• Fixing Leaky Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags On A 2006 Toyota Tundra
  Seems like you have the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2245. There are a couple things that could be causing the leak. Best case, is that the threaded NPT fittings are leaking. All you would need to do is take them out and apply more Loctite Thread Sealant # LT37482. If that doesn't solve your problem and/or you want to cover all your bases while you have it apart, I would recommend getting new lines and fittings # F2012. If none of this solves your problem then it's time to...

• Installation Location of Engine Block Heater on 2016 Nissan NV2500 with the 5.6L V8
  The Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater # KH11412 will install in the front right of your 2016 Nissan NV2500 with the 5.6L V8. I've attached a diagram to assist. You will also want to use a thread sealant like # LT37482 or # LT37615. It is not quite as simple as unscrewing the plug and screwing in the heater, but it is close. You will need to drain your cooling system first because the plug gets immersed in coolant. Other than that, it is basically unscrewing and then screwing...

• Air Leaking from Fitting on Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs
  The first thing you are going to want to do is to take a bottle of soapy water and spray down all of the lines, fittings, and airbags while the system is inflated. There should be bubbles forming where the air is escaping. If air is escaping out of the fitting on top of the airbags then you are going to want to remove it. Once it is removed you would then want to recut the end of the airline with a tubing cutter like part # AL10530. Once this is down you can put some thread sealer like...

• How to Remove and Reinstall Push to Connect Air Fittings
  First you will want to completely deflate the airbags. Then to remove the air line from a push to connect fitting like part # F3128-1 you first push the outer metal ring inward and then pull the air line out. You may also need to push in on the air line and then pull out all while holding the metal ring in. It may take a few tries but this is the correct method. Then in order to remove the fitting you will want to place an open end wrench on the hex nut directly above the threads (see photo)....

• Troubleshooting Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 elbow leaking at swivel
  It is not uncommon to have a leak at the swivel fitting on your Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Springs # AL57338. It usually has to do with the hose not being cut cleanly. I've attached the portion of the installation instructions that deals directly with fixing this leak. My recommendation is to use the Air Lift Air Hose Cutter # AL10530 to ensure a clean cut on the hose. If you need to remove the fitting to reseal it, I recommend the Loctite Thread Sealant 545 # LT37482.

• Will a Torflex Lift Kit # K71-725-02 Work on an Aluminum Boat Trailer
  There isn't a trailer type restriction for the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-725-02 but there is an axle restriction. To use this kit your axle would have to be a Dexter #12 Torflex axle. And it can't be used if the brackets the axle is attached to now are 3 inches tall. There isn't any specific galvanic corrosion isolator designed for this part but there are many ways you can combat this potential problem. The easiest is probably going to be to apply additional coats of paint so that the metals...

• How to Fix a Leaky Pipe Under a Bathroom Sink
  If the pipe you are referring to has a threaded connection then you will need to remove the fitting, clean the threads, apply a sealant like part # LT37482 or part # A05-0265, and then retorque the fitting as needed. If the pipe you are referring to is made of PVC then you will want to remove it, clean where it slides into the coupler, and then again apply sealant like part # LT37467 before attaching it to the coupler. You will want to allow time for each of the compounds to dry before...

• Recommended Propane Connections for Fryer in Food Cart
  To connect your 40 lb portable propane tank, you will want the MB Sturgis Propane Pigtail - Stainless Overbraid # 100833-15. Then you will want the MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator - 11" Water Column Outlet # 108221. We do not have the adapter for the 3/4 inch NPT as that is not typical for RV use, so you will need to get a hose from a local home improvement store that has an adapter to the 1/4 inch male pipe thread to connect to the regulator. That combination will...

  The elbow fitting is a common place for leaks with air suspension kits such as the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57338 that you have. The most common culprit is an air line that is not cut completely flat and clean. I attached a section of the instructions that provide a few simple steps for diagnosing and fixing the leak.

• Air Ride Fittings, Gauges, And Valve Replacement Help
  The Air Lift Single Needle Gauge Panel with One Paddle Switch part # AL26161 can be used if you only want to use one valve to control both air bags. Since you currently have 2 valves controlling the air bags, you will need to "T" the lines coming from both air bags into one line, using the Air Lift Union T-Piece for 1/4" Air Lines part # AL21838. We do sell replacement air fittings if you would like to replace yours. However, I would need to know the NPT fitting size used on the back of...

• Trouble Preventing Brass Brake Line Fittings From Leaking On a Trailer
  The majority of our brake line fittings are made from brass which are a bit different than the steel brake line fittings you might be familiar with on a passenger vehicle. Generally speaking, the cause of these brass brake line fittings leaking is usually related to over-tightening as they are just not designed to be torqued to the same specification as the steel brake line fittings. I recommend you start by tightening the fittings by hand tight, then around 2-3 full rotations with a wrench....

• Is Teflon Tape Needed To Seal the Propane Regulator
  Yes, you will want to use some sort of thread sealer like part # LT37482 or pipe tape like part # A05-0265 on the NPT fittings inside of the MB Sturgis Single Stage Propane Regulator part # 108072. As a general rule, all NPT fittings should have some sort of thread sealer or pipe tape on them. Not to confuse you but some supply hoses (propane tank to regulator) like part # 100833-12 come with an inverted flare fitting and if that is the case then you would also need part # 402258-MBS...

• Can Loctite Thread Sealant 545 be Used with Potable Water Systems
  Loctite Thread Sealant 545 # LT37482 is not designed for potable water systems and should not be used. There are chemicals in it that can be harmful if ingested. If joining copper pipes I recommend using solder to join non-threaded pieces and thread seal tape such as # A05-0265 on the threads of threaded pieces. Plumbers dope can be used on the plastic PVC-like pipes; available at hardware stores. If the PVC pipes are not threaded you should use primer and the appropriate adhesive for joining...

According to Loc Tite you just need to let it dry for a minute. If left clean it will still work up to a month after application.

• Troubleshooting Kodiak Brake Line Brass Tee Fitting Leaking
  Usually when we see leaking on a brass fitting like the tee from the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # 18SI-BLKIT it is due to overtightening. Start by hand tightening, then take it around 2-3 rotations with a wrench. After that check for leaks and tighten more if needed. It shouldn't be necessary but you could always use Loctite Thread Sealant 545 # LT37482 if you can't get the leak to stop.

• Best Way to Tap Into The Factory Transmission Pan on a 2012 Ford F-150
  The mounting hole size for the Derale Universal Drain Plug Kit for Transmission Pan Coolers part # D13010 is 1/2" and the inlet thread size is 1/8". If you are looking to install a sending unit on an aluminum transmission pan, I recommend using the Derale 3/8" NPT Female Aluminum Weld Bung part # D98002 and having a professional certified welder tig weld the bung on for you. From here you can then use a NPT 3/8" to 5/16" reducer to work with your sending unit. Don't forget to use Loctite...
