Thread: Air compressor, tank and fittings system?

Hi Vlad

On my air sprung boat trailer
I put one of these , standard ports for fittings
Good solid mounts
Easy peasy

For the trailer I just have a shraider fitting to fill the tank to 150 or whatever
Which feeds paddle switches to the bags

One tank fill gives me a couple up n downs

Was just easier than having a compressor on a boat trailer


Will do the job for you

AOB Air Tank 209 9 Litre Steel Black 200psi | eBay

I recently purchased Thumper brand compressor with quick release integral air tank, pressure switch, hoses electronic tyre guage and connectors from Ashdown ingrams………….was surprised by its size and capacity etc.
Perfect for easy fitting into a vehicle...…..just need 45 amps at 12 volts to drive it.
It is quiet as electric pumps go and has 30 min continuous run time ……..very impressed and I purchased at a special price....list price is not too flash.
101Ron

Is there enough room under the driver seat??

The tank list above will do the job, the bigger the tank the longer you can use it for blowing things out.

I’d only have the one outlet, and carry a hose long enough the track all four wheels.....previous owner of my old defer had outlet front and rear but I hanged it to one.

Nice heavy duty wiring....

Pop over to fittings express or is it express fittings at Brendale, and they’ll sort you out you out for fittings, they might even have tanks. Or Powell industrial at Virginia.

Fittings Express: Pneumatic fittings, compressed air and servicing

Pictures attached.
note...…. the size of thing.( Large)
note...….. it will quick detach from the air tank if necessary and compressor can be used alone.
note...... has all the hard work done, pressure switch,2x safety valves, dual outlets, pressure gauge, spare air filter ,rubber vibration mounts, thermal over load etc
note....comes with a special high temp metal sheaved pressure hose with quick connect fittings from compressor to tank ( no more hot hoses popping off the fittings.)( Hi temp hose stores on side of air tank if not used)
note...…..gauge, plastic air hoses, quick release fittings are all good quality.
retail price is something like $400 dollars, I got it for $200 on special.
even for $400 dollars it is worth less than the sum of its parts and no stuffing around to set it up.
I was supprized at its out put with or without tank.
I was half way building my own compressor tank set up and found this and went no further.
Air tank is 6 litres.
compressor cuts in and out as required to maintain pressure if used with tank.

Ashdown P/N TDR17200

All my stuff is fitted with Ryco connectors which I've been using for 50 plus years. Naturally, it was the wrong choice, nearly everyone these days uses Nitto which usually come with any air tool one buys.

I have a similar size tank mounted under the tray / box on the 130, the compressor is mounted in the canopy. Too noisy in the cab. I've always used the Jamac fittings, purely from force of habit / familiarity from my first job may years ago. I think the fittings with a larger bore are probably preferable, the extra flow can be an advantage in things like seating tubeless tyre beads, even inflating from flat.
