Kraken Air system, ARB Twin with Pressure Control under passenger seat

[yokramer]

Guys: if I want to inflate all four tires to 33 lbs, but then have my rear two go to 35, do I just unhook the front two tires at 33 and leave the back two plugged in? Or does this system just blow air out of each hose all of the time? Is there a closure valve on each hose end of are they “normally closed” until hooked to a tire? I guess the same question would hold true to inflate one tire on a friend’s vehicle. Thanks for the info!

Nope just unplug the fronts from the valve stem and put the extra in the rear you want. The only time you will need to plug anything is if youre only using one side you have to plug the output where you would normally plug in the other sides hoses and the system (if its a good one) should come with a plug.

It doesn't come with a plug. You connect both sides and use whatever portions make sense.

Interesting, the Innovative AT one I got comes with a plug so you can just do one side if needed. Has come in handy a few times for airing other vehicles up/down

Nope, but I would have probably "misplaced" it by now if it had come with one.

Note that it doesn't include a pressure valve either. I'm probably going to add one since my TPMS is no longer reliable when airing up. I'm fine as long as one works, but every once in a while I have 0 of 4 working.

Yea the dash is hella unreliable when filling back up. And hearing all this I even more recommend the Innovate one.

As for losing the plug, I leave it in my center console with other things I dont want to lose and Ive been lucky so far its still there lol

Also you can just buy "the black plug" which should work fine with the kraken unit too

It seems like an extra / unneeded piece since I can just plug the lines in. I'm not losing those!

My kraken came with a red plug, or are you not talking about the kraken?

Maybe it did and I didn't realize what it was?

So you can use one single hose at a time (so they are normally closed connectors), but you have to connect both sides of the vehicle to make that work? Am I saying that correctly?

Yep, except that it apparently came with a plug and I just didn't realize it. I'm guessing it's in the bag.

Kraken now ships with two plugs. I leave them in the ports so I don’t get dirt and crap in the fittings when not in use.
