Video Transcript for Air Lift Union T-Piece Review

Today we're gonna be taking a look at Air Lift's Union T-piece for quarter-inch air lines. And there are two main reasons you may want this unit when installing airbags. You can use it when installing a compressor to tee off and give yourself a manual inflation valve or like we're using it here on this truck to take the left and right side airbags and bring them into one so we can fILL them up simultaneously.We've got ours installed here so our inflation valve is coming out the center of the tee and the two coming off the sides go to both our left and our right side airbags. You may prefer this setup if you just want to quickly air up your airbags simultaneously. Now, you are going to lose the ability to air the up independently from side to side. That's gonna be important if you're trying to adjust for uneven loads.

You may want them to be different on one or the other. But if you're not really using it for uneven load purposes, this is going to make airing them up and deflating them much quicker if you're constantly hooking up and removing the same trailer over and over that doesn't need left and right load leveling.On our Air Lift compressor systems, it already comes with one T-fitting to allow it to air out both bags simultaneously, but if you want to add a manual inflation valve to it, you'll need a second T-fitting here. This can be installed anywhere between your air compressor and airbags in line on any of these quarter-inch airline hoses that's gonna be run. You just simply place it in between and have the center one go out to your manual inflation valve.Now, we'll show you how you connect and disconnect airlines form this fitting. It's a click-connect fitting, so you simply just push them in.

But to release them, the end here actually slides inward, and I'm using a eight millimeter wrench to do this. You just need something that'll push in on both sides. So, it pushes that in evenly and that'll allow it to release, and the hose just simply slides out. To put it in, you simply just push it in. And I like to kind of push it in and pull out a few times to make sure it's fully seated.

And as you can see here, if I'm not pressing in on that collar there at the end, I cannot pull this out. It automatically locks itself in place. And that completes our look at Air Lift's Union T-piece for quarter-inch airlines.

The air lift union tee is working good now for 4 days since being installed on my 2012 Honda Odyssey! No complaints here!

The Airlift system is still working great! I keep 10 pounds of air on it even when not pulling my trailer because ok the stability it provides. ??

@Vincent Perfect! You want to leave at least 5 psi in the bags at all times....


by:

Cannot be beat for the value and performance-
Towing
a 7K lb boat with Independent suspension on the Toyota Sequoiq, this eliminated the sag and actually rides better inflated even without the trailer weight. Installation is easy and straight forward. Jack the vehicle up and use zip ties to make the bags smaller and tighter to slide inbetween the springs, then cut ties!



by:

I just want to say that e-trailer is very easy to deal with I appreciate the fact they get right on the products that are ordered and have them shipped out as soon as possible. Also a few months back I had an issue with a break assembly that was shipped out and they had the new brake assembly sent out to me within three to four days. I will continue to use etrailer to purchase parts from for my RV repair business. Thanks again and I definitely highly recommend using a trailer.



by:

Work amazing. I pull a trailer every day for work. Big difference with these airbags installed. Rides a lot better.



by:

Product seems to work well so far. All parts and hardware were there in box which is always a plus. Only issue I had was, the left side upper bracket was a pain between the lines running down the frame and the Goosenck hitch. It said it worked with Gooseneck Hitch....but not that easy. I have a B&W gooseneck hitch already on my 2016 F250. It worked, but without removing the hitch and starting over with air bags first, getting the nut on the upper left mount was a pain because it has to go between the frame and the side plate for the hitch (no hole in side plate and about 1/2 -3/4 inch clearance for nut to go in on bolt near top of frame rail. Kindof same issue on right side, didnt use the 3/4" treaded frame insert that came with it, I just used a longer bolt and ran through both the mounting bracket, frame , and side plate for hitch, still using the spacer that came with hitch that had to be used between the frame and the hitch side plate. You can figure it out, just more of a pain than thought it would be. Will say their air fittings seem high quality and the send plenty of airline hose. The issues with the system installation with a gooseneck hitch in is the only reason I didnt give it 5 stars.

