| Hi all. If you have a minute to spare, I am needing to put together an air brake system basically from scratch. I have a pair of axles with air "wedge" brakes and a sprayer with an air compressor that should keep up...............thats it, the rest I need to put together and purchase. I dont know enough about the details of these systems to feel confident about putting it together without some help.
The axles are a drive type with air wedge brakes on each axle and spring cans on one axle.
The rig they will go on is a Rears sprayer that has an air compressor. It is a stand alone type compressor with a sling type lube system, but it is a cast iron, continuous duty type. Everything behind the compressor will be scrapped as it is lighter duty and rusting with age and exposure. The compressor can fill the 3 gallon tank and plumbing in about 15 seconds. Which is faster than most trucks I've been in. The brakes of course are the priority, but I may use either a hybred leaf spring/air bag, or a fully air suspension system. A solution purge will be installed, but that is a system on its own that will only operate when standing still. And the transfer case is air engauge.
I will not be pulling any trailers with air, so I dont need that hook up. I do however want brake lights etc.
So I need a minimum of one lever type air actuator valve, and a spring brake release valve. I'd like a treadle valve that mounts in the floor like the older trucks as that is the way the throttle pedal is mounted. Can I get a treadle valve with the pedal attached?
Any help putting this system together and plumbing diagrams would be apreciated.
Thanks. | |
