Comparing the Readout and Tire-Valve Connection
I worked underneath the passenger-seat area on the heater intake, exhaust and fuel-system mounts.
The black underbody coating recorded in my notes was Fluid Film Black.
I recorded how cramped and tiring the working position became while reaching the mounting points.

My Takeaway from This Job
The underbody photos record a separate access-intensive job on the van. In this inflator group, AstroAI and JACO use digital displays, while Milton uses a mechanical readout and dual-head chuck; the display and chuck arrangement are separate features.

Connection
Compressor-fed inflator
The AstroAI 250PSI-M1 combines a digital pressure display, inflating trigger and air-release control. It connects to a compressor rather than generating compressed air itself. The original manual identifies the hose, tire chucks and quarter-inch NPT connection, and explains the display controls. It also lists PSI, bar, kPa and kg/cm² as selectable units. For a van compressor setup, the gauge, hose reach and tire-valve connection are separate parts of the job. Keeping the operating manual with the gauge reference makes the controls easier to find when organizing tire-inflation equipment.
This compressor-fed inflator combines a trigger valve with a mechanical pressure gauge. A short hose ends in a dual-head air chuck for reaching tire valves.
