solution for air line breaking on rear air locker??
Has anyone else had this prob? the blue air line keeps splitting just b4 it goes into the diff on my rear locker - have repaired it 5 times this will be number 6 - the air line's getting shorter each time lol... any ideas?? its a GQ diff if it makes a difference
no chance it will seal.-Scott- wrote:100psi? I'd be surprised. It would be good to know if it works.matto wrote:i have a split in my line i'm going to try a few layers of heat shrink and see if that works
you would need to put it on and shrink it over wet silicon or epoxy or something, to actually seal the pressure.
*there's a rock, drive over it :) there's a bigger rock, drive over it :twisted: there's an even bigger rock, oops broke it :oops: Upgrade broken bit :bad-words:

sadley most trucks don't use 5mm hose they use 4mm or 6mm , probably be a good idea to change the line and fittings to something thats not arb specific . in saying that arb sell the joiners for $12 .pongo wrote:all trucks use air lines these days, so joiners and replacment hose can be bought cheaply all over aust at any truck place. Even a few truckies carry joiners just in case. a quick cruise around a truck stop will usually get you a joiner.

If your still running the rear swaybar it could be fouling on where the air locker line is, it's possible the lockers fitting was installed in a poor position and the line is getting damaged by the swaybar under suspension operation.

100 psi is pretty low pressure, there's not a lot of force involved. a few layers will work.-Scott- wrote:100psi? I'd be surprised. It would be good to know if it works.matto wrote:i have a split in my line i'm going to try a few layers of heat shrink and see if that works
we have some awesome heat shrink at work, it comes pre loaded with an internal layer of hot melt glue, but I don't know if it is available to people outside the electricity industry.
Free air locker to the first 20 callers!
Get the equivalent size air tube in polyurethane tube not the usual hard plastic used by ARB (and most places).
Poly is much more flexible and less susceptible to breaking due to the suspensions movement.
You can get the tube from any good pneumatics supplier, look up Festo or Norgren for their nearest agent, take a sample of tube in ask for the same tube in polyurethane and that should solve the problem.
Cheers

Take the centre brass support tube out of the air line olive/fitting at the diff and run it without , you will have no more problems.

change to 6mm
ive changed from 5mm plastic to 6mm copper lines all the way back to a mount on the crossmeber,
then run hyd 6mm to rear housing with extra lenght 200mm spring to keep it up .
then if some thing hits it the spring might brake but not the line i have never broken it yet in that time broke two brake hoses so it worked really well

Not stating the obvious here, but where your line goes into the fitting, do you have the protective spring that goes over the fitting and the first inch or two of the air line?
