Tire equalizer

[Steve and Brenda]

Not sure where to put this but I needed a way to ensure the dually tires were of equal pressure. I build this adapter that connects to my compressor and hooks to each tire. Now all my tires - provided they're at the same temperature - are balanced so they're all carrying the same load. Also works well on the RV tires and, provided they're in the shade or done early in the morning, at the same pressure.

Steve and Brenda,
We have a dually and now you have me really confused. Why did you make this equalization device and how do you use it? Why is that you can't simply use a regular air hose to air up each tire to the same pressure? I am mechanically challenged and I am OLD and I have severe CRS. So you can see it may take a lot of explaining.

Thanks,
HamRad

I love it, but what was the cost to build that?

Fire5er,
Perhaps you can or will try to help me understand the advantage of something like this since the OP has thus far ignored my previous post. Don't get me wrong I think it is neat piece of work. What I don't understand is how you would use it and what is the advantage of this over just airing each tire?
Thanks,
HamRad

Hamrad,
It is just a method of airing all the tires at the same time. Once the gauge reads 80#, all the tires will have the exact same pressure in them.

Jim,
Thank you!

Neat idea!!! While airing up/down it may take me several attempts at increasing or decreasing the pressure in each tire to get them just right. I too can see the dollars add up as I look at the pics but then again it looks like a real time saver, very ingenious.
