ok chief... here we go! i am running 5/8 line and 1/2 smc's and i wanna know what is the best way to run the line off 1/2 ports of both the tank and valves... i just wanna get the most out of my 1/2 valves and 5/8 line! im worried ill run too many fittings that i wont have to and just end up slowing it down. some quick help would be great! or you can tell me what you would do!

i heard somewhere that your system will only be as fast as its weakest link (smallest fitting)....leads me to believe whether you got 1 bottle neck or 5, its only gonna flow as fast as its smallest\slowest point....just what i heard though, im sure slammed will let ya know shortly....

You've got single port bags I'm guessing? For best performance, mount the valve assembly close to the bag, like on top of the fender well or on the firewall. Just use a T as you normally would, since you've got single port bags. That's pretty much the fastest way to set it up.

yeah i know about tee fittings... but im not shure as what to use for going from 1/2 threaded orifice to 5/8 line. do i get a adapter to go from 1/2 to 5/8, then just run my line with a 5/8 pipe to 5/8 line fitting? i am worried that i may run fittings that i dont need and slow it down or just make more work for myself... can someone tell me exactly what i would need for a corner and how to put it together? this way i will know how to do it the right way and save myself some stress!

yes i have single port 1/2 inch airlift gen 2 2b6's

check this out y0!!!


If you get DOT fittings, you can run a 1/2" Thread x 5/8" Line, and NOT LOOSE ANY FLOW!!!!!!! it will be as fast as 3/8" x 5/8", or 5/8" x 5/8"!!!!!

 

[94badazz]

so i can run 1/2 fittings? like tee's? so i just run the line just like i would if i was running 1/2... except for the compression fittings from pipe to line do i use adapters for these or do they make 1/2 male threads that turn into 5/8 line (the pharrel and crush ring)? cause if so! sweet!

 

[SlammedDime]

Shit... i'd even run 3/8" tee's Your not gonna loose any speed in doing so. Yes, they make fittings with 1/2" thread x 5/8" line. There are tons of tons of varieties of fittings. This ain't no perfect world

 

[SlammedDime]

O... they also make 3/8" x 5/8" line fittings, like I said before, for the output of the 3/8" tee. It'll save ya a lil money, cuz 1/2" tee's are expensive

 

[94badazz]

well i already have all the tee's i could possibly need ( i work at a big rig place and i just pick them up from there). so where do i get the 1/2 threaded into 5/8 fittings? is there a good place to buy these?
