    Hi . Thank you for putting out this video! (I am also a newbie). I would like to install a VIAIR pump in a 5th wheel trailer. My rig has 2 12V batteries connected in parallel and, of course, no ignition switch. I plan to mount the pump close to my batteries and I'm entertaining the thought of connecting it directly to the batteries - of course using the fuse and Relay as indicated by the wiring diagram. Because there is no ignition circuit, I don't know how to go about connecting the on/off switch. Can you suggest a safe way to connect the switch? Thanks!

    • @UniversalAir

      I would do some type of on/off switch so it doesn't kill the batteries if you have a small leak. Just use the switch as a make-shift "ignition" switch

Also im running single pump what gauge wire do i need if my cars 22ft (classic car) and what size fuse?

    • @UniversalAir

      Yes you would want to fuse the compressors separately. Depending on which compressor your running (they have different amp draws), wire type (aluminum vs copper), quality of wire etc would all effect the "proper" size. Personally I would run an 8 awg wire.

    • @UniversalAir

      Problem with the ac compressors is refrigerant has oil to lubricant the compressor. If you try to use it for air it will require good maintenance so it doesn't blow up. It will pump the oil out of the compressor and have to be replenished. Will also need to remove the oil or it will be exhausted from your valves

    • @UniversalAir
      @UniversalAir 2 месяца назад

      if your adding a second compressor to an existing system, you can either bump up your wiring to a larger gauge and run both compressors off the solenoid (like shown in the video). Another option is to just run another wire back and individually relay them. If you have an Airlift 3P/H system they do run a negative trigger for the second compressor which you can wire up to another relay (instead of grounding other post, it would go to positive since the controller provides the ground). To be honest, I would just pickup the harness that airlift made as its prewired and setup for the negative trigger. They stage the compressors turning them on one at a time to limit the amperage spike of both turning on at the same time. www.universalair.com/shop/al-27703-airlift-3h-3p-2nd-compressor-harness-791?search=2nd+compressor&order=name+asc#attr=

    Watch out ofr that style of fuse. The larger glass fuses like those frequently have a bad solder join to one of the caps and will look fine, but only pass a small amount of voltage. Strongly suggest using blade fuses, mini blade fuses or a quality breaker.

    • @UniversalAir
      @UniversalAir 2 месяца назад

      Sorry for the delay. 90 amps, 20 feet away is a big ask. If that's the running current, I would absolutely not run that. Startup current is substantially higher. Online calculator says for 90 amps you should be running 1 awg for copper and 2/0 for aluminum for a 5% voltage drop. If its been hooked up that way, use the multimeter to measure how much voltage you have at the compressors while they are running. I would suspect that wire will be getting hot, or their amperage rating might be inflated.

      Adding protection to the line isn't a bad idea. Typically its not necessary except if you have to run the line though high heat areas or across sharp edges. Compression fittings (Ferrule) are a permanent type of fitting, however, they are prone to improper installation (typically overtightening them), but when used properly they do seal very good. Personally I prefer a good high quality PTC fitting where servicing is easier and can re-use without cutting the hose and replacing the ferrule.
