Product Information

Full details

The Intercomp Ultra Deluxe Tyre Pressure Gauge is designed for drivers and racers who need accurate tire pressure readings in various situations. Its primary benefit is ensuring optimal tire performance, extending tire life, and enhancing safety through precise pressure management. A potential caveat is its specific pressure range, which may not suit all heavy-duty applications. Key features include a large, easy-to-read 4-inch Glow-In-The-Dark gauge, a convenient thumb-operated bleed button for pressure adjustments, and a 17-inch flexible hose for reaching difficult valves.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum pressure this gauge can read?

This specific model has a pressure range of 0-30 psi. Always ensure your tire pressure needs fall within this range.

How do I use the thumb-operated bleed button?

Once the gauge is connected to the tire valve, press the thumb button to release air from the tire. Hold it down to release air more quickly, or press intermittently for fine adjustments.

Is the 17-inch hose long enough for most vehicles?

The 17-inch flexible hose is designed to provide ample reach for most standard tire valves, including those in difficult-to-access locations.

How often should I check my tire pressure?

It's recommended to check tire pressure at least once a month and before long journeys. Tire pressure can fluctuate with temperature changes.

Can I use this gauge for bicycle tires?

While compatible with standard Schrader valves, the 0-30psi range and the size of the gauge might be more suited for automotive applications. It can be used for bicycles if the required pressure falls within its range.

How do I clean the gauge?

Wipe the gauge with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the gauge in water.

Does the glow-in-the-dark feature require batteries?

No, the glow-in-the-dark feature is phosphorescent and does not require batteries. It absorbs light and then emits it in the dark.

Troubleshooting

Gauge not reading pressure

Ensure the hose is securely attached to the tire valve stem, creating an airtight seal. Check for any debris obstructing the valve or the gauge's connection point.

Air leaking from the connection

Re-seat the gauge connection to the valve stem. Check the rubber seal on the gauge chuck for damage or wear. If damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Bleed button not functioning

Inspect the bleed button mechanism for debris. Gently press and release it multiple times to clear any obstruction. Ensure the internal mechanism is not damaged.

Glow-in-the-dark feature is dim

Expose the gauge face to a bright light source for several minutes to 'charge' the luminescent material. The glow intensity and duration depend on the previous light exposure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Large, easy-to-read gauge enhances usability.
  • Glow-in-the-dark feature is beneficial for low-light conditions.
  • Flexible hose and bleed button offer convenience and precision.
  • Helps maintain optimal tire performance and safety.
  • Extends tire life through proper inflation.

Cons

  • The 0-30psi range may be too low for some heavy-duty or high-pressure applications.
  • Requires manual reading and recording; no digital display or data logging.
  • Glow-in-the-dark feature relies on prior light exposure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the gauge is clean before first use.
  2. Connect the flexible hose securely to the tire valve stem. The chuck should create a good seal.

Compatibility:

This gauge is designed for standard tire valves found on most passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and light trucks. The 0-30psi range is suitable for a wide array of applications where tire pressures fall within this limit.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the gauge and hose with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the gauge in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to preserve the gauge face and materials.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the hose for cracks or damage and ensure the connection to the valve stem remains airtight.
