[hellaSmoked]

^^ Such nice work. Love the water trap placement.

Still waiting for pics of Leah's setup...

[nothingspecial]

sorry if this is a newbie question, but can hardlines be done on valve blocks? more specifically, on the Accuair unit?

Yes, I think all the set ups I posted, use manifolds of some sort.

Thats nuthin-if your shellin for air, just unload a bit more and do it right.

[Kevin@AAC]

TTT

[suka4thong]

wat do you guys use to bling out those coppers?

[rockin16v]

3M pads will do the trick.

or sandpaper 500 grit and up

[Swoops]

or simply just metal polish and a rag

[goonies!]

damn all these ballin hardline set ups make me rethink my 4 valve setup.

4 valves 8, dosnt really matter. You can still add a little interest. Keep it simple thats my best advise.

Leah's hardlines, done by the one and only.....Swoops.

[Oscar33]

^ badass

[HSTuning]

Pretty cool that hardlines are making it into the air ride world. I spent probably an hour on Bent Custom's website earlier this year before I went ahead and did 99% of my bay lines in SS. I'm enjoying seeing these setups.

[J.Owen]

I have hard lines in my set-up similar to the set-up above, but it was my first attempt and not the prettiest. Plan to redo it all over the winter.

Thanks to swoops for driving out to staten island!

i gotta question tho...if u use copper piping wouldn't it be more of a higher chance to freeze in the winter time??

it'll only freeze if theres water in it as would a nylon line. there shouldnt be water in there if you drain the watertrap regularly and if you live in a harsher winter climate then airbrake antifreeze always helps

quick question, hows it sealing of copper pipe into ptc bulkhead, do you get good seal?

thanks bud. copper seals exactly the same into ptc as the nylon, as long as its the same o.d. and of course you have to make sure the copper isnt egged.
