Hey guys, I just had an ARB locker and compressor installed in my rig (woo hoo!) but the compressor is mounted a little lower than I would like. Question is, is it okay for it to be submerged in water (or mud for that matter) for any length of time?

Here's a quote from a retail site, "We've tested this unit in ovens, freezers, underwater and in the silty dust of the Simpson Desert and it continues to perform."

But the ARB instructions say to mount in a location to "avoid submerging during water crossings."

Anyone with real world experience on this topic?

 

a lot of people use the brake booster mounting method. where did they mount your compressor ?

 

It was mounted under the battery on the firewall behind the passenger wheel well area. It's tucked out of the way but is lower than I'd like.

 

I don't think I would take it swimming , that might cause all kinds of problems

 

Yeah, I don't plan on running anything at the hood line but I wonder about splash as well.

 

PM David from northridge 4x4 . he sold me mine and knows the product well.

 

I have one coming from David. Any chance I can hook it up to my snorkel?
