The Conrader TCP is a cable-style throttle control for gas-engine-driven air compressors rated 8 HP and below. Mounted on the pilot valve or elsewhere on the compressor, it uses tank pressure to actuate a stainless-steel cable connected to the engine throttle arm — automatically throttling the engine back to idle when the tank reaches cut-out pressure and returning it to full speed on demand. The standard Z-bend cable end latches directly into a standard carburetor throttle lever.
Built with a brass body, Viton seals, a stainless-steel spring, and a permanently lubricated, self-cleaning stainless-steel cable for long, reliable service in the field.

Applications
Ideal for gas-powered portable and contractor air compressors where the engine must idle down automatically once the tank is charged — reducing fuel use, noise, and engine wear. Routing clamps (sold separately) are used to mount and protect the cable run.
Choose the cable length that matches the distance between your pilot valve mounting point and the engine throttle arm. The Conrader TCP throttle control delivers dependable, hands-free engine speed regulation for small gas-engine air compressor systems.
