DIY 4 Tire Inflator/Deflator

SlashRacer

Feb 13, 2022

I made a 4 tire inflator/deflator today. Will make airing down/up so much easier!!!

Started off with a 50’ roll of 1/4” Flexzilla air hose. I cut 10’ off of both ends of the hose so each 10’ section had a threaded black end. These are the 2 black ends in the brass 4 square in the center. I cut two 3’ pieces and cut the last piece into two 12’ pieces.

10’ hose from 4 square to brass T fitting, 3’ hose coming off the T, and the 12’ hose coming off the end and going to the air fitting. There is an air fitting on the end of every hose that will clip on to the valve stems. The air fittings are closed style.

All of these parts were purchased on Amazon.
Air hose
Pressure gauge
Shut off valve
Brass barbed T
Brass 4 way fitting
Brass barbed hose fittings
Air chucks - closed flow
M style plug
Hose ear clamps/pliers
Adapter
Make tank valve

Also made this little air chuck that will work at a gas station if the onboard air compressor doesn’t work.

That's REALLY cool! Nice work. I guess I'm lazy, or just have more money than time. I bought the Morrflate 4 tire inflator/deflator. Works like a champ. You can find them here: https://morrflate.com if you would rather buy than build.

I built it for 1/2 the cost and it took all of 20 minutes to put it together. ;)

Nice work @SlashRacer and thanks for sharing.

My only concern would be those schrader valve clips for beadlock capable rims due to the recessed valve stems and rim armor. Do they fit ok?

I have those wheels on my bronco. I clipped them onto my valve stems to test after I built it.

Heck I already have to many opportunities to be lazy, I don’t need anymore. And half the price? No brainer for me. A lot of satisfaction doing it myself. Now if I could only get my Bronco! Great post Mike!

Great job Mike. That was good thinking about the special connection for gas station use.

The single tooth chucks can be a little fussy to get firmly locked onto the valve stem, but once they’re on they’re on. You can tell pretty quick if one tire starts to drift away (watch the dash TPMS) then you know it’s time to reseat the chuck.

I may experiment with a larger locking chuck. But those beadlock stems are definitely protected! Not a lot of room to work for sure…

Brilliant fabrication and efficient process! Well done, sir. I'm with Tim on this one. I just need the vehicle to attach the hose ends too. :P

90% of my time on the internet is done on my phone. It will take me a little longer, but I will get it done. Gone are the days of having 2 displays. :(

I will edit the first post and add the list to the first post when I done.

First post has been updated and has the links to the stuff needed to make this.

I did not provide a link for the Teflon pipe tape because I had a roll at home already.

Prices must have gone up. I only had $130-140 into it.
