Re: Where do you order your air ride fittings?

You can get all of your fittings from Parker:

KIT DIVISION
14690 NE 95TH ST SUITE 104
REDMOND
WA
United States
98052
Ph: (425) 284-2925

They aren't the cheapest fittings, but the quality of them is second to none.

For valves, I went w/the Air Ride manifold valve setup. Very clean and compact, but again, not the cheapest. Ordered mine through Nate (Porterbuilt).

Take a look in your local yellow pages for a repair and parts supplier for over-the-road trucks (semi - dump - etc).

They will have a lot of thet DOT fittings you are looking for.

Re: Where do you order your air ride fittings?

keep in mind, a lot of the Push to Connect fittings sold today are NOT D.O.T. approved fittings and are not rated at the higher pressures most air systems run.

Hmmm, 150psi would be the max they would see. If for some reason the got that high.. Rear takes 40psi, fronts take just under 100..... Wouldnt that valve see more pressure if your hitting a bump??? Would that increase the pressure on that push fitting?? I dont know how the air dynamics work on that.

Re: Where do you order your air ride fittings?

Also check out your local Fastenal store. They usually have the cheaper PTC fittings in the store,... but they can also get the D.O.T. approved fittings.

Guage magazines customer service is awesome, but they pretty much drop ship everything. So you place one order and have 4 different packages arrive from 4 different vendors. That kinda sucks. I think next time im going to stay with Suicide doors.

Re: Where do you order your air ride fittings?

hoseandfittings.com and fittingsandadapters.com both have the parts for airsuspensions. You will need to know what you want they are not automotive supply houses but you can't get better pricing anywhere.
