dump trailer axles

Ok mounted and done thank goodness! I ended up installing an APSCO V-8 push/pull 4 way valve. Basically because that is what the trailer place I went to had on hand. I could not be happier! System paid for itself @ the first tight place I visited. I plumbed tank to up/down original valve to leveling valve to rear susp bags to the single supply port on one side of new valve. The other side of new valve has 2 ports. One went to susp bags and the other went to lift kit bags. Done deal. Thanks to all for their input.

 

So I found this.



And found here, http://www.finditparts.com/t/396/manufacturer/velvac/products/506501/velvac-320151

This one is $30. http://www.ebay.com/itm/190537017620?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

 

I got a Neway RL230 spread what lift kit would you guys recommend? Same as a Holland spread mentioned earlier?

​

 

I can say that any advice that is given by the previous posters is going to be spot on. Everything they advised that might happen, certainly did happen. Special thanks to Cetanediesel for the proper valve and posting that plumbiing diagram as this is EXACTLY how I finally plumbed the system. Works perfect. I went with a Sealco 152000 as the Velvac was not available at the time. The folks at Sealco even located a distributor near my location. This a truly a great site.

 

Hello

I need Help. I am getting ready install the lift kit on my trailer.

I am having trouble with the plumbing part.

Spread axle flat bed. Putting kit on front axle. Leveling valve is on the back axle.

If I use the out port of the leveling valve to refill the ride bags won't it take forever to refill the ride bags?


I know this is a old topic but I just do not get it.


Thanks Mike

 

It will take just as long as it would if you did not have a dump valve. If its plumbed the right way, it works.

 

Thanks for the come back Cetane, please be patient with me.

So If I were to cut the line come from the leveling valve that tee's into the front air bags I know air would come out of the air bags but nothing would come out of the side of the leveling valve. Am I correct there? If I am then the only time air would come from the leveling valve to fill the ride bags back up is when I put more weight on it or something that would cause the leveling valve to move. So it would take forever to fill the front ride bags back up. What am I missing.


Thanks Mike

 

The second the valve opens to allow the front airbags to reinflate, the pressure will equalize between the front and rear, causing the leveling valve to start adding air automatically. Does that make sense?

 

If you follow the flow of that diagram it will work. Good luck!

 

Thank You Very Much Cetane & Fortycalglock

I get it now. I did not know the air to the front bags and the rear bags were on the same circuit.

I am going to get started on it in the morning if the rain hold off. I can't get the trailer all the way into my building.

I am going to use a very similar Velvac valve only electric instead of manual. I have a Switch in my dash that controls a wire in my aux. 7 pin cord out back on my tractor.

Thanks again
Mike
