Compatible Level III Step Saver Ring & Gasket Kit for Ingersoll Rand Type 30 Model 2545 – Reference 32307084
Product Overview
The Compatible Level III Step Saver Ring & Gasket Kit (Reference 32307084) is a quality aftermarket replacement designed for compatible use with select Ingersoll Rand® Type 30 Model 2545 two-stage reciprocating air compressors.
The piston ring and gasket system plays an important role in maintaining compressor efficiency by helping seal the piston inside the cylinder and maintaining proper compression during operation. Over time, piston rings can wear due to continuous operation, heat, lubrication conditions, and normal mechanical stress. Worn rings may result in increased oil carryover, reduced compression, longer pump-up times, and decreased compressor performance.
This 32307084 compatible ring and gasket kit is designed for compressor repair, rebuilding, and major maintenance applications. It provides the required sealing components to help restore proper compressor operation when servicing compatible 2545 Type 30 compressor pumps.

Component Function
The piston ring and gasket assembly helps maintain proper sealing between the piston and cylinder while preventing excessive leakage during compression cycles.
Piston rings create a controlled seal between the piston and cylinder wall, allowing the compressor to build pressure efficiently. Gaskets provide sealing between mating compressor components during reassembly.
When these components wear, the compressor may experience reduced compression efficiency, increased oil consumption, and difficulty maintaining operating pressure.
Common Symptoms of Ring & Gasket Wear
A worn piston ring and gasket system may contribute to:
- Reduced air delivery
- Longer compressor pump-up time
- Excessive oil carryover into compressed air
- Reduced ability to reach maximum pressure
- Increased crankcase pressure
- Excessive blow-by
- Lower compressor efficiency
- Higher operating temperature
If these symptoms are present, inspection of piston rings, cylinders, and sealing components is recommended.
Common Causes of Ring Wear
Piston rings and sealing components commonly wear due to:
- Normal operating wear
- High operating hours
- Continuous heavy-duty operation
- Insufficient lubrication
- Contaminated intake air
- Excessive operating temperature
- Cylinder wear or scoring
- Improper previous installation
Regular compressor maintenance helps identify wear before major component damage occurs.
When Should This Part Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended when:
- The compressor is undergoing a complete rebuild.
- Oil is detected in the compressed air output.
- The compressor cannot maintain rated pressure.
- Excessive blow-by is observed.
- Piston rings show wear, damage, or loss of tension.
- Cylinder components are being serviced.
Replacing worn rings and gaskets during overhaul can help restore compressor sealing performance and reduce future downtime.
Installation Notes
Installation Difficulty: Advanced
For best results:
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
- Completely relieve air pressure from the receiver tank.
- Drain compressor oil before disassembly.
- Inspect cylinders for scoring or excessive wear.
- Clean all gasket sealing surfaces.
- Verify piston ring installation orientation and position.
- Replace damaged components found during inspection.
- Follow proper assembly procedures during rebuild.
Note: Compressor rebuilding requires proper tools and service knowledge. Always follow the applicable service documentation for your compressor configuration.
Maintenance Tip
When installing a 2545 Level III Step Saver Ring & Gasket Kit, inspect related components including:
- Cylinder condition

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an OEM part?
No. This is a compatible aftermarket replacement designed for proper fit and reliable performance in compatible compressor applications.
Which compressor models does this kit fit?
This ring and gasket kit is designed for compatible use with select Ingersoll Rand® Type 30 Model 2545 compressors, including the variants listed above.
What does a Level III Step Saver Kit do?
A Level III Step Saver Kit provides important rebuild components used during compressor maintenance, including piston ring and sealing components required for restoring compressor pump performance.
What are signs that piston rings need replacement?
Common signs include increased oil carryover, reduced compression, longer pump-up time, and difficulty maintaining pressure.
Can I replace only the rings?
In many overhaul situations, replacing related sealing components together is recommended because worn gaskets and seals may also affect compressor performance.
