Question:
I see that the Tinch air fitting is an item that is often purchased with this kit. Im wondering if that is a good/better way to inflate these. That way theres just one valve and the pressure is always equal? What are the pros/cons of using a T fitting with just one fill valve?

Expert Reply:
I think it's by far the better way to inflate the bags as there's really no need (under most circumstances) to have the bags inflated to different PSIs so having one valve that makes sure that they are always inflated to the same pressure is the way to go. For a union tee you'd want the # F3025-1.
I actually wonder all the time why the union tee just isn't included.
