INSTALLING BRAIDED STAINLESS STEEL AIR LINES
KEEP THE AIR LINE AWAY FROM THE FUEL LINE, BRAKE LINES AND ELECTRICAL
WIRES.
1. Use zip ties to secure
the air line to fixed points
along the chassis every
6” to 8”. Leave at least 2”
of slack to allow for any
movement that might pull
on the air line.
2. Tighten the air line hex
nut finger tight, then use
2 wrenches to turn 1
additional flat (1/6
of one full turn).
Do
not overtighten
(Figs. 14 or 15). The
easiest way to tighten the
fitting is off the vehicle.
Install the Schrader valve
in the chosen location.
3. Coil and secure any
excess air line in an
area where it will not be
susceptible to damage.
The braided stainless
steel air line cannot be
trimmed.
