ARB pressure

[oldwineo]

Can anyone tell me the specs for an ARB air locker?

I have heard 30 psi and 110 psi.

I want to use an aftermarket compressor and a small air tank and I need to know if I should install a regulator.

Anyone running a similar setup? How did you plumb it? ARB solenoid or aftermarket?


Thanks for any help.

IIRC from the ARB manual 100 PSI activation and at least 90PSI to keep it engaged.

its a lot
I tried to activate mine by using a hand-held bicycle pump, I couldn't make it happen. Not sure if the bike pump couldn't hold the pressure, if the fittings were bad, or what...

you can buy inexpensive on/off pressure switches at a wide variety of on/off numbers. I think mine is on at 90 off at 110 or something like that. Works fine. If I were starting from scratch, I might do a regulator for 95 psi, attached to a small tank w/ a on at 100 off at 125 switch.

Yea, I like that thought. Then I could tap in to the tank at the higher pressure for air tools or tire inflation, and regulate the ARB to a safer pressure so as not to blow out the seals.

Maybe I should add a moisture seperator at the same time.

if you tap everything at the top of the tank, the tank itself is going to drop out a lot of the moisture.
