I haven’t used it yet. Currently getting the cylinder filled with Nitrogen. I was told it cost about $19 to fill. Cylinder tank, valves, and hoses seem to be of good quality. Can’t wait to try it out on my airplane tires. |

When the maintenance shop closed down at the airport where the King Air I manage and fly is based, I needed a solution to tire servicing. So, I started shopping for an nitrogen cylinder, regulators, inflator, etc. and could have pieced a servicing kit together, literally from Amazon, and for less money than this kit from Aircraft Spruce would cost. However, one of the main problems was finding a regulator with gauges that read low pressures needed for precise pressures for aircraft tires. Most of the gauges were calibrated in 40 PSI increments. When I found this kit at Aircraft Spruce, I felt confident that it was best fitted to servicing aircraft tires accurately and high quality gauges and regulator, even though I think it is over-priced. The nitrogen cylinder is all DOT compliant, but unfilled of course. The regulator and gauges seem to be good quality. The gauges are marked in small increments good for precise inflation. PSI is marked in Red on the two regulator gauges. The inflator looked OK except that pressure release button on the side of it looked a bit odd. Also, the inflator pressure gauge is marked with PSI in black, instead of Red as is on the regulator gauges. I think that inconsistency in color markings is interesting. I wonder if Gen Tec even noticed that. That lack of color matching is only of concern to me in that it is a crack in the armor of minimizing human factor errors. That caused my rating to drop a 4, instead of a 5. When I received it I went to the local gas distributor and exchanged the new 20 cubic ft. cylinder with a used, refilled one (exchange is the way they do it here.) for only $14.00. Then I went to the airport to service my obviously low nose tire. The inflator worked fine, but the pressure gauge would not retain and show the actual tire pressure. Instead the nitrogen in the tire was released through that odd looking pressure release button. That was because that pressure release valve had fallen apart. The button had slipped off the valve, the valve had fallen into the inside of the inflator, leaving a free path for the nitrogen to escape from the tire. When I got back home, I found the release valve button and spring in the shipping box. I disassembled the inflator and retrieved the valve from inside it and then reassembled the valve (it is a Mickey Mouse assembly) and put the inflator back together and everything now works as it should. I probably voided the warranty on the inflator by taking it apart, but so be it. I dont have a high degree of confidence in that inflator, and will not be surprised if that release valve comes apart again. For all that, the best rating I can give is a 3. Even though I believe that it will serve my needs. I think Genstar Technologies Company could do a better job of selecting components for this kit. Maybe Aircraft Spruce should consider this when they market the GenTec product. |
Does this set up have both an input and output regulator and what are the max PSI rating of the regulators?
Regarding part number 12-01587. Yes, it does have both input and output. PSI depends on the hose, max is 350-400.
About Part # 12-01587 1) What is the pressure to which the tank is normally filled? The catalog page says high pressure but that's pretty vague. 2) What is the maximum output of the secondary regulator? I need to go to about 100 psi.
The tank is normally filled between 2,000 psi - 2,500 psi. The secondary regulator is actually a tire gauge. The gauge will only read up to 175psi.
How do you refill the nitrogen tank?
Per the supplier: You need to take the tank to a gas distributor and they will fill it for you or exchange a full tank for your empty tank.
What are the dimensions of each size of bottle? 40cu and 20cu
The dimensions for Part # 12-01586, the 20cu, are 18"H X 5" W.
Part # 12-01587, the 40cu, dimensions are 21"H X 8"W.
What sort of stand comes with the 40cu tank? One on wheels? Carrying stand?
This comes with a black carrying stand that has a handle. It is not on wheels.
What is in the accessory kit?
Contents of the Accessory Kit (12-01588): Pressure Regulator, Tire fill with reset-able pressure gauge, Six (6') high pressure hose.
How high does the tire fill pressure gauge go?
Per the supplier, the max working pressure is 160 psi.
If the gauges and hose are in the accessory kit, what are the components of the system, part # 12-01586? Seems like just the tank.
Here are the contents of the part # 12-01586: blow gun hose 6', tire inflation gauge, whip end hose 12", single stage regulator, cylinder nitrogen 20 Cu Ft, CYL for 20 Cu Ft nitrogen tank, manual.
I need to be able to top off the pressure on the tires of a Cessna Citation Ultra every couple of weeks. The max tire pressure is 135 PSI. Will this system fill the tires on a jet up to 135 psi?
Yes, this will fill up the tires to 135psi with no problem. The max pressure this can fill up to is 350psi to 400psi.
What do I need to buy to have a complete setup to fill the tires on my citation V? Do I need to buy the accessory kit as well? I was looking at the 12-01587 P/N.
You will only need to fill the tank up with nitrogen as this will already come with the fitting to connect to your tires.
Does this item come filled with nitrogen? Or when shipped is the bottle empty and you have to fill it before first use?
The bottle will be empty. The end user will need to get the bottle filled before use.
How much does the 20 cu complete system weigh? 40 cu?
Part # 12-01586 weighs 27lbs and Part # 12-01587 weighs 45lbs.
Can this be connected to the BOGERT AVIATION 15X STRUT SERVICE TOOL?
This is for tire inflation only, not for strut service.
Can this system be used for automobile tire filling? Do aircraft tires have the same valve stem as an automobile i.e. Different size?
Yes, the filler valve stem is the same size.
