Making My dual fill air hose!
JT is, and has been for some time, showing his dual fill air hose as out of stock. gkamer started a discussion about air pressures here https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...ssure-readings. I decided it was time to post about how I made my own. Maybe it'll give others an idea how to make theirs.
I made my own dual fill air hose a few years ago. The dial gauge can be plugged into either the hose that connects directly to the valves, or into the air gun. The various connectors allow me to use the dual fill with any common air hose configuration at home, convenience stores, tire shops, etc. I put a flow restricter in the one adapter to better control air flow into small volumes like the rear shock air bag. The pressure gauge is a 0 - 100 dial gauge. A 0 - 60 would be better if you can find one. The air hose quick disconnects I used are the ones commonly used by homeowners, and others. They're referred to as industrial style.

Here is a clip on air chuck. I think this is the one I used. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NTH9...ressionRank=20. One additional benefit of this hose configuration is it is easy to push one of the chucks onto the rear tire valve. To remove you just pull back on the sleeve. You don't need to have both chucks on a tire valve.
