Viair Remote Guage

Osprey413 · Mar 23, 2006

I'm working on setting up my Viair onboard air system and I'm wondering how others have setup their remote pressure guage and switch. I'm supposed to run an airline to the guage using the pressure fitting on the back of the guage and a pressure fitting on the tank. I was wondering what others have used for the air line. Will pretty much any kind of rubber tubing work, or do I need a specific kind?

Use the plastic DOT air brake line. For just the guage 3/16" would be sufficient.

Why a guage? I have two guages in my system. One mounted directly to the regulator for the ARB's and then one for my air bags. Before the air bags I just had the one on the regulator.

You can see the guage and a tiny bit of the air line at the bottom of the pic.

For search results' sake, I'll toss in the correct spelling for ' GAUGE ' .

HAHA, sorry. Must have had a moment of dyslexia.

Osprey, my Viair kit came with the airline for the gauge. My write-up shows how I set mine up. Let me know if you have any questions. http://www.ericsxj.com/oba.htm

Here are a couple shots of the main on/off switch & gauge and the pressure switch & small tank (under the rear seat)
