Chip Shield for 1/4 Inlet
The SPEEDAIRE 22YK83 chip shield is a translucent plastic guard designed to fit a 1/4 inch inlet with a 4 inch diameter. It protects compatible air compressor components from debris during operation. This new accessory is intended for maintenance technicians and workshop owners who service the listed manufacturer models.
Replaces Worn Shields on 22YK37 to 22YK40
The shield directly replaces damaged or missing original guards on manufacturer part numbers 22YK37, 22YK38, 22YK39 and 22YK40. Upgrading is worthwhile when the existing shield is cracked, opaque from age or lost during service, restoring proper chip deflection for the inlet. It is not suited for units with different inlet diameters or thread patterns.
Simple Press Fit Installation
Installation requires pressing the shield onto the 1/4 inch inlet of the compatible pump head; no tools or fasteners are needed. The translucent plastic allows visual confirmation of seating and debris buildup. Common issues include forcing the shield onto an incorrect inlet size, which cracks the plastic, or failing to seat it fully, allowing chips to bypass the guard.
