Time To Replace a 1/4″ Line
-
That is what I got for about $95+$7 for shipping.

I keep putting it off, but I should build a set of fittings. I replaced all the push in when I changed out my air bags and brake chambers, so except for those at the Norgrens and all the house fittings I am starting to get all compression.
I am sure each converter had their devices with air fittings so instead of buying a kit it might be better to see what fittings are used and lay in an inventory of them, plus buy a box or tray with dividers to keep them sorted out.
No matter who converted the coach it is a given that there are going to be hundreds of fittings that will need to be replaced with compression over time.

What does this 1/4″ line go to? What does it operate?
Dick, the 1/4″ line that busted runs from a valve near the floor of the steer compartment to my air ride seat. That is why I was able to squeeze it with vice grips and drive 140 miles to my destination. I did find out how much I appreciate the air ride seat.

The air line replacement was interrupted by life, but i finished it up before traveling today. I ran the new line and all the connections are good. One thing I did not do was include an in line shut off valve. No one had one.
The kit of fittings Threegreens posted looks like a good deal now that I have purchased a few fittings. I purchased 5 brass 1/4″ brake nuts, 5 brass sleeves (Is that the correct name?) and five brass unions. Grand total? $44.
Thanks for the help.
