I just picked up a press from a guy I know but cant get ahold of him b/c he is down in Chile riding for a few weeks (lucky dude!). Anways does anyone have insight on how I'm to connect these hoses to the air compressor line? Insight and wisdom will be great! Thanks!

Press to air compressor hook up?

I assume the hoses already have some sort of fitting on them. Then it's just a matter of getting a hose with a large enough diameter to fit over the fitting and secure it with a hose clamp. If the hose diameter is a bit to small you can always heat the hose end a bit and force it onto the fitting. This will ensure a tight seal.
If your hoses don't have fittings on them, I'd recommend following this method: http://www.happymonkeysnowboards.com/Mo ... onnections

I have difficult to picture how car tire valves can be installed on the fire hose. Pictures?chrismp wrote:I have that setup with the car valves. In the meantime i took out the valves and just use the stems hooked up directly to the chimompressor with hoses that fit over the stems.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
