Connection to an ARB Air Compressor

(Fig.15.)

Remove one of the 1/8” BSP plugs from its port in the compressor

tank.

Apply Teflon paste to the nipple (1/8” X 1/8” BSP) and insert it into

the port and tighten.

Apply Teflon paste to the free end of the nipple.
Assemble the inlet port side of the solenoid (stamped with a ‘1’) onto

the nipple and hand tighten it. The solenoid should be rotated into a
position which does not obstruct any other ports on the compressor
tank.

NOTE : The solenoid exhausts compressed air through the

center of the black retaining cap when the Air Locker is
disengaged. Make sure this orifice cannot be
obstructed.

Apply Teflon paste to the threads of the 5mm push-in fitting and

assemble it into the solenoid outlet port (stamped “2”) and hand
tighten.
