Thread: Burst Air Line Repair.

Looks at all that mud Dan, where have you been playing! Looks like mine did.

Anyway hopefully someone has the answer for you. Think i have the connectors but it came with my GOE air up kit... Not sure where people sourced just the one...

Not entirely sure what it connects, but the air tank was completely empty when i removed it (i hadn't emptied air the system). The wheel in the pic is the front left.

I was thinking of buying a connector and just cut out the damaged part and install the connector. Not being clever in the area of pneumatics, i was wondering if people had any other recommendations. Or if people could recomment a suitable connector thats up to the high lressure task? (I believe its 6mm OD pipe but i only have a tape measure)?

Cheers

Find a 'smart' EnZed guy, or similar. I once (! V8ian, what do you say, want to do a count? ) ? blew a suzi line between trailers. Ten minutes saw it fixed. I don't know the right way to spell it, but a suzi line connects the air lines between trailers on semis, B-Doubles and road trains, so you want it to work, as it controls the brakes. Air lines are important, but they ain't rocket science.

Yes can be repaired with a 6mm connector Dan. A few suggestions in this thread a couple of years ago.
Air suspension damaged

Get a couple of foot worth of pipe and some connectors so you've got some spare pipe as well for any further problems down the track. Gordon's of course sells a kit for this sort of stuff too, but I think that's more airbag oriented (?).

I have Gordon's kit and it includes spare pipe and connectors as well as the air bag emergency inflation parts. Both the pipe & connectors are rated to a higher pressure/temperature than what is commonly available but I'm sure you could source yourself too with a bit of research.

sorry, didnt take the D4 weight into consideration,,

if you go to brass,, I'd recommend using the proper sealing compound as well,,
