ARB Air compressor
Does anyone know if I can put a tee in this set up and run to air tank or just put an air fitting right on the compressor. Will it handle this? Will the air lockers work both on the same tee?
I don't know why you couldn't The question I would have is how would the compressor turn off and on when the tank is full? Mine has a pressure regulator that shuts off the compressor when the tank is full. May you could run from the Compressor stright to the tank then to the lockers? Would pressure be a problem?

I thought I read somewhere that the ARB lockers work off of 5psi. iIf that is true and the regulator is actually in the compressor I think your out of luck. If it runs higher you might be OK. I'm still not sure it would work because even if it runs off of 25 or 50psi, if the regulator in the compressor will only fill until it gets to that preset level. Making a tank useless with that compressor.
If someone has one, they might have more particulars

I believe they run off of 85lbs. If you get the ARB tire inflation kit, it ties into the middle port and you can use it to fill up a tank. I don't know if I would reccomend this though because you can over heat this compressor pretty easy. I don't think it can run at constant duty for very long.
The arb compressor really should only be used as a locker compressor. They run at approx 90 psi and the duty cycle on the compressor is 33% I beleive.
It is a great solution for lockers but that is about it.
