ARB line repair?

Post by rtreads »

Where do I get a repair splice for an ARB locker hose?

Or will a fitting from a hardware store work??

Shot in the dark, but I'd call High Country 4x4. The ARB part number is 170206. Alternately:

Finally, it looks like Fastenal Part#: 0441394 also works.

If I remember correctly the tube diameter is 5mm as well. At work we have 4 mm and 6 mm and I couldn't find any 5 mm when I needed some other than buying ARB. I remember seeing a link a few years ago on what fittings were needed to convert to 1/4 inch tubing. I will try to find that info as some may like that info and to carry as an emergency spare.

We carry a lot of metric tubing at work, let me look tomorrow to see if we have any 5mm couplers.

If I was in town, I would look, but I think I have some extra at the house about 5 feet w/ couplings

I found a coupling that I can just cut both damaged/melted ends and hook it right up. Shouldn't take any time at all.

Ya, you would think that someone else out there carries 5mm connections and fittings??
