York Compressor Onboard Air Schematic - ARB Locker Pneumatic Diagram (Bronco)

Schematic of an onboard air system showing compressor, air tank, pressure regulator and solenoids feeding ARB lockers.

AI caption · Photo 311 of 2788

This document is a simple hand-drawn pneumatic (onboard air) system schematic, uploaded to a 1989 Ford Bronco gallery. It illustrates the flow of compressed air through an off-road onboard air setup. A York Compressor feeds air through a Check Valve into a manifold/distribution block connected to a Guage (gauge), Pressure Switch, and Safety Valve, and to an AIR Tank. From the tank, one line goes out to 'Accessories / Tools' (e.g., air tools or tire inflation), and another line passes through a Pressure Regulator before splitting to two Solenoid valves, each of which actuates an ARB Locker (air-actuated differential locker) at the front and rear. The diagram uses colored blocks and orange lines to represent components and air lines, with directional arrows at the check valve and solenoids indicating one-way flow/valving. A faint watermark reading 'Chexmix 2007' appears at the bottom, likely identifying the creator and creation year. A reader can learn the overall plumbing order for a York-compressor-based onboard air system: compressor → check valve → gauge/pressure switch/safety valve manifold → air tank → regulated output to ARB locker solenoids, plus an unregulated accessories/tools tap. No part numbers, pressures, fitting sizes, or torque specs are given.

Frequently asked questions

What compressor is used in this onboard air diagram?
A York Compressor, shown feeding the system through a Check Valve.
What components sit between the compressor and the air tank?
A Check Valve leading to a manifold with a Guage (gauge), Pressure Switch, and Safety Valve, which connects to the AIR Tank.
How are the ARB Lockers supplied with air in this diagram?
Air from the tank passes through a Pressure Regulator, then splits to two Solenoid valves, each feeding an ARB Locker.
Does the system provide an output for air tools?
Yes, a separate line from the tank/manifold is labeled 'Accessories / Tools'.
Does the diagram specify pressures or part numbers?
No. It only shows component names and plumbing layout; no pressures, part numbers, or fitting sizes are given.
