Stellar Industries 11897 HV60 Valve Plate Assembly for 70P Compressor

If you’re unsure whether this part is compatible with your truck or equipment, please contact us to confirm fitment before purchasing.

The Stellar Industries 11897 Valve Plate Assembly is an OEM replacement component for compatible Stellar and American Eagle 70P single-stage piston air compressors equipped with an HV60 compressor pump.

The valve plate controls intake and discharge airflow within the compressor head. Replacing a worn or damaged assembly helps restore compression, improve air output, and prevent pressure from flowing backward between compression cycles.

What This Part Is Used For

The Stellar 11897 valve plate assembly regulates airflow entering and leaving the HV60 compressor pump. Its internal valve components open and close with each piston stroke, allowing the compressor to draw in air and deliver compressed air to the receiver tank.

Common Reasons For Replacement

Compressor builds pressure slowly
Compressor cannot reach maximum pressure
Reduced air volume or output
Air flows backward through the intake
Compressor head operates excessively hot
Internal reed valves are cracked or damaged
Valve plate is warped, scored, or corroded
Unusual tapping or fluttering from the compressor head
