Cool. 1/2" inlet/outlet? I've seen a couple that automatically drain once they're full. Any help you guys provide is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to seeing your install.

Heard there is a shop in Fife that I can get the auto draining water traps from, just gotta find it. Think I have to move my muffler before I can mount the air tank. A few details to work out. Thinking my tow mount will double as a mount for the tank and compressors.(With a few additions) Then...I'll be ready.

3/8" fittings. Don't know about the threads. Beefy looking stuff though. All metal. I thought there was plastic in there according to old pics I looked at. Are yours the one's that drain themselves when they get full?

If you got 3/8 air line, then your threads will be 1/4npt. I don't think they drain themselves, but they are heavy duty, solid metal. The 2 I'm using weigh half as much, but they are shiny....... My gear is inside, so I went with the shiny. I'll give you a good deal if you want them. The fittings aren't cheap!

Not everyone is looking for the same in an air setup. So what's "best" for you, may not be best for the next guy.
