Approx. how many Lbs of air can the air outlet (chuck) in 1st bay deliver to a tire?

Good afternoon,

The pounds of pressure can never be more than you have in your air system. We usually run the bus with the compressor maintaining around 110 pounds of pressure. Please remember that as the tire is inflated the pressure in the system will go down until it reaches a point where the governor will allow the compressor to kick in again. Also, as the pressure gradient decreases relative to the tire the cfm will also decrease.

Hope this helps.

Unless you use an air-doubler.

These devices trade off CFM for pressure. (NFI).
