Split Loom Tubing Protection Installation
• Place one of the supplied split loom tubing protection sleeves over the air line tubing of each
spindle end to help protect against sharp edges inside the axle. Repeat steps 1-4 on remaining
axle wheel ends.
• The air line from the spindle end going to the fitting on the axle fitting can now be cut. Make sure
to cut the tubing long enough to reach just past the center of the axle. The air line will be attached
to a tee fitting and then tie-wrapped to the center axle vent line. See Figure 13
Center Vent Line Installation
• Install the push lock fitting (1/4” NPT x 3/8” tubing) into the center tapped hole and tighten. Insert
the supplied 37” X 3/8” nylon tubing with the duck-bill into the fitting. The vent line should be
oriented so the duck bill is pointing up and tie-wrap it to frame or hoses of trailer where it’s not
going to be part of any moving component. If this option is not possible the vent line can be
routed around the axle. Make sure the tubing goes around the axle 1-2 times.
• Tie wrap and secure the end of the air line with the duck bill to the air line coming out of the axle.
Make sure the duck bill vent is facing in a up and there aren’t any big loops of air line hanging
down under the axle to grab on anything as trailer is moving. Repeat this step on all axles where
Aeris is being installed.
