Question:

What are these valves on top of my compressor?

I have a curtis toledo compressor at my house. While moving it a helper dropped it on its side into the tank and broke off these 2 valves off the very top of the compressor. They had a copper line that ran off both of them and went over to the auto on/off switch, I'm guessing that's what it is. Where can I buy these or at least what are they called?

Answer:

They are the unloader valves. Look online for places that sell parts for air compressors.
The valves are probably one way check valves and the line is called the discharge line. The valves could also be un-loader valves that release the head pressure when the compressor shuts off. For parts just google your compressor brand and model for parts dealers.
