interesting. I like the coiled hose. its never given me an issue, and its long enough to hit all the tires without moving the compressor.


the connections are good too, but yes, NOT standard. they have a larger opening than a standard 1/4", so I left them in place. but I did change the dumb screw on valve. I used a nice lock on euro valve. much better.

I went to harbor freight, and bought 2 of their coiled hoses, for about $6 each. then I got a couple quick disconnects, a TEE and a pair of euro lock on chucks. I do 2 tires at a time. works great.
I considered doing 4, but didn't want to deal with that much hose. and, its too easy to overinflate tires. too many things going on...

Cool thank you. i know this can be built for much cheaper, its just how much time am i willing to invest in it.

i like the all 4 corners approach, more time to have fun and/or do other things. although i do share the same worries you have. im sure if you have a tire that is a couple of LBs off, it will just create an average reading of all 4 through equilibrium. for 100% piece of mind you would likely need to go back through after youve aired up and make sure everything is good to go. im sure the hoses get it real close, but when you have real world factors at play messing with each individual tire, its damn near impossible to keep all 4 at the same PSI with this type of line/setup.

During filling, sure... but if you just turn off the air source, the tires will equalize themselves - they are all directly connected by a hose! They can't get too far off during filling, otherwise the air going to the higher pressure tire will reduce to compensate. Same deal on deflating. After you get where you think you want to be, wait for a bit with all tires connected and they will equalize.

Thanks for the heads up, I've been waiting on a good deal on a compressor for a while now and this was perfect.

you are 100% correct. i didnt take into consideration that the valves on the valve stems cause the valve stems to stay open and create equilibrium through the connected lines. thank you.
