I think that the sizing is done by trial and error and based on air compressor size and tools used.

I think a 3/4 inch main distribution and 1/2 inch drops for the regulators and hoses should work.

I assume that you will be using full air compressor pressure in the distribution pipes and reduce ...

At each point of use drop off the ceiling mounted distribution line there should be a long vertical run with a ball valve at the bottom. The point if use should be a tee off, high off this vertical pipe. This will allow condensation, rust or debris to collect on the bottom of the vertical pipe, and ...

When I use an air hungry tool at the end of a long hose I usually use a surge tank to increase available air supply. This allows the tool to run a little better with out running out of air.

I have an old tank with a male and female connector. I put it at the end of the hose and then run a short fat ...

Just remember to turn off the compressor each night or include a shutoff valve before the flexible tubing to be able to shut it off the distribution tubing when not needed.

If a soft line breaks, lets loose or leaks, your compressor will run all weekend long and burn itself up.

Thank you all.

Is that a heat duct, or a fresh air duct over the window??

If it is heat, is there a correct way to seal it, or is it duct tape to the rescue?

I guess that if it is fresh air (AC) you may want to seal it for the summer to get more fresh ...

Mike, I am older than your bus, by only 11 days.

well, I guess that this is the time to turn on the heat for the season.

do you have all the heat controls connected or is it full time high heat?

What is involved with hooking up the heat correctly?

Raj,

Did you add side gussets on the rear frame horns? Why is that necessary?

Are those seat belt mounting tabs lined up for the direction of pull when the seat belt is used.

The one next to the seat looks like it needs to be rotated in a little.

any details?

What do we need to do to join the VVWCA?

Where do I sign up?
