Dual tire inflator valves?

[Sarge]

I am seriously thinking of adding one of the dual tire inflator kits on the dually, as airing up is a real pain. Any first hand experience with brands, or advice on what to use or stay away from? Thanks, Sarge

I have a long stem double head inflator with a built-in gauge. It's the big truck type.

Steel braided lines

I have a set of steel braided Air Valve extenders for the inside and outside wheel, that are attached to the center hub cap. You can find those at your local RV Accessory department. The only gotcha is to make sure your wheel's original valve stem is a steel one. If you have the rubber valve stems, they will get ripped right off, in a very short time. I'm speaking from experience. I had to replace the valve stem on my inside wheel with a steel one. The outside wheel (Alcoa) already comes with a metal valve stem. Hope this helps.

Thats what I have heard. Have you had any issues with wheel balance or tire wear with the extra weight on the valves?

I've used the extenders as mention by 'Luciano' and have had no problem with balance or tire wear. I still prefer the long stem double head inflator and gauge.

I have not had any problems. I'm very happy with the set up.
