It measures 24 inches long by 16 inches wide by 5 inches deep, which tells you exactly what it covers: the drive belt and pulley assembly on these mid-range reciprocating compressors. If the original guard has cracked, been lost during a teardown, or is simply missing on a used machine you picked up, this is the correct replacement. Do not run a belt-drive compressor without a guard — OSHA requires it, your insurance expects it, and an exposed belt is a real injury hazard in any busy shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eManufacturer page data was not available at the time of this listing.

The Castair 2BG mounts to the existing guard attachment points on the A2\/A3\/A4\/A8 frame without drilling or fabricating new brackets. If cost is the concern, weigh the price of the OEM guard against the time it would take to fabricate or adapt a generic one — and against the risk of a guard that vibrates loose because it does not sit flush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Castair 2BG beltguard (24\" x 16\" x 5\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting hardware may or may not be included — confirm when ordering or have M6\/M8 hardware on hand for installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2BG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24\" L x 16\" W x 5\" D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Castair A2, A3, A4, A8 compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComponent Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Safety guard \/ belt drive cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e $106.26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From OEM Diagnostic Tools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecialist since 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e in air compressor components and industrial equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e on qualifying orders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree tech support at 866-217-0063\u003c\/strong\u003e — call before ordering to confirm the 2BG fits your specific compressor configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull manufacturer warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e on all Cast Air parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHonest guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e We stock the full Castair parts line and can tell you whether this is the right guard for your machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCall 866-217-0063 for quick answers and help!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cast Air","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53342504681685,"sku":"2BG","price":195.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/8466\/0949\/files\/CastairBeltGuard_246a8563-753a-4bd5-a46c-c16391be66fb.jpg?v=1772652482","url":"https:\/\/aircompressorfactorydirect.com\/products\/castair-beltguard-for-a2-a3-a4-a8-compressors-24x16x5","provider":"Air Compressor Factory Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
