Re: CTIS, well kind of...
Looking foward to your install,I might add a tank in the future.
You will need a big plug to go over a female connector .

Re: CTIS, well kind of...
4... How's that working out the way you have it set up with no tank..?? Just curious if you think it'll cause any issues running the compressor into a closed line without a pressure relief.. Or maybe you do have a way to let it blow off excess..
I've left mine as a portable unit for now, but replaced the hoses.. I have a 3ft HEAVY lead hose followed by a 50ft coil and then a trigger to release air into the tire with a clip on chuck...
Basic line diagram
Compressor|male disco - female disco|leader hose|male disco - female disco|coil hose|female disco - male disco|trigger|clip on
Anytime the trigger isn't pulled or the entire air chuck is off the line with the compressor running it goes up to 125psi+ pretty dang quick.. Good way to burn things up if left running like that for any length of time I'd think...
Not sure if I wanna try and put maybe a very small tank in line with all that somewhere.. Just something to keep pressure from building up to much on the line when going from tire to tire without shutting the compressor down..

Re: CTIS, well kind of...
I have a male plug at the end ,that is covered with the boot.
If I turn on compressor the plug.. POPS off and it can run.
When hose is attached(the one that comes with masterflow) it has a female on the end of the hose and the valve side is disigned to bleed out unless mscrewed into the valve.
Psi will only be as high as you let it go when filling the tire.
With a tank there would be a female on the working end like at the beach or a repair shop.(I carry a coily one like that for the beach instead of using onboard air)Also you would need a regulator.
It works well the way I have it, its a couple minutes from 18 Psi to 35 Psi. per tire.
The beach hose (or if I added a tank at 120Psi)it would be about a minute per tire.
I usually get lazy and dont airdown for light/moderate trails.
I always airdown at the beach.It not like datona beach fla(you can drive a golf cart on the beach there  ) Its soft deep thick sand on the south shore of long island.

Re: CTIS, well kind of...
You can make custom length hose with hose and fittings from Parker.
www.parker.com/hpd/literature/pdf/4281_b1.pdf
I have compressor mounted in rear passenger storage cubby and ran out to disconnect on bumper. I install pressure switch in system that shuts of compressor at 125#. I plan on installing 2 1/2 gal Viair tank to the passenger side of rear driveshalt, opposite gas tank...
Good luck...
