Advice on ARB Dual Compressor

[MeFryRice]

Hello everyone,

I’m seeking your input to see if I’m over thinking my situation and making it more difficult for myself.

I installed the ARB dual compressor behind the rear seat. There is a T-fitting to allow a hose to run to the couplers mounted on each side of the rear seat.



The issue I’m having is the plastic hose keeps popping out of the T-fitting. I make sure the hose is inserted far enough to where you can hear it click but it will only stay in place for a few seconds. Wife hates having to hold the hose in the t-fitting because it gets pretty damn hot. She‘ll kill me if I ask her to hold the hose the next time I use it.

I ordered the reinforced hose along with the JIC 4 Adapter T thinking this would be an easy solution.



Unfortunately, the T adapter doesn’t fit in the compressor because the outlet is an NPT fitting. Looking online, I have not been able to source a Male NPT to female JIC 4 adapter for this adapter Tee to screw into.

This is where my head is at…

1) figure out a solution to keep utilizing the plastic hoses. Any suggestions?
2) continue my hunt for for a Male NPT to Female JIC 4 adapter.
3) source a male 1/4 NPT adapter Tee with two female JIC 4 outlets.

Option 1 sounds like the easiest?

TIA.

Steve

Not 100% sure what your looking for but thinking you are looking for something like…


OR


But in any case… if you haven’t already… go looking on the McMaster-Carr App or website. Not cheap but high quality and you’ll find everything. I bought a number of unique items for my dual compressor install and pneumatic bait cannon project. Very handy to figure out exactly what you need even if you go elsewhere to buy it.

Man, that first one is spot on. Thank you very much!

Finding the right sizes for the perfect fit is often the challenge. The 2nd item may also work to get you off the compressors to a different adapter/splitter. It can be done with more or less creativity, lol. Good luck.

What mounting bracket did you use to mount the compressor?

Raptor Alliance but I don’t believe they are offering them any longer.

Were you able to find/order what you needed?

I think I found it but I’m going to call them tomorrow to confirm the sizing. I appreciate your help.