I’ve owned these air bags before on previous pickups and will not go with out firestone bags on any pickup I own. This set is for my new Chevy pickup.

Works well. Did not install duel valves to fill each side individually. Looking back may install fill valve for each side.

@Dave That is Tee-rific Dave! Thanks for sharing.


by:

Easy to install, directions were spot on. Just installed them so can't give the product a fair review. I installed ot with a t so both airbags have the same air pressure, I'm not dealing with uneven loads so I thought this would be the better way of doing it for me. I had some extra wire harness tubing left over so I user it for my air line to give it some extra protection



by:

It arrived earlier than expected. I opened the box and all looks good. The quality of the system looks very good. I'm happy I ordered the "T" it will make installation earsier and more secure. Thank you Etrailer



by:

Great costumer service. Easy install. Levels out the pickup and rides perfectly. Chevy Silverado 3.0 Duramax. Airstream 35’ 6500 lbs.



by:

Over all a good product. Instructions were a little confusing at first but worked out ok.



by:

This kit was excellent. It dramatically increased the safety and stability while towing a heavier trailer. Follow the instructions carefully. I had a muffler blow a hole out and "cook" one of the bags which caused a leak. Not the products fault, so I bought a replacement bag at a dealer while out on the road and was able to get going quickly. If used as intended and protected as instructed, this kit will serve you very well.



by:

Package was open in the box but all the parts were in the box.



by:

Thank you Quinn for all the help. I did in fact install the Schroeder valve in the fuel cap , and it works great! The bags installed in about an hour , and all worked great , thanks again! Rhett

It’s a airline T



by:

Upon unboxing, I'm highly satisfied. Looking forward to installing. Will follow up once complete. I had to call etrailer because the box was damaged and there were 3 parts missing from the box. I'm blaming the shipping company. Following my call with etrailer, the Rep made it right and got the missing parts in the mail the same day. I can say, etrailer makes everything right. Great service and I highly recommend etrailer to everyone.



by:

Everything came as shipped and came fast. Parts are high quality and fit as specified. All (4) of the 1-1/2 screws were too short and barely reached through the lower brackets (another 1/4" would be nice). Combined with the fact that there were also several things in the way when trying to put the nuts on to mount the lower bracket (2022 Silverado LTD) it turned the job into a much longer job. Success however was achieved. Haven't tested it with a load yet but when I aired them up to test for leaks it lifted the tail a lot.



by:

Worked great. Used the tee to tie the two bags together air wise. Put this on my niece’s 2017 tundra and would never see a load that was not evenly distributed so connected the two bags to make it easier for her.



by:

great service, better than Amazon, will try to order everything i can from etrailer



by:

Website and Live Chat told me these would work on my new truck. Videos showed easy installation. They would not fit without drilling the frame, something not included in instructions or videos. Bottom-line, not a fit per statements, instructions, videos. Had to pay a restocking fee to send them back. Have purchased other items in the past, very happy but have not purchased anything since the hassle a year ago with these springs. To be clear - the air springs looked great and well built. Imagine they would do the job. My issue is with the error of published statements and advice from Live Chat that they were a match to my truck. The error cost me $$$
I shared photos a year ago with customer service, deleted since.



by:

Very quick delivery. Installation instructions are very detailed and looks like a quality product. Well done.



by:

Prompt delivery. Instructions were excellent. Easy install.



by:

The air bag kit was easy to install, works great, but it was missing four - 3/8" nuts. The air bags tremendously improved the ride when pulling our RV. It all went together with the hitch we bought from etrailers a couple of years ago. Service is great and the people follow up. You all are our go-to company for truck and trailer parts.



by:

I have never been disappointed with etrailer.com. Great prices, quality products, and fast shipping...



by:

Simple tee I used to connect both of our air bags together. Worked exactly as expected
