Schrader Valve question - Marv & Jean - 03-17-2008 05:36 If you are using the Schrader valve to air up does the pop off work when the coach is up to pressure? Thanks Marv 2004 M380 Ocean Shores, WA Schrader Valve question - Gregory OConnor - 03-17-2008 06:18 Marv, You bring up a good point. the big protection is to set the auxilary cut off regulator on your electric tank to give no more than 110 or 120psi. pop off valves hang open so they are not used in the brake system to regulate. regulating the bus system pressure is a function of the detroit compressor ability and regulated output. you are correct in bring up the point that aux compressor pumping has not the design feature. there may be a popoff on the bus to keep the tank from exploding but a line may go first. The popoff on the aux tank may work to cause realtime issues if it blows open while on the road and hardwired to the brake lines. Isolating it as you do with a schrader is a good idea. If I was to have a dot inspection of my bus, any modification like a hardwire to a non dot approved appliance ( like an electric compressor or un isolated quick coupler etc would prompt a red tag flatbed tow.
