Is it possible to connect an airline to this compressor for emergency tire fills?

Realistically, this compressor is inadequate for the job. The volume it produces is far too small to do a tire in a reasonable amount of time. ARB offers a tire inflation kit (part #171302) that can be fitted to any of the larger compressors such as the CKMA12. However, even that model is slow. Expect a 30 minute fill time for a tire.

Your will have to put a T fitting between the Compressor and one of the locker solenoids. Then attach an air chuck to the T Fitting. I would only use it for emergencies like you mentioned. I don't think the compressor is designed to be used for a continuous period of time.

I doubt it would generate enough pressure. Its a tiny compressor designed for actuating the lockers. ARB does make a slightly larger twin tank compressor that duals as locker actuator and will add air to tires. Google for comparitive specs.

Technically yes, but it will take way to long, and no way if you break the bead. Bring a CO2 bottle with a pressure reg and tire air chuck. You can even run pneumatic tools with it

Yes if the compressors full load rating is 10 amp. Which in general, you would not reach unless you took the compressor to full psi rated value. The compressor just running at half load is way less. This cable is of good quality and build.

I use my compressor to fill my bicycle and car tire w/o problems. Make sure you set the pressure with the dedicated gauge/knob to the desired/limit pressure of what you are inflating. This compressor is a great buy for the money.

Standard air hose quick connect works. Any compressor supply company carries it. Home Depot even has the quick connect fitting for it.

I imagine it could be, but I would think it would take quite awhile to fill a tire. It's a small compressor, because the air bags don't take much air.

This is a normal air compressor with relay switch for valves and on/off. If your car has a 12v battery it will work. All you need to worry about is where to mount it, routing the air line in a safe place (away from heat and abrasion). This is not for filling up your tires or running air tools. This is for a air locker. If you hooked it up to a larger supply tank then it would take a long time to fill up and you will be over working your pump, possibly burning it out. It probably would fill up a tire...in about 45 min or better depending on the size of tire. this pump is smaller than a tissue box so don't expect high CFM.

I used my air compressor. Too bad they didn't come with tires that never go flat. I might switch mine with those. Harbor Freight if you have them near you has tires that never go flat and you don't have to inflate.

no, u cant. A home air compressor will not work. need HPA to fill it- paintball shops or scuba tanks

This is the best of several air pumps I have had in the past. I have no idea if it would work for that application. It has plenty of capacity and multiply types of connections. I have used it inflate tires but nothing else.

The quick disconnect on the 300P compressor appears to be a standard fitting. Not having one handy, I called Viaair (very quick to get them on the phone, kudos!) and their tech support advised that while not all of their portable compressors take standard quick disconnects, the 300P uses a standard "industrial" style quick disconnect that should fit most air hoses used for air tools and tire inflators. They actually recommend doing this if the 300P will be used in freezing, or colder, temperatures, since the included coiled air hose would be too stiff and brittle.

I would think you can,though it might take a long time, and you would need to watch closely for overheating. As for outlet, the compressor won't work without electricity, so you not only can, but must connect.

We have yet to use the compressor due to not having 220V electrical power hooked up yet. We will be using this unit to operate (hopefully) and/or DOP test air powered HEPA vacuum cleaners in a nuclear power station. Sorry that I could not be of more help.

yes, you need to get a gauge when you fill it, you don't want to overfill your compressor.

Also look at the ratings for the compressor if if is less than 1 amp it might work, but I really do not think so as there would also be a surge as the compressor started.

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

Yes, as long as your air compressor has the proper male 1/4" npt fitting on the outlet.

No.. it won't put out enough air. Perfect for air shocks, but you are better off getting a small portable air compressor for tires.
