Dump Valve Rebuild?
Pete, many owners use the onboard tanks to contain the aux
aircompressor charge. With that arangement you can eliminate the aux
air tank. Some OEM BB tanks on the bus will not drain back to the
other tanks in an effort to keep Airbrakes charged longer if an
appliance like the sewer Air valve fails and leaks air.

To keep from pressurizing the brakes and bag tank you may be able to
follow the pressure line from the sewer dump valve to the onboard
isolated tank. The Tank should have a plug that can be removed and
hard pipe the tank to an accessable shrader valve or a female
quickcoupler( like you have on air tools).

It sound as if you hooked the Microphor toilet to the new aux
aircompressor. you can also attach the dump valves to the aux
compressor tank and hardpipe the auxcompressor tank to one of the air
outlet fittings from the DD compressor. no need to run the aux
compressor while on the road.

If you are running the aux compressor with the inverter this may
also be a big draw on batteries.

Terry- let me know how you plumb in your aux air compressor. It takes me forever
to build air and I would like to be able to leave sooner then before- especially
if this river rises too fast on spring thaw.

I don't have air valves Pete. I just mentioned them so Keith could
consider them as an option. I know there are electric valves out there
too. Believe they are 12 volt.

I don't see why you can't power your waste valves from your aux air
system if your aux compressor is plumbed into your coach air system?
Should be an easy modification for your coach I think.

That's what most people are doing with an aux compressor anyway so you
don't have to fire up that big diesel to have air to leave a campground
or to dump your holding tanks.

I have an aux compressor that I will plumb into my coach air system so I
won't kill any neighbors on a cold Detroit start up.

Dump Valve Rebuild?
The aux compressor is a 12v and appears to be the same one that's
listed as an option on the Microphor web site. The compressor doesn't
kick on very often since it takes a lot of flushes to get from 90PSI
down to 65 PSI when the compressor comes on. It appears to hold
pressure fairly well so it doesn't kick on in semi-storage except
every few days. (Coach in front of the house.)

I don't know if there's any air lines currently connected between the
aux tank and the main air system. Even if the aux compressor went on
while underway, I doubt I'd be aware of it. It's pretty quiet. I've
occasionally heard it from outside the coach while working on other
stuff.

Sounds like you have an electric-only Microphor (as I do) instead of one of the
ones with air assist?

Dump Valve Rebuild?
When I have no air pressure and need to dump, I am able to use the
air valves manually. It's a little inconvenient but I don't have the
need to do that very often so no big deal.

With the engine running, the air from the compressor goes to the air-
dryer then to the tanks. With an auxiliary compressor, is there a
need to be concerned about filling the tanks without going through
the air-dryer?

Will do Ernie. I bought a Senco dual tank model for the Bird. Nice &
small, 120 volt.

Kellie won't let me start the Detroit until I go outside & warn anyone
within 50 yards or so. This should solve that problem.

Dump Valve Rebuild?
Robert, if you plumb into the system at your Schrader valve hookup
location (mine is in the rear engine compartment), you are going to be
feeding the aux air into the main system before the air dryer so that's
covered.

Dump Valve Rebuild?
Pete,
I may be chiming in late on this thread. Our coach has two auxiliary
compressors. A 12V auxiliary compressor for the toilet, and a 120V
auxiliary compressor to do the same thing as the 8V92 engine compressor.
I'm sure this can be added to your coach. The 120V airs up the entire
coach system, toilet excluded and that will be changed in the future,
another project, and I can dump the holding tanks once aired up and
never start the 8V92.
