I’ve been working on training style videos for VIAIR. Next week, these two videos will be paired down to become about 5 different videos for resellers to put on their own websites to help drive sales.
While these are mostly for those who sell VIAIR products, it will give others ideas about the scope of uses for our products as well.
No worries, I’ll have another video up eventually showing more uses (aka horns).
good video Lance just wanted to bring something up about the air systems recommended for tire inflation. I have the 20005 air source with the 2.0 gallon tank. Is this particular system not recommened for filling tires? And if not what could happen to it?
u could fill tires with any compressor and tank… u just let the compressor fill the tank, then u use the tank to fill the tires…
i fill my tires with my setup all the time…its great!
You could do it, but you may overheat the pump if you ran it for too long. I recommend the Air Source Kits for horns and other pneumatic needs, but not tires usually since the customers that call for OBA kits for tires typically have big tires to fill. If you’re just looking to maintain pressure by adding 5-10 PSI, then sure man - it would work. You would have to plumb it creatively though since there’s only one outlet.
Why go to that trouble? Just install a T-fitting and add a quick connect coupler…
You can even regulate the outbound pressure if you like… which would also be good for turning the pressure down to your horns if you’re in an area that is extra sensitive to noise…
We also sell a specific kit to add a quick connect line to an existing system:
I dig this - and have one in my toolbox on my Tundra for filling tires. Works just as well in your home shop too.
Every piece noted above is available through Hornblasters too.
Yeah bro my plumb setup is pretty unique ;). My tires are only 35 psi max doesnt take much to fill em up. Heres a pic of how I have everything plumbed not the greatest picture, but you can tell whats goin on. My quick connect for the tire hose sprouts off the side of a T fitting, and the saftey pop off sits on top.
hey lance , that tire fill kit with guage is a nice set-up .how much is that selling for? is it also available from h/b? never mind I found & ordered it thanks!
