when a matching part is required to restore compressor operation without modifying the tank or plumbing.

Key Features

• Direct replacement compatibility: Designed to replace factory switches on multiple Craftsman models so users can restore compressor function without extensive adjustments.
• Adjustable pressure range: Pressure setting can be changed from 145 to 175 PSI, allowing tuning for common shop and garage needs.
• Included 200 psi gauge: The built-in 200 psi pressure gauge gives a clear, local readout to verify cut-in and cut-out points.
• 14 FNPT thread: The 1/4 FNPT connection matches standard compressor fittings for straightforward installation.
• Wide model support: Compatible with a list of part numbers and the CPFC2TV3525VP Type 1 & 2 models, reducing compatibility guesswork.
• Robust mechanical design: The switch's form factor and components are consistent with replacement needs on workshop compressors, providing a like-for-like fit.

Who It's For

This pressure switch is best for DIY mechanics, small shop owners, and homeowners who already own Craftsman compressors or compatible models and need a like-for-like replacement. It suits people who want a simple mechanical solution with an adjustable cut-in/cut-out range and a built-in pressure gauge to confirm settings at the compressor.

It is less appropriate for users who require electronic pressure controls, remote monitoring, or exotic pressure ranges outside 145-175 PSI. If a compressor needs a different mounting style or electrical interface than the standard Craftsman switch, a custom or manufacturer-specific control may be a better choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct fit for many Craftsman part numbers, minimizing installation hassle.
