PLUMBING INSTALLATION:

The Plumbing installation included reconnecting my already existing plumbing hardware from my previous on-board air system. This was convenient and easy since the plumbing usually takes the longest amount of install time out of the entire project. Simply attaching the outlet hose that was previously attached to the outlet on my belt driven converted air conditioning compressor (on-board air) to the Thomas outlet port. This includes manifolds, fittings, a 1 gallon air tank, adjustable pressure switch, pop-off valve (safety valve rated at 130psi) etc. Below is a chart of my plumbing diagram that was posted on a previously posted article on www.Off-Road.com. The "Non-York On-board air" article. See diagram below for plumbing installation. 

NOTE: When creating your On-Board-Air Setup be sure not to take any short-cuts. Remember your dealing with hi-pressure and if hardware (plumbing) is improperly installed may cause serious injury. I suggest buying all the necessary hardware and not purchasing the cheap hardware, buy the good stuff.

INSTALLATION PART 3:

To conclude the Thomas Industries on-board air setup, I went ahead and re-attached the battery cables now supplying the Thomas compressor with available 12volt power. For my application I ran a heavy duty on/off switch to the Thomas compressor to avoid draining the battery when not being used. For a final test I went ahead and let all the air out of my current tires (35x12.5x15 BFG Mud TA's). Then using only the Thomas compressor I filled the big 35" Tire to its running PSI setting. (30psi.). This airing up took very little time and was very powerful even compared to my old A/C converted onboard air setup. Plus the Thomas Compressor is designed and rated at continuous duty so over heating wasn't go to be a problem.
