The reed valve assembly of the present invention includes a reed cage, a retainer, and reed petals. The retainer is independently interlockable with the reed cage. As defined herein, independently interlockable is understood to mean that no additional parts are required to connect the retainer to the reed cage. As implied by the term interlockable, the retainer and reed cage are separable. The reed petals are removably secured to the reed cage. In one embodiment, the reed petals are secured to the reed cage with the retainer.
