Product Information

Full details

This tyre valve inflator connector is designed for commercial vehicle mechanics and fleet managers needing to efficiently inflate twin wheel assemblies. Its key benefit is providing easy access to both inner and outer valves, enabling quick and accurate tyre pressure checks and adjustments. A potential caveat is its specific application for standard bore tyre valves, requiring confirmation of compatibility.

FAQs

What type of tyre valves is this connector compatible with?

This connector is designed for standard bore tyre valves commonly found on commercial vehicles with twin wheel assemblies.

What is the air inlet size?

The air inlet is a 1/4" BSP female thread, which is a standard size for most air hoses and compressors.

Can I use this connector with any air compressor?

Yes, as long as your air compressor or air line has a compatible 1/4" BSP male thread fitting for the hose, and provides air pressure suitable for tyre inflation.

What is the purpose of the red rubber handle?

The red rubber handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, making it easier to attach, detach, and maneuver the connector, especially in greasy or wet conditions.

How does the 'Hold On' feature work?

The 'Hold On' feature means the connector remains securely attached to the tyre valves once clipped on, allowing for hands-free inflation and pressure monitoring.

Is this a closed-end or open-end connector?

This is a closed-end connector when connected to the air supply, meaning air only flows when the clips are attached to the valves. It also has an open connection point for use with tyre inflation gauges.

What is the overall length of the connector?

The overall length of the PCL Short Twin Hold On connector is approximately 150mm.

Troubleshooting

Air leaks from the connector when attached to valves.

Ensure the clips are firmly seated on both valves and that the valves themselves are in good condition. Check for debris around the valve stems or connector clips.

No air is passing through the connector.

Verify that the air supply is connected and turned on. Check that the air inlet is securely connected to the air hose. Ensure the non-return valve is not obstructed.

Connector is difficult to attach or remove.

Check for any damage or deformation on the clips. Ensure the tyre valves are standard bore. Clean any debris from the valves and clips.
