Arnott valves?

[smashingchuck]

I found this on ebay what do you guys think? Looks pretty slick. Any body have any experience with this company, or even hear of them?

and yes, I relize it says 3-5 second rise time. I'm so sick of jarring my head on the roof with my 1/2 valves and line. I want something nice, easy, and classy.

Its got a built in dryer too which you could benefit from. Another thing to look at would be Air Ride Techs Big Red Manifold Valves. Buddy is running them on his s10 and they have a pretty decent rise/fall time. The only downfall i can see is the fact that youre paying 300$ for 4 valves...which means youd be limited to f/b which would more than likely cause insane body roll on such a large truck. It would almost be more reasonable just to buy all new 3/8" valves and 3/8" line and re-plumb the entire system.

You can get 8 new 3/8" valves and 100ft of 3/8" line for 255$ + ship. Or you could get 8 1/4" valves and 1/4" line for 275$ + ship from suicidedoors.com. The 3/8" valves are cheaper because you can buy them in an 8 pack where as the 1/4" valves can only be purchased individually.

read how it works on the ebay link. they have 6 valves and four way control. One dump, one fill, and one for each corner. It's pretty slick. I would never try to run a system with just two way control. I too like the idea of a second drier in my system. I'm already re plumbing the whole system as it is. I have all the air ride ripped off right now because the truck is in the body shop... nothing but schrader valves on the bags right now.

I have 1/2 valves and 3/8 dumps now. I like the idea of a manifold insted of the valves all over the place look. I looked at the big reds but they are $700. That is way over priced. How big are the Big reds? I think that I'm going to run 1/4 line this time around as well... no need for the 1/2".

It says there are 6 solenoids on it. 1 for each bag(dumps), 2 on the drier (intake and exhaust). So you have to open two valves to lift or dump each bag. In order to lift the front right you have to open the intake and the front right solenoids while keeping the exhaust closed. That is just odd, but would work.

I would personally stick with a simpler system.

isn't that the same as the airpod from ART?

it looks slick , but how long will the drier actually last ?

I figure one good muggy Humid ass day will fill that thing up with moisture real quick like..

[smashingchuck]

All of the hydrolic systems at my work work this way. It works just fine.

So nobody is running this brand valves...huh.

looks like a clean design to me. Plus their site shows that they come with a one year warranty. I think joakwin asked some questions about them before. You might pm him with some questions. I say try it and if you dont like em after a few months, or if you have any problems return them.
