Speedaire Air Compressors


On this page about Speedaire air compressors is a comment / forum section where you can tell others about your Speedaire compressor experiences. At the same time, you can read the information that has been posted to help other folks solve their Speedaire compressor issues.

Speedaire is a house brand for Grainger, and they offer a variety of products under that brand, including Speedaire Air Compressors.

Grainger have several manufacturers making Speedaire compressors for them. Some lower end and lower priced units are likely made offshore yet other models are reputedly North American made. I sure would like it is that was the case.

Speedaire Help

Somewhere on your Speedaire air compressor there will be a nameplate, and on that nameplate will be a Grainger stock number, a five digit sequence, similar to this: 8X123.

According to Grainger technical support your stock number will always have a number, a letter, and then three more numbers.

With that compressor Grainger stock number for your air compressor, you can then contact your local Grainger outlet for assistance.

Canadian Speedaire Clients

In Canada, you will need to contact your local Acklands/Grainger outlet:

What now?

When you reach your local Grainger branch, advise them that you are calling about parts for Speedaire compressors, and they will either help you themselves, if the local branch has the skills, or they will often patch you through to the same technical service people I talked to.

If you are seeking help as to how to change a part or fix your Speedaire compressor yourself, they will not help. They can, and will, help you find parts for Speedaire compressors, even some that are decades old, as long as you have the stock number.

Please post your Speedaire question if you have one, or, if you can help someone else with a question, add a comment, please.

Thank you.
