Product Information

Full details

This Lisle Tire Deflator (19860) is designed for vehicle owners who need to quickly and safely deflate tires, especially those equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). Its primary benefit is allowing rapid air release without removing the valve core, thus preventing potential damage to sensitive TPMS sensors. A minor caveat is that it functions as a replacement valve cap, so keeping track of the original cap is advisable.

FAQs

How does this deflator prevent TPMS damage?

It deflates the tire by automatically depressing the valve core pin without requiring the removal of the valve core itself. This prevents the risk of dropping or damaging the sensitive TPMS sensor attached to the valve stem.

Can I use this on all types of tires?

This deflator is designed for standard-sized valve stems found on most cars and light trucks, including those with TPMS. It is not intended for heavy-duty truck or specialty valve stems.

How quickly does it deflate a tire?

The large openings allow for quick and efficient air release, significantly faster than manually removing the valve core. The exact speed depends on the tire's initial pressure.

Do I need a separate tool to remove the valve core?

No, the Lisle Tire Deflator (19860) is designed to function without removing the valve core, making a separate valve core removal tool unnecessary for deflation.

What should I do after deflating the tire?

Once the desired tire pressure is reached, remove the deflator and immediately replace it with your vehicle's standard valve cap to prevent dirt and moisture from entering the valve stem.

Is this tool marked for tire rotation?

The product description mentions 'Marked tools' which can facilitate easy tire rotation. This typically means the tool itself might have markings or can be used in conjunction with marking tires for rotation purposes.

Troubleshooting

Tire is not deflating

Ensure the deflator is screwed on completely and the internal pin is being depressed. Check that the valve stem is not obstructed.

Air is leaking around the deflator

Remove the deflator and inspect the threads on both the deflator and the valve stem for damage or debris. Ensure it is screwed on straight.

Deflator seems stuck on the valve stem

Gently try to unscrew it. If it's very tight, try applying a small amount of penetrating lubricant around the threads (ensure it doesn't enter the valve core itself) and wait a few minutes before attempting removal again.
