    My EZ Flate MOAB dual compressor. Along with pre-configured hose system, the Hyperflex Series. Easy to set digital display. Deflates all 4 tires at once. To a specified PSI.

    When your adventure comes to an end and the pavement looms. Break out the MOAB Compressor. Connect it to your battery. Link up the Hyperflex Hose System. Again set your specified PSI and turn it on. All 4 tires inflate simultaneously. To the same proper preset PSI.

    I've never timed it but I'm sure. I could go from 38PSI to 15PSI. Then back up to 38PSI from 15PSI. All well within 10mins.

    It's not "on-board air," but it's pretty dang efficient.

    So a couple questions as this appears to be a alternative to the Morrflate. I have a Maxi Trac compressor already that appears to be the same as this compressor. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/BK_MTWM10215C
    1.) Do you know if that is the case or do you know if the outlets are the same?
    2.) If they aren't the same, do you off some sort of adapter?
    3.) I'm reading that this comes with the digital air gauge, is that right?

    If so, seems like a bit cheaper than the Morrflate assuming I don't have to buy an adapter for my Maxi Trac compressor.

    All these dual compressors are the same and possibly come from the same factory oversea. They're just rebranded. If you're willing to pay for it you can order directly from China and have your name/logo printed on the compressor. Find one at the best price and go with it. The supplied air hose that comes w/ these compressors (Napa) are crap. I tossed mine in the trash. Built my own 4way deflate/inflate hose. I don't like the 4way deflate/inflate hose system that these manufacturer sells because you can't detach the hose from the 3-way manifold. I built mine so that it can quickly be attached/detached from the manifold.

    Good point, I was wondering how you would deal with one tire that is lower than the others if they are all hooked up at the same time.

    The compressor came with a single hose. For dealing with one tire.

    I agree with this completely. A buddy has the MorrFlate. If they aren't exactly the same. They sure are close.

    @Mags how does the multi hose actually work? If one tire is say 2 psi different for what ever reason, then I hook up all 4 tires, do I then set the gauge for what I want? Does the gauge just read, and does the tire that’s off by 2 psi stay off or is it equalized based on the gauge?

    Spare Parts, if you hook up all 4 tires. the compressor runs till they all hit. Your preset PSI.



    Same goes for deflating. Regardless what PSI each tirecstsrts at. When deflating all 4 tires. Regardless of where they start they'll deflate to the same PSI.

    @Mags Please explain what mechanism is used to "specify" a preset psi. Is there a hidden dial on the compressor? Perhaps that digital gauge has a unique and equally well hidden valve system? Strange that theres no mention of this functionality on their website.

    *For the curious, The system works as an open loop. All tires connected become one pressure through equilibrium. Be it 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6(trailers?) tires. If one were to buy(super easy to make your own) something like this there isn't a need to buy or carry an additional single hose. Since tires that are not hooked to the loop will not be pressurized. Simply don't hook up the other tires and inflate the single. There are also other companies that make manifolds with quick disconnects, which allows for much more usability and less headaches from mutually connected, dual sided lines. One of the biggest advantages of a system like this is a scenario of compressor failure and offset pressure in a tire or tires. Hook up all four tires to your spare(would need an extension for this though) and they will steal pressure from the spare & equalize. Not ideal, but handy.

    Ya got me, I'M MISTAKEN. I thought there was up/down arrows. On the face of the digital gauge. In order to set the PSI. Actually only two buttons. An "ON" button and a "UNIT" button. No way to preset the PSI.

    Good catch. Sorry for the bad intel...
