If u call me I'll go through exactly what u need in terms of sizes and I'll send u the group and they will all be parker.
If u r unsure of sizes u can text me pictures.
Get a list started. Let me help u.
Absolutely do not buy anything but parker.
Some of the stuff in home Depot and Lowe's r flat out chincy. Fleetpride in OK City recently put some "parker type" Chinese stuff in my hands. In the past they sold parker dont know if it was a local phenomenon or not.
When buying a fitting if it is not marked multiple times with a p.p.p.And parker dont put it on your bus.
The Chinese look alike squeal like a pig tightening up some dont ever seal and I've snapped one trying to tighten away bubbles. I have never snapped a parker ever.
That line, any of them, in the engine room get HOT. Lots of times they put braided steel line in there. Use the same that's used on the rest of the bus and anything in the engine bay if not braided covering it with black plastic wire loom protector to insulate it some.
Give me the line size I'll send u that too.
The small black is 1/4in.

Joe thank you very much for recommending the Parker fittings. I picked some up and some line from my local Parker dealer and you’re right those fittings are really robust.
Thanks again. If you’re ever in Dallas Fort Worth let me know I’ll buy your beer

What's the best source for the Parker fittings?
If u haven't been able to pin down a local supplier I can give u mine. I put phone orders and they ship to me everywhere. Even when shipping is involved prices r good.

Question, Did anyone ever create a list for air system fittings and hose sizes ? where to purchase, Etc ??

U want a rundown of the suspension fittings specifically?This is what I was refering to.
If u r after brake tank or aux air issues that is not something I can just put an order togeather in advance on.
Let me give u some common leak points for chassis.
The parking brake button both out the stem and at the fittings both.
Open the dash lid and check the fittings at the gauges
The seat both above and below the floor.
The black 1/4 in signal lines to 2 of the 4 above the rear suspension brake relays. On an h u can listen and sniff those by pulling 1 or 2 house batteries over the drives. They r push in fittings.
The push ins coming off the brake pedal valve under the drivers seat.
Air tank drains.
Aux is more Liberty specific but check the stems of the ride height valves where the arm mounts up. If it leaks there with key off that's chassis aux air leaking.
I use amprobe Amazon has it. Takes practice and it's not a do all end all. I also listen and paint dawn dish soap straight with a small artists brush.
My supplier is Precision Hose

Tell me if u r doing the suspension I can put an order togeather for u.
Good luck.
