Air Fittings
Push-in ttings are used to connect air hoses
between pneumatically operated items. Fittings,
sizes and types vary for different applications.
Threaded ttings adapt
the push-in ttings to
connect pneumatically
operated items. 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 tting.
Push release ring down against locking
ring portion of the tting body.
While holding the release ring down,
pull hose away from tting.

To Connect Hose:
Push hose into tting through the release
ring and the O-ring. Use a slight twisting
motion to seat rmly against the internal
tube stop.
Pull hose away from tting to expand
and set inner seal. Ensure hose is
properly retained in tting.
NOTE:
When putting air hose back into fitting,
be sure that hose is cut as squarely as
possible to 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 is located in the
generator compartment. The universal female
tting will accept several types of ¼" ID male
air ttings, including type C automotive. The
auxiliary air tting may be used to inate tires,
air mattresses or other pneumatic items. This
tting is not designed to charge the air system
on the motorhome. The air supply for the
auxiliary air 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 rm grip,
insert the air tting
into auxiliary air
supply. The locking
collar is spring
loaded and will
automatically lock
when the tting is
properly inserted.
