I need a quick fix to air up someones truck so they can drive it to the shop. What do I need to do so I can air it up with a shop compressor? I was looking at schrader valves but it doesn't make much sense. Heres an example of what I'm trying to do.

I use schraeder valves. It works great.

On the other end of the schraeder valve screw in a quick disconnect for the shop compressor, good to go

ive always just put a female quick disconnect on the truck and a ball valve with a male quick disconnect on each side so then you can connect the shop to one side and the truck to the other side and open the ball valve and air it up, ive used shcraeder valves too they just seem like they take forever

I use the air tool disconnects screwed into a ball valve as well, they work the best.

yeah, shradders are slow as hell. a couple shop fittings and some ball valves is nice. still gives you speed control too.

i like the shradders cause there so much easier 2 hide and dont have 2 worry bout inlet nor outlet pressure nor the speed inflow rates
