Emergency Air Brake Service Line Broken on M931A2

[Retiredwarhorses]

Question
I just won an M931A2, in the video I see the front left Emergency Gland Hand unit is completly missing...the truck is running and it is dumping out Air...When I go to Pick it up, can I just cap it off? I thought about just taking the one off my 923 when I go to pick it up and install it to get it home....truck also has one rear flat tire...I hope its not worse then a Leaky CTIS assy on that tire...I will bring my Air hose to air it up..or should I just try and use the CTIS Compressor?

just looked at the 923, it looks like the fitting that passes through the frams would take a 3/4 galvanized cap...

There is no ctis compressor. It takes air from the primary air system I believe. If you have an open glad hand leaking air and the valve going to it is broken (not like the valves are reliable anyways) then you need to cap it. I would bring a few different size caps and plugs just in case and the air line to fill the tire just in case the ctis won't air it up.

Yes you can cap the Emergency glad Hand off. I think it is 1/2 pipe tread.
