ARB portable compressor Hose Coupling

[bacdj Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close bacdj]

I have a portable ARB compressor that I have had for about 7 years and hardly ever used it. I loaned it to a friend yesterday and it appears that a part came out of the hose coupling. Can anyone tell me where I can find a schematic parts diagram of the hose coupling. Photo of coupling attached, I hope! Brian DJ

Is it just the round disc that is missing? If so, you don't really need it for the coupler to function. Just use gloves and pull back on the coupler sleeve to release the hose.

The coupling is 1/8" NPT but the ARB fitting is not a standard NITTO coupling. I replaced all mine with NITTO fittings and hoses.

I don't recall the name of the arb fitting but it is a relatively standard American type, although that means it is not common here. Although now that I think about it I did find some in that hardware shop (B). I'll see what I can find...

Ok, burnings call them "charge air" but I am sure that is not the proper name.

Thanks guys for your comments. I have decided to get a replacement female attachment from ARB at $12 from memory. I believe the original female coupling was a bit of a problem and they now have an improved replacement. Its a bit like spanners, metric, Whitworth, SAE etc. , a real pain in the bum, but there is not much we can do about it now, not to mention driving on different sides of the road and train gauges different in nearly every state.
