Accumulator schrader valve

[ParkerFly]

I've got an accumulator that has bad threads on the schrader valve that's used to charge it with nitrogen. I attached a picture of it and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find one of them? Thanks.

Pictures won稚 open for me but if this is a bladder style accumulator you will have to replace the bladder.

Otherwise your best option could be contact the accumulator manufacturer. There are more than one style of Schrader valves used on accumulators

It’s hard to tell for sure from the photo but, you may be able to chase those threads. Especially if you are having a hard time finding a new one.

If U are sure the accumulator and valve is good then possibly seating with an epoxy compound would save the day.
However that valve is replaceable but not everyone stocks them.
I will bet any aviation supply house will have them on hand as they ate commonly used around aircraft. (google sporty aviation)
A/C landing struts use them!

They are used in refrigerant system also. NAPA will probably have something.

Don't use something that "looks the part" from refrig or other systems that aren't rated to whatever your maximum working hydraulic pressure is.

If you don't know the brand I'd start with a Parker dealer
