How water proof are valves
I decided to put my tank, valves and compressor inside the bed. I don't have a bed cover. So I'm worried the rain will screw them up. I know people put them under the truck and they do get wet but is it bad for them?

I would make sure that you seal up the wiring. where it enters the solenoid. There is a rubber washer in there, but it doesn't seal well. I am putting a dab of silicone there as well as dielectric grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion.
Just a thought. |
