Ok a few questions for you air ride guys, I am using stainless/ptfe flexi leader lines to my bags and they go into the bottom of the bag. My bags at the top are hard mounted to my chassis and I want to clean up the system and reduce connections.

could I flip the bag and just run a hard line to the top of the bag? or is this going to cause problems with water filling the bag in time and not draining away? I do have a filter/water trap on my setup between compressor and tank but I doubt if all the water is taken out completely.

thanks

Rob

Almost all the setups I've seen, the air fitting is on top. The few exceptions are those that have special mounting circumstances. The proper place for a water trap is between the tank and valves. Compressed air is hot. When it cools, it condenses (condensation/water) in the tank. A water trap between comp and tank cant stop that.
