  • Accessory bung from the tank

    I've been day dreaming about my potential air set up and though it'd be really cool/convenient to have an additional line out for an air accessory to inflate tyres or a blower which would really come in handy when drying the car after a wash.

    Is this at all possible and what considerations should be made?

    It's absolutely possible - I have one on my setup.

    The only thing to think about is that automotive-sized compressors don't really put out all that much air compared to a big shop compressor, and the tank size is a limitation. If you're planning on using this feature often, you may want to factor into your design a larger tank or faster compressors.

    Also, if you're going to run a VU4 manifold (some others may be this way as well), you will want to plumb check valves inline on the inlet side to prevent loss of air pressure in the tank from causing your bags to lose pressure.

      Hi, thanks for they reply. It'd be more of a novelty and a feature I'd use on few occasions. Is the VU4 manifold the one accuair use?

        That is correct.
