Air Fittings
Push-in fi ttings, used
to connect air hoses
between pneumatically
operated items, are
designed for quick
and easy maintenance
and repair. Sizes and types of fi ttings vary for
different applications. Threaded fi ttings adapt
the push-in fi ttings to connect pneumatically
operated items. Main parts include the release
ring, locking ring, solid brass body and special
rubber compound O-ring. Damaged hoses can
be repaired by splicing.
To Disconnect Hose:
Push hose into fi tting.
Push release ring down against locking
ring portion of the fi tting body.
While holding the release ring down,
pull hose away from fi tting.
To Connect Hose:
Push hose into fi tting through the release
ring and the O-ring. Use a slight twisting
motion to seat fi rmly against the internal
tube stop.
Pull hose away from fi tting to expand
and set inner seal. Ensure hose is
properly retained in fi tting.
NOTE:
When putting air hose back into fitting,
be sure that hose is cut as squarely as
possible so that the hose will evenly seal
in the fitting. The cavity of the positive
tubing stop provides support to prevent
leakage.

WARNING:
DO NOT remove air hoses from fittings
while system is pressurized. Serious
injury may occur.
WARNING:
Never place yourself under motorhome
without first properly blocking frame
(jackstands) from coming down in case
of rapid deflation of air system.
Air Coupler - Universal
A remote air supply coupler, provided for
convenience, is located in the front electrical
bay. The universal female fi tting will accept
several types of ¼" ID male air fi ttings,
including type C automotive. The auxiliary
air fi tting may be used to infl ate tires, air
mattresses or other pneumatic items. This fi tting
is not designed to charge the air system on the
motorhome. The air supply for the auxiliary air
fi tting is charged from the front air tank through
a pressure protection valve.
To Use the Universal Air Coupler:
Remove the plastic protective dust cap.
Using a fi rm grip, insert the air fi tting
into auxiliary air supply. The locking
collar is spring loaded and will
automatically lock when the fi tting is
properly inserted.
To remove fi tting:
Firmly grip the air hose near the fi tting
to prevent recoil.
Slide the locking collar back to release
fi tting. The collar will lock into the open
position when fully retracted.
Replace the protective
dust cap when
fi nished.
