air locker plumbing

Post by guzzla »

first up ive gone through the bible and done a search......... but for the life of me i cant find a diagram showing how to run the plumbing from my endlessair to a tank then onto lockers with the provision of running a tyre inflator or air tools.

thanks in advance.

Run from endless to a tank then tap the 2 solinods for the locks into the side of the tank.

There are other ways to mount the solinods but that is the easiest to explain.

endless air

Post by rockcrawler31 »

sorry i won't be able to send a diagram mate but i have just plumbed an air tank off an electric compressor. the line from the compressor should go to a non return valve on the tank so that the compressor doesn't start under load (same for endless air). the tank has several outlets on it on a manifold afterthat.

1. pressure sensor line. This is goes to a pressure cut in/out switch if you want constant or automatic operation. if you run this your non return valve should have an unloader spigot on it and this will also run a line to the pressure switch

2. a line going to a regulator then to your locker solenoids then to lockers

3. a line going to your air accessories jack some where on the outside of your car.

Tips.

1. i got a cut in/out switch from a normal 240 volt compressor. the advantage of this is that it will control the electrics on your compressor clutch if you want. it has provisions for the unloader valve, and several manifold outlets for lockers etc. You simply take the wire for your clutch and split it to go on the dual poles normally used for AC then same on the other side of the switch. This can then go to a switch in the dash for manual control/override.

2. try and get a tank with a water bleed valve

3. Run copper line off the back of the endless air for about a metre or so as this will help dissipate heat
