Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the compressor mounting style, pulley layout, and hose connection arrangement on the vehicle. This unit is an ear mount, 12V Sanden SD7H15 compressor with a 6 groove pulley and vertical pad fitting type, so the physical match needs to line up with the existing installation.

Check the part number CXS7986 and original equipment number 7986 against the compressor being replaced. Those identifiers are the safest way to confirm you are matching the same application rather than relying on appearance alone, particularly when the system has been repaired previously.

Weight is listed at 8kg and the clutch diameter is 119mm. Those figures can help with part identification at the counter and give a useful cross-check when comparing the replacement unit to the removed compressor or existing brackets and drive setup.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number CXS7986 helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime.
