Frequently asked questions

What can cause an air valve or valve block to stick?

Valves and valve blocks can stick due to contamination such as thread tape fragments, rust particles from non-aluminium tanks, moisture, or degraded seals. Using liquid thread sealant, draining the tank regularly and filtering the air supply all help prevent sticking issues.

How should valves be mounted in an air suspension system?

Mount valves or valve blocks where they are protected from water, road debris and direct exhaust heat. Ensure they are accessible for service and that airlines are routed with smooth bends, avoiding kinks or rubbing points.

What is the purpose of the 3/8NPT Check Valve?

The 3/8NPT Check Valve is designed to prevent backflow in air suspension systems. It ensures that air only flows in one direction, maintaining the pressure in your airbags and preventing any loss of air when the system is not in use.

What are the thread specifications for this check valve?

This check valve features a 3/8NPT male thread on one end and a 9/16UNF flare fitting on the other. This makes it compatible with various air suspension systems and allows for easy integration into your setup.

Can this check valve be used in tandem with other valves?

Yes, the 3/8NPT Check Valve can be used in conjunction with other valves in your air suspension system. It is commonly used to isolate air supply lines, ensuring that air pressure is maintained in specific airbags without interference from other components.

What is the maximum pressure rating for this check valve?

The 3/8NPT Check Valve is designed to handle pressures typical in air suspension systems. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the exact pressure rating, but it is built to withstand standard operating pressures without failure.

How does this check valve differ from other types of valves?

This check valve is specifically designed for air suspension applications, providing a reliable one-way flow mechanism. Unlike manual valves, which require user intervention, this check valve operates automatically, ensuring consistent air pressure without the need for constant monitoring.

Is installation of the 3/8NPT Check Valve straightforward?

Yes, installation is straightforward. Simply thread the 3/8NPT end into your air supply line and connect the 9/16UNF flare fitting to your desired component. Ensure that all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
