Anyone ever use Super Glue on leaking air line?

I ended up doing the exact same thing tonight. It actually started yesterday. My air line from my compressor to my drier split open because the braided hose had rubbed through against the underside of the cab. I'm in Wichita Falls right now and I called a local mechanic to see if he had any braided hose and he came and picked me up and took me to a buddy's forklift repair shop in town and we made a new hydraulic hose to put in it's place with new #12 JIC fittings on each end.

The truck is back up and running and filling the tanks with zero leaks.

 

Anyone mind throwing up a few links of the compression fittings/sleeves mentioned here?.

It would help me and maybe others know what to buy to have on the truck.

 

This is what the brass compression fittings look like...



This is what the composite fittings look like...

 

Make sure they are stamped DOT fittings

 

If you need to repair an air line from the truck to the trailer and you have rubber hoses then this is one that will work...



If you have the plastic lines the compression fittings in the corect size will do the job.

If you need to repair the end that attached to the gladhands then this is the repair fitting...



Or this for rubber hoses...

 

First time a plastic air line leaks or breaks it gets replaced with Aeroquip/Stratoflex and real fittings. Never gonna worry about it ever again. Those cute little brittle Shirley Temple curly hoses get replaced with thick wall real rubber air brake hose.

 

Compression sleeves are all you need at the glad hand. Some call em ferrules.

You simply loosen the nut and slide it down the line. Cut the line. Pull the old one off the glad hand. Slide new ferrule on line. Insert line to gladhand. Slide ferrule up to gladhand. Tighten nut back on.

DOT WILL NEVER KNOW.

As for the lines. If you can get your hands on the quick connects. Those are the best. No tools needed for those puppies.
