EAS valve block
« on: May 07, 2009, 12:55:07 »
Does anyone know where I can get replacements for the collets that hold the air lines into the valve block from? I've recently picked up a 2nd hand valve block and there are some missing.

Cheers

Chris

IIRC they are standard BSP fittings, if you are short then some of the fitting form old airbags might also do.  I'll have a look what I'd got when I have time.

They're supposed to be push fittings into the valve block, but the guy I got this one from has pulled them, and some have popped out and are missing.

You pop them out to change the O Rings behind as part of a block rebuild.
Normally you don't throw them away but as RRB says the other end of the pipe is the same so an old air spring should provide a replacement.

Ah, now I think I understand, the pipe fitting themselves are broken.  I'll have a look and see if they are replaceable with the ones form air springs etc.
