bags not holding air all night..is it the PTC parts?
 

ok so i just put a set of bags in the rear of my truck with shrader valves and PTC fittings..is there a better way to do this? what should i be useing,and yes i put sealent on all the threads going to check where the leak is with soap and water...are the PTC joints bad? what do you guys use?

Re: bags not holding air all night..is it the PTC parts?
 

What kind of PTC fittings? If they are DOT rated, they shouldn't leak. If they're not DOT rated, they can leak. Also, did you cut the airlines clean & square?

Re: bags not holding air all night..is it the PTC parts?
 

I like to put a little simple green and water in a bottle, spray it on and watch the bubbles. Sometimes you just need to tug a little harder on the PTC or re-cut the line.

Yeah the tubing cutter is a life saver.

I know your going to say why is he telling me this, but be freakin careful when cutting line with a razor. It should be supported on a hard surface, if you want to cut just the line and not your fingers. Not that I have ever done anything dumb like that, just sayin....;)

Re: bags not holding air all night..is it the PTC parts?
 

so i used a razor and the one side is all fixed but i cant seem to get the other side right..and yes my fittings are DOT.

Re: bags not holding air all night..is it the PTC parts?
 

Loctite 545 is what I use.
It's pneumatic/hydraulic thread sealant.
