im sorry to be stupid, tank guage?

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

A gauge to measure tank pressure. Ideally, you'll have five gauges: one for each bag, and one measuring the air pressure in the tank. Obviously dual-needle gauges like you've got above combine two gauges into one, so you'd wind up with three.

Like I say, a gauge for tank pressure isn't absolutely essential, but it's pretty useful.

okay I think the 3 gauges I have are all dual needle? how much would a tank gauge be. I kinda wanna be able to fix something on my own, my neighbor had a stanced mini truck. So I would have help but would also like to learn on my own.

Not my vid but setup the same way as my car . One 1/4 line per valve

finally was able to watch this I like this honestly wasn't that slow for me at all.

All you're looking for is a 200 PSI single-needle pressure gauge. They're like $10 and up, depending on how cool of one you want. This one wouldn't be a bad choice, since it's illuminated and comes with fittings and some line. If you want cheap, this'd work fine for what you're doing.

Remember, that's with 1 1/4" line per valve not 1 for all four. That's essentially 4x the movement rate you'd get with only a single 1/4" line feeding your switchbank.

alright well I got some homework to do myself, ill have to look more closely at what I have in my room for my kit so I fully understand everything. I know what I have just what I guess is what I don't understand is how they all work together if that makes sense ill have to check funds to buy that combo pack I think that would be better for me. thank guys for your help.

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Just a quick question now that I'm thinking about it: your switches - they look like electrical switches, not paddle switches, is that correct? If they're electrical switches, you'll still need a valve setup of some sort. If you've got paddles with air fittings on them, then nevermind.

[baggedb16sentra]

how can I tell I can look at them now, and post pictures later tomorrow.?

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Do they have electrical connections on the back (usually spade connectors), or some sort of air fittings? In your pic above, it looks like they have spade connectors on the back, but I'm kind of blind.

[baggedb16sentra]

okay let me get a better picture for you, tomorrow ill post better pictures of everything.

Looks like you've got barb fittings there, so those are paddle valves, which'll save you the cost of a valve assembly, though you'll have a fair amount of air line routing to do.

As far as I know, DOT air line will not seal to a barb fitting, so you're going to want to get a short length of 1/4" 200 psi rubber air hose and make some adapters with a 1/4" barb x 1/4" NPT fitting and a 1/4" NPT x 1/4" PTC fitting to connect the DOT air line (which wants a PTC connection) to the paddles.

Here's the layout of how I'd go about it. Everything in the diagram is available either at BagRiders or at any decent hardware store, with the exception of the manifold, which I'd get [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Coilhose-Pneumatics-Manifold-2-Inch-Supply/dp/B008PZ627C/ref=sr_1_50?ie=UTF8&qid=1396307627&sr=8-50&keywords=1%2F2%22+npt+manifold"]here[/ame]. You could also make a manifold out of a bunch of tee fittings, but it'll be bigger and have a lot more points where it could leak.

On my phone so hard to read. This looks to be math and I struggled in math lol thanks alot. I owe you

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

No math, just lots of fittings.

Feel free to substitute 1/4" air line for the 1/8" in the diagram - I only included the 1/8" because if you get the tank pressure gauge combo kit thing from BagRiders, you'll have a ton of extra 1/8" line. Might as well use it, since it's a lot easier to route than 1/4".

[baggedb16sentra]

alright ill have to look into, so using 1/8th line would be a lot better then 1/4?
