hi everyone. i just got my 5 gallon tank and 450c compressor and i just bought all the fittings for the system. on the tank (as pictured) i have a 145psi pressure switch, 175psi blow off safety valve, hose inlet for compressor, hose outlet for horns, and a pressure reciever (for digital gague.) for the compression fittings for the whole system it cost me $70. does that price for fittings make sense cuz i thought they were really cheap??
that sounds right… if not cheaper! Brass fittings add up quick!
Try getting some brass nipples… When i priced those out i almost fell over! $10-20 ea!
When i redid my whole setup i went out and spent about $150 on brass fittings , and the loctite 545 sealant! I still have a bunch of fitting left over to , but figure why return them when i will prob. use them again…
exactly! Its all about doing it right the first time! Nothing worse that putting together a awesome horn kit and a week later having a cheap fitting break , or leaks , etc…
Another good place to buy the fittings and air line is a parts place for 18 wheelers and dump trucks they use air for the brakes Thats were i get all mine from usually they have a bigger selection and right angle ones as well.
