Still some really good tips. I just got air in my van and trying to work out the bugs. Wisconsin in the house 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes to smell things when I open them up for the first time.

Medium weight Tite Seal works great for threads, too.

Thanks for the tips guys I just did air ride on my C10 it's been a pain in the ass leeks has been my biggest issue

Leaks are always a big issue! Takes a while to track them all down and fix them. Let me know if you have any specific problems.

Sweet!!

Finally!

Joshua Walling No worries man, just happy to see some new content :)

If your check valves go bad, they will cause your compressor to go bad because they are fighting the back pressure coming back into the compressors. A way to check if your check valves are bad are unscrew the filters on the back of the compressors and spray some soapy water around where the filters screw in. If air is coming out of those holes then your check valves are bad.

A solid tip!

I like Robert Oberst shirt you got

Thanks for the vid. Could you share on why it is not optimal to side mount the compressors?

@joshwalling4633

All about condensation buildup. First, the manufacturers do not recommend mounting them sideways (it’s in their instruction manuals). Second, if they are sideways, condensation can build up on the cylinder walls within the compressor and could corrode and wear out the piston seal prematurely (my best guess anyways).

Good stuff! What size boards (dimensions) did you use for the support/framing in your trunk setup?

I can’t recall specifically, 1xsomething (maybe 1x3? Is that even a thing? Haha I just grabbed what looked right without being overkill.

What does a tank drain look like? Also water traps, can that be installed in any air system? How do you feel about safety pressure relief valves on tanks?

@joshwalling4633

There are a few types of tank drains. Mine is just a tire Schroeder valve connected at the end of a short line from the bottom of the tank. I’ve not seen safety relief valves used. If you have a good air management system it should shut off at the proper pressure, but I guess it couldn’t hurt. Yes, air traps can be installed in any air system. They often don’t come with kits.

Can you a link of the water traps and check valves you got from smc?

They are the 1/4” SMC valves, you can find them on the bagriders website.

Most air ride installs are generally the same, just a matter of routing the wiring and the air lines. If you can install coils you can install this! Go for it!

having an issue where the fuse on the line that leads to my main compressor & manifold. Any advice yall can give me, planning on replacing the compressor then working to the harness

It could definitely be your compressor going out on you and drawing too much current.

Do you know if the bumper air vents for the r32 fits a regular mk4 golf?

Do you have a part number for the smc check valve?

@joshwalling4633

5 жыл бұрын

The part number depends on your line size, but if you google “bagriders 1/4 smc check valve” it will pull up their page for it.

Is that wear due to the mounting position, or is that normal for this type of compressor?

Wear in the compressor?

Quick question why would you need a water trap coming from the compressor like certainly there should be a one way valve

@joshwalling4633

2 жыл бұрын

That is actually where the majority of water gets trapped (besides the tank itself). There certainly is a one-way valve, but the water traps are not to protect the compressor, they are to prevent condensation from building up within the system (and in particular, within the manifold, valves, and lines).

Do they make a air dryer like on semi trucks?

@joshwalling4633

4 жыл бұрын

The water traps have a air drying element in them, sorry I forgot to specify that in the video.

I just picked up my air suspension, should I pick up a water trap for each of my compressor? Even tho I have one going straight to my manifold ?

@joshwalling4633

3 жыл бұрын

I would recommend it. Water traps can also sometimes act as a filter, so I especially like them before a manifold.

@@joshwalling4633 appreciate it. Last question what fitting did u use in order to connect the airline straight to the tank? I see compressor-> watertrap -> airline to ??? Im assuming you have a push connect connected to the tank?

@joshwalling4633

3 жыл бұрын

Kind of, you can use a PTC fitting for sure, and I did for a number of years. In the setup shown in the video I had the airlines connected to PTC to AN bulkhead fittings in my false floor behind my tank. Then AN hardlines from the bulkhead fitting to the tank. This is just for looks though, you can connect the soft airlines directly to the tank using PTC fittings.

What make are the water traps?
