New air ride valves. Simple and clean.
 

I've decided to change my air ride set up. I had te accuair set up but just wanted to simplify everything. Project started to get "complicated" if you know what I mean. I started the search for a simpler but excellent quality manual valve set up. I found board member DLOE who sells and makes his DLOE valves. Saw the video and did some research and I'm sold. Ordered me 4 valves and fittings ... $240!!! Can't beat that. Here is some information from his web site and a video.

I agree... these things look awesome and I hope to use them sometime in the future.

Re: New air ride valves. Simple and clean.
 

i wish the were a bigger than 1/8" otherwise i'd be all over them! i tried emailing him but the addy given doesnt seem to work?

Re: New air ride valves. Simple and clean.
 

jmedero... can you provide me with some measurements of the switch itself?

Also have you sourced your fittings yet? Curious what you are planning on running and how much that will add to the overall length/width of the switch.

His boardname is DLOE65.

Re: New air ride valves. Simple and clean.
 

great! thank you sir!

Re: New air ride valves. Simple and clean.
 

Ok the air lines are 1/4 the exhaust is 1/8. Fittings can be had by Derek when you order your valves. I had him include all the fittings I would need. Nickel platter like the valves. At 1/4 they flow fast and the switch operation them selves are very smooth.

Hey guys, here are a few measurement pictures for you. Hope these help! The fill,dump and supply lines all have 1/8" npt ports. I can supply 1/4" tube by 1/8" npt fittings for the valves. You could run 3/8" lines if you really wanted to but it would be so bulky and kind of a pain in the butt. I dont recommend it. You really wont see any gain in speed either since the internal diameter of the threaded portion of the fitting is the same.

If you have time can you post a picture of the 4x1 fitting?

Is there enough room for the mufflers in the picture of the whole assembled setup?

Re: New air ride valves. Simple and clean.
 

My current panel cannot use the mufflers. I am working on a new panel that will have the valves in a different position and make the panel a little smaller. I also have new mufflers that have a smaller profile. ( cheaper too). I am going to update my webpage tonight with new pics and more info.

These valves work great! I am running a 200 psi pressure switch, and I was surprised at how fast they air up. DLOE is a great guy to do business with, he has helped me with advice on several aspects of my build.

Re: New air ride valves. Simple and clean.
 

I really like that 4-to-1 fitting; hopefully you can locate an alternative one that is as compact.

Re: New air ride valves. Simple and clean.
 

Updated the website a little bit, new mufflers, more pics
