Blksn955.o DIY inflator setup (4 tire air up / air down system)

[Blksn955.o]

How does it work if, for example, you hook it up but the tires all have different PSI’s to begin with? Does it auto sync?

with all 4 tires connected it auto syncs as the pressure from all 4 tires is connected. It is a PSI load balance type setup as it will stabilize across all 4 tires.

yes it will equalize all the tire the same

Can't say anything about the other setup but Morrflate work great

Very cool. Thanks

Wow!! Very cool!! Definitely buying the parts!!!!!! Thanks for the parts list.

Made my own 4 tire inflator/deflator using flexzilla hose and ends.

I bought 50ft of 3/8 hose, 2 swivel ends and 4 regular ends. I used 2 Tee's, 5 ball valves, and 4 open air chucks. I found a generic manifold on Walmart's website and a measureman air guage.

Measured between the front and rear tire at the tread to give some lax wiggle room. Came up with 12ft 8in.

So lengths are working back to front.

12ft 8in rear tire to front tire.
10ft from front to manifold.

Leaving about 4ft extra that I will make into a short hose.

I put the swivel ends at the front tire connection to the line that goes to the manifold. since this will allow for the front tire to rotate and avoid some loop/tangle.

Layed out.

Nice work. I've aired up and down for decades for beach driving. I use screw-on deflator valves for air down, and at end of day, aired back up one tire at a time with one hose. Some beaches have a readily available air station. Usually, I use my own portable air pump.

Since being on this Bronco site over the last year, I've seen these multi-connector, long-hose tire inflators. It seems like too much hose to store, and alot of cumbersome work to connect 4 tires and use for both deflate/inflate.

Id like to be informed and educated. How does this system function? Both deflate & inflate?

Hooked up to one air source, how does a pump handle all 4 tires at once? Does the pressure equalize automatically?

I'm puzzled by this whole concept. Its new to me, having pumped up beach tires since I was a child in 1960.

If you like DIY stuff COO if not the Morrflate setup is only 20-30 buck more just FYI

Thanks. Thats an excellent, informative video. Intriguing.

Nice work & thanks for sharing!

Thats alot of hose to carry around ,I guess for home use its ok.
Years ago I made a similar setup for 2 wheels as I have a Detroit locker and its sensitive to size difference. Honestly I can do it faster one at a time and that hose sits on a nail on my garage wall.
I made one too and toyed with it for a while but its just a pain .
Spend $ on a set of adjustable deflates you will get more use from those.

Nice setup. Well done.

For me, I don’t see the benefit of this vs airing up one at a time really. You still have to connect and disconnect all four tires and it’s a lot more stuff to pack and unpack. Also, if you want to run slightly higher pressures on the front for optimal mileage and contact patch on the highway, this just complicates that.

Agree.
Once I saw that nest of hoses he unpacked to hookup, I said, not saving any time...then 12 minutes to air up....I bet a set of automatic deflators 20 years ago, those are the cats meow.
