manual paddle valve

Hey guys I was just wondering if any of you have used manual paddle valves and what your opinions are on them. How long do they take to fill the bags?

Re: manual paddle valve

Im using ballvales like what youd find in plumbing. As long as they Are W.O.G. certified they will work.

And here I thought my set-ups were 'primitive' . If it works, it works.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: manual paddle valve

Yes very primitive..


My set up is a 5 gallon air tank from a city bus with a schrader valve and air guage ran at 200 PSI.

Then 1/2 air line
2 Airlift dom 2600's
2 ball vales with long handles and 2 with short handles.

Eventually i would like to add a compressor but plan to leave my valves the way they are.

There is a dump valves, fill valve, and 2 bag valves. I plan to convert an old camaro auto shifter to be the handle for the bag valves and build a center console and kind of conceal the valves.

Right now there just in a braket i made and bolted to the floor.
