Connection to an ARB Air Compressor

(Fig.15.)

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

tank.

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

the port and tighten.

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

onto the nipple and tighten. 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.

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