I have two tanks from KP the tanks have:

(2) 3/8" ports on each end
(2) 1/2" ports on each side
(1) 1/4" port on the bottom

My questions are, Will one 3/8" line per two fill valves be significantly slower on the fill than each fill valve having it's own 3/8" line from the tank?

My reason is. I was going to tee the rear valves off of the tank, meaning both rear fill valves would share a single 3/8" port.

For the front I was going to run a single 3/8" line to the front valves.

Would it be faster and and more beneficial to run individual lines to the front?

Mega Confused, any input will be appreciated!!!

one line is enough :imo unless you are trying to hop. If you are worried, just run a single 1/2" line to the front.

On mine i ran a single 3/4" line to the front to feed both 3/4" fill valves. It would be a pain in the ass to run 2 3/4" lines all the way to the front.

def not trying to hop. Im also trying to keep everything 3/8's. So a single 3/8" to the front would be fast enough to air up quick?

yup that will be good enough. You going to run a 175 or 200psi pressure switch?


I don't even know why i ran 3/4". It was a pain in the ass and expensive. I should have ran like dual 1/4" :crazy:

165 on 200 off.

Does the pressure switch have to be mounted in the tank, taking up a port? Can I tee it in somewhere, like on the union for the rear valve block?

as long as it is on the tank pressure side

i have my valves all hooked together with 1, 1/2" line feeding them then 3/8 to each bag. not super fast but not super slow either

Someone should make a doodle of this to clarify please.

 

[.ONTHEAIR.]

ok! on I have no idea WTF a doodle is but it sounds gay as shit. Two I am running the rear valves tee'd off the tank with all 3/8" plumbing. The front will have a single 3/8" line running up the frame rail and into the front valve assembly. Are my fill speeds gonna be hella slow?

I'm assuming doodle = shitty quick drawing.

yeah a sketch of some sort.

I ran 1/2 inch lines an 3/8 vavles an it was too fast to I have to dump an fill controls.

 

[.ONTHEAIR.]

yeah im not looking to hop or shoot someone throught the roof. single 3/8" line feeding both fills should be straight then!

It will be the perfect speed imo.

Btw what size valves are you runing?

 

[canadakustom]

on mine every thing is 3/8 lines and valves and its fast enought for me. i ran on single 3/8 line from the tank to a t for the front valves its working good.. the only 1/2 line i have is from my york compressor back to the tank.
