View Full Version : air line size/ valve size? trialsrider172 Jan 13 2007, 10:07am Hey guys, im going to be bagging my truck soon, and I was not sure if i wanted 1/2 or 3/8 size lines and valves, do you know of any videos of a truck airing out with 1/2 or 3/88, also what would you recomend?? Alex4R Jan 13 2007, 10:18am go with 3/8", you will probably end up reducing them anyways. bdpaco Jan 13 2007, 11:39am my 3/8"valves dumped mad fast..i ended up getting some plugs and drilling a small hole in them to slow them down...if you dont want to run any bigger than 1/2" lines then just get all 3/8" valves..the inner diameter of 1/2" line is 3/8"..1/2" fill valves on 1/2" line wont be any faster.. slammedxonair Jan 13 2007, 12:31pm 1/4 inch valves for 3/8 air line 3/8 valves for 1/2 air line and 1/2 inch valves for 5/8 air line you save money and maxamize the flow threw the fittings this way. any thing you need let me know and ill help you out. Smorrison1 Jan 13 2007, 01:56pm 1/2 fill, 3/8 dump, with 1/2 OD line... http://www.rangerpowersports.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1572432#post1572432 slammedxonair Jan 13 2007, 02:02pm thats a waste of money if your gona run 3/8 dumps and half inch fills run 5/8 air line if your only gona run 1/2 air line save you money and buy all 3/8 valves the smallest hole will limet your air system which is the inside of the air line. Smorrison1 Jan 13 2007, 02:05pm thats a waste of money if your gona run 3/8 dumps and half inch fills run 5/8 air line if your only gona run 1/2 air line save you money and buy all 3/8 valves the smallest hole will limet your air system which is the inside of the air line. well considering airline is $.60 a foot and i only used 25 feet... I can afford to chunk $20 until I get fully bagged all around. Besides those fill valves are BORROWED valves. dude! lol slammedxonair Jan 13 2007, 02:11pm yea air line dont cost that much im just saying for people buying kits that dont know about air flow. the valves them selves are cheeper and you should maximize the flow for you money. i just mention this because people allways want to order 1/2 air valves and air line and i tell them you can save money on valves and fittings by keeping the 1/2 air line and going with 3/8 valves and fittings with 1/2 tube. i was just replying to the thread starters post tryin to help him out. Mightygreenrang Jan 13 2007, 05:49pm Yup slammed is right, 1/2" line 3/8" valves. Its flows great and is fast. |
