Push to connect 1/8" air line fittings.

Does anyone have a source for these? Can anyone tell me if they are single use only or can they be re-used?

TIA.

They can be reused, just make sure the hose is like new.

Don't know if you have a McMaster-Carr store up there but they have just about any type of air fitting you could want.

Take what you can with you to the nearest big truck dealer: Freightliner, International, KW, Peterbilt, Volvo/Mack etc. and go to the parts department.

they generally run bigger than 1/8

If you have a clean tubing end it will work fine reused

IIRC those lines and fittings look like Lincoln Town Car airbag lines.

If I am right Amazon carries some lines and fittings

Advance Auto and Orileys auto parts used to carry lines and fittings also

Shedding more light on the topic!

When I picked up this trike (2007 Ultra Classic, triked in 2008) last April, it had the suspension completely changed with new coil overs and air bags.

The coil over part # is 99-SU-SH2-6603-0 $995.95 CDN./Pr.

The air bag # is 99-MTRS-0170 $321.90 CDN./Pr.

The bags were fitted with 1/8" air lines attached to the bags with the fittings shown here:

The fitting is 1/8" NPT to 1/8" air line.

The orange line is new stuff bought on Amazon along with 2 new Schrader valves. I've attempted to repair the leaking bags. More on that later! I will water test them tomorrow and if my repair is successful, my plan is to install the Schrader valves directly on the bags and install them on the bike. This is temporary until the AIRBAGIT bags arrive. According to Airbagit, what they call "Air Brake" fittings are leak proof and re useable and they cost 3 times what the push style fittings do! The smallest size they come in is 1/8" NPT to 1/4" Air line. I only want to do this job once so I will be using the 1/4" stuff. Presently, the air charging port is in the back of the trunk, requiring that the trunk be emptied to air up the bags. My plan is to move the charging port to under the tour pack and plumb everything new with the best fittings and 1/4" line.

STACEBG: The bags on axle airide suspension take a larger hose- both on tractor and trailer. But the cab airbags use the smaller hose and smaller airbags depending on application. Steel cabs found on some Peterbilt, KW, Western Star( Freightliner product) over 18,000lb, may have larger bags/ airlines). Ive delivered all of them from the factory to dealerships ( piggybacked 4 at a time) and each job is different.
