Paddle valves
I think I would like to do the paddle valves in my truck, but what I don't understand is how you dump with these? It says there is two barb fittings on the back and one goes to bags and the other goes to the tank. So how do these work?

Re: Paddle valves
They dump the air through a little hole on the back of the switch.

Ok so then there is two barb fittings and one hole? So I could just get another fitting then run a line from that fitting through a hole in the floor for my dump?

Re: Paddle valves
I don't think you can on those. It is a very tiny hole.

It's not very loud so that is good, but the air does smell funny. Especially with a new set of bags. |

Re: Paddle valves
Jason, Have you posted any photos of your ride with the paddle switch set up? I'd like to see it? How fast are the bags up and down?
