Connection to an ARB Air Compressor

(Fig.17.)

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 that 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 tighten.
