Parts for Briggs & Stratton 020431-0: Pump Parts

The thermal relief valve protects the pump from the potential heat buildup that can occur during recirculation or when in the bypass mode. It opens once temperatures reach 140 degrees and resets automatically when the excess heat is eliminated. Should the machine run too long without releasing water, it can damage the pump. If the pressure washer does not automatically release pressurized air, it is likely a defective or broken thermal relief valve that will need to be replaced to reduce risks of damage to the machine. It is an easy fix that requires little more than an appropriately sized wrench. Slide the rubber cap and remove the valve. Then replace it and tighten it accordingly, completing the repair. This OEM thermal relief valve is for Craftsman and Briggs & Stratton pressure washers. This part ships individually and is made of durable materials.

This is a kit of replacement pressure washer check valves that can be used on a range of models of pressure washers. The check valves will allow water to flow through the pump and manifold in order to properly pressurize it at the nozzle. The check valves in the pressure washer can start to wear down or break over time. The plastic parts could wear out or crack and need to be replaced. If the valves are not working properly, it will mean that the pump will not be capable of building pressure. This will render the machine useless until it is replaced. This kit provides genuine OEM replacement pressure washer check valves. The kit comes with six check valves. They can be used by many models of pressure washers from Craftsman, Briggs & Stratton, and Troy-Bilt. It is essential for buyers to ensure they are choosing the correct valves for their make and model.

The pressure washer outlet tube is part of a pressure washer that acts as a connector between the pressure washer hose and the pressure washer pump. It is an aluminum component that ensures water can pass between sections of the pressure washer during use. This OEM part helps create the proper water pressure to clean house siding, decks, sidewalks, driveways, and more. This product is most commonly needed to repair a leaky pressure washer that doesn’t offer the water pressure desired. The outlet tube also may be needed if running the pressure washer results in water coming out of the tube or the areas where it connects. This part can experience wear and tear over time, so checking whether it is in good condition will also give information on whether a replacement is required. This is a genuine OEM component that is designed for Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Briggs & Stratton, and Snapper pressure washers. It is sold individually and comes with both the outlet tube and the O-ring that should be attached to it. Installing the pressure washer outlet tube may require pump lubricant, which can be bought separately.
