Hi all, has anyone added an additional “air line” to the compressor on an Air assist Suspension system? Would like to add an extra line/attachment to be able to inflate tyres, paddle board, awning, air mattresses etc. If anyone has done this could you recommend what parts I would need and where I could get them?
 
I would have thought you could burn the pump out before inflating paddle boards and the like because of the volume of air needed.

I've got full air I wouldn't do it for the reason Manic states. Also with the size of the air lines you would never get the flow rate for a paddleboard.

Paddleboards are awkward, you initially need low pressure but high volume, then high pressure, but low volume.
I use one of these on the inflatable kayaks,
Amazon product ASIN B08696TW6RThis easily gets the volume in, then it's a quick half a dozen strokes of a hammer pump to get to the 3psi they run at [ Gumotex].
You will need to finish of with more pressure for paddleboards drop stitch decks, normally 10psi+. Not forgetting to make sure the valve is in the shut position, otherwise all that pumping escapes as soon as the connector is lifted :frowny:.
