Air Emergency setups

I am closing in on getting all my fittings purchased(broke the fuck outta me!!)and I am thinking I wanna run some type of couplers or something so I can hook up a shop air hose in case my compressor takes a shit or something. But I was thinking, what if i am not around a shop and I lose air??? what type of emergency crap do you daily drivers have as far as air setup and extra parts+tools that you carry in your truck?

Run check valves,bag will not lose air in less bag blows,or line between bag & valves breaks. Put valves close to bags,& can use braided line from manifold to bag for a more secure set up!

i run all stainless hardlines and check valves and also have a coupler on a valve for if my compressor takes a poop on me i can air it up w/ the shop comp or hook up a nitrogen bottle ...im currently running nitrogen off my port due to my damn az always burnin up

-Shraeder valve in the tank in case the compressor dies
-Line/ Line coupler fittings (at least two) in the glovebox
-20 feet of air line

If you've got these things with you at all times, you shouldn't be stuck unless a bag blows. The shraeder valve is the same as a tire valve, so you can fill the tank up if your pump dies. The line and couplers can be used to patch a line or bypass a valve assembly.

Check valves are a great safety feature, but they slow the system down considerably, so you need to decide what your priorities are. Honestly, if your system is plumbed and wired properly, you shouldn't have any problems with reliability.
Good luck!

how the hell do you plumb a schrader valve into a tank and would it hold 200 psi???

you screw it in to one of the ports with a reducer fitting and yes they hold 200psi i forgot to turn off my edc and i have a 300 psi gauge and it was past 300 and it held just fine

Fbimini.com sells them there not the actual stem that gos into a tire, its got threads on the back of it. there super cheap - i always throw one on just in case, never had to use it. but its just good to have.

o rielys and auto zone and any hardware stor have them to i think they were like a 1.99 each

A dive bottle/scuba tank set up!

It has saved me once when the truck was laid out, and the compressor relay failed

Also great for switch play & hopping = Instant air
