Pressure Required To Run Air Lockers

Submitted: Tuesday, Aug 01, 2006 at 19:12

Of Mice & Men

Hi All,
I picked up a second hand air locker over the weekend & I will look at installing it shortly. However, I was wondering what sort of pressure these things run at. Any information from someone that owns one would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, OM&M.

I think it is around 80-90psi. That is what they market their cutout switches at for the compressor that goes woth them. Best bet is to buy the little "Locker only" compressor they market for about $150

Agree with the 80 psi, from memory that is what the recomended pressure is.
They will lock with less pressure but that is what is recomended.

They are speced at 85 - 105 PSI. This is also what the pressure switch that controls the compressor operates at. My ARB locker will activate around 70 PSI.
