Air Fittings

Where are you guys getting your press on air fittings from? The fittings I received from ART with my valve and compressor setup fit my rear bags on my Porterbuilt setup but I can't seem to find press on fittings that fit the front bags. The front are slam specialties bags and I believe they have the 1/2" opening. I need to reduce from the 1/2" opening to a 1/4" line. Any info would help, thanks.

Re: Air Fittings

Use a 3/8"-to-1/2" bushing.
Then buy a 3/8NPT-to-1/4" air line fitting.

You can purchase brass DOT approved fittings from your local Fastenal store also.

Re: Air Fittings

I like the brass "swivel" fittings better.
Just make sure they are DOT approved.

Re: Air Fittings

I just ordered some from ^there. Helpful people and they have the Parker DOT fittings. I have the non DOT Prestolok from my old truck and the DOT Prestomatic are much better fittings.
