Milwaukee Foot Service Kit
Model Number: 42-38-0019
The Milwaukee 42-38-0019 is a genuine OEM Foot Service Kit for the 2840-20 M18 FUEL 2-Gallon Compact Quiet Compressor. Please read carefully before ordering: Milwaukee sells this part as a Set of 1, meaning one foot per kit, and the 2840-20 uses four feet. If you are replacing the complete set on your compressor, order a quantity of four. The feet are the molded vibration-isolating mounts that sit between the compressor frame and the work surface, and they do considerably more work than their size suggests. On a reciprocating compressor the pump motor generates continuous vibration every cycle, and the feet are what absorb that energy instead of transmitting it into the floor, the truck bed, or the jobsite bench the unit is sitting on. They also provide the friction that keeps the compressor from walking across a smooth surface while it builds pressure, and they set the standoff height that keeps the tank and drain valve clear of standing water. Feet degrade from compression set over years of cycling, from oil and solvent exposure, and from tearing at the fastener bosses when the unit is dragged rather than lifted. A compressor with a torn, missing, or hardened foot will sit unevenly, vibrate noticeably louder, and creep during operation, and the uneven loading puts stress on the frame and tank welds.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. The 42-38-0019 Foot Service Kit is documented at Figure 50 on bulletin 54-05-2840 for the 2840-20 with serial numbers L28A and B. Milwaukee documents the kit as containing the Foot at Figure 33 along with the M4 x 12mm Pan Hd. Taptite T-20 mounting screw at Figure 34, so you are not required to source hardware separately, though a T-20 driver is needed for installation. If your complaint is excessive vibration or noise rather than a physically damaged foot, check the motor mount bushings before assuming the feet are at fault. Those are documented at Figure 27 and are serviced through the separate 44-66-0126 Motor Mount Service Kit at Figure 58, which is also sold as a Set of 1. Replacing all four feet at the same time is strongly recommended even when only one has failed, since mixing a new foot with three compressed and hardened originals leaves the compressor sitting out of level and concentrates load on the new mount.
