what size is the air hose line on SA motortrike kits ?? i need fittings

I'm ordering new air bags from airbagit and I need to know what size the air line is. the fitting is evidently a 1/8" NPT, but I dont know the air line size. Anyone ?

Cheers

1/8" air line all the way through... Unless someone replaced it with something of a different size (which almost never happens).

Well, that's odd. their website doesn't show a 1/8" NPT elbow for a 1/8" hose. smallest looks like a 1/4" hose. take a look at this...

If I had to make a wild guess, I'd say their stuff is used mostly for air ride cars & trucks which use 1/4 & up air lines (depending on application). A lot of their stuff is compression style which makes sense considering what it's used for primarily.



May check out airlift since they make the majority of the airlift stuff used by MT. They might have the fittings in the right size.

are the fittings push in type or compression ?
