Trailer Tire Fill Gauge Idea

[J Alper]

When i leave for a trip, the one thing i hate to do is fill the tires,  feels like the task take forever,  my tires are 110-PSI.  Now i can set it and walk away,

Nice idea. I cannot find a decent clip on fill hose. Where'd you get yours?

 

[Poule43]

This is a great idea!!!

 

[Lord of the Dunes]

Great idea! Are those screw on Schrader connectors?

KLC is correct that is the ones i used,

OK I gotta ask - How often do you have to put air in your trailer tires? I have a triple axle too and I think I maybe have to air them once a year if that. Do you have to fill every trip?

Great idea, you could also set it up for 4 and air up truck/jeep the same way.

works great for the truck also

correct I air them up every trip to 110PSI 

works great for the truck also 

I assume it gets real slow once it goes past 105? Let it sit for a couple of hours, or doesn’t take long?

Thanks guys, order a set of 4.

Good stuff.

Mine showed up yesterday, great find

I also hate the air it up routine - once a few  more people try it ... I'll give it a shot - great idea ...

I used a set up like that for airing down and airing up. Put a gauge and a shut off valve and it makes life easier for the guys who go the truck and trailer route.

Same but opposite for deflating.  If your INflating your tires, you're DEflated them.  Do pressure regulators work both ways?  Could you adjust it (or plumb) the other way to deflate all to the same pressure? 

Vice doing it one by one, or auto deflators...

I also made up one, I ordered the parts that LARS mentioned above, I just made up a single for now then I will get a 3 way connector and makeup the octopus lines. Going to try it on my trailer tires today and will report back. Thanks for the Idea Alper .
