Compressor Regulator Problem.

[wm460]

The plastic cover/ guard fell off my air compressor, when I tried to put it back on the plastic ring broke.
Are the plastic ring replaceable? What holds the guard on?
It is just a generic 2.5 hp compressor.

That looks like a water filter not a regulator.

You can pick me up online or at a hardware store, Harbor Freight, etc. you run without one if needed, though you may get some moisture in the compress d air.

They are typical items you can find them at all price levels.
One example here https://www.amazon.com/Compressor-Water-Trap/s?k=Compressor+Water+Trap
some even incorporate a pressure regulator https://www.amazon.com/BLCH-NPT-Air...11-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&psc=1
