ARB Locker Stainless Steel Air Line Installation Write-Up

[JudeinPa]

I am getting ready to install a new front axle and want to go with braided s/s lines. How much slack do you leave in the line for axle droop? I also have an under the passenger seat mounted air compressor and plan on running the line through the drain plug. Hoping that works.

You'll want to make sure you run the line with your axle at full droop. Make sure to secure it to the driver side upper control arm.

Thank you for your help. I would have never thought of attaching the line to the upper control arm!

I lost the fittings that came with my Stainless line. I called ARB to try and figure out what size I needed, and I was told, "ARB Air Line Adapter Fitting 1/8 BSP (M) JIC-04 (M) - 2Pack ARB0740105".

In the hopes of helping someone else, this is what I found. The solenoid and bulkhead fitting are both 1/8 BSP and the fittings on the SS line are 3AN. I noticed it was not holding pressure, so I did a soap test; that's when I remembered that the original fittings included a washer; it's called a "Dowly Sealing Washer."

The only place I could find the 1/8 BSP male to 3AN male adapter fittings was at PegasusAutoRacing.com. I wish I had found them before cobbling together a 12' line and a 3' line to reach the rear axle. They could have made a custom-length hose cheaper than the two individual hoses.
