Product Information
Full details
The Ring Automotive RFP20 is a robust, high-performance double barrel foot pump designed for vehicle owners, cyclists, and sports enthusiasts who need a reliable way to maintain optimal tire and equipment pressure. Its key benefit lies in the efficient double barrel mechanism, which provides fast inflation with minimal physical exertion, making it an essential tool for roadside emergencies or routine maintenance. However, users should note that as a manual foot-operated device, it requires more physical engagement compared to electric compressors, making it best suited for quick top-ups rather than complete inflation from flat.

FAQs
Can I use this pump for car tires?
Yes, the RFP20 is designed to handle car tires, though it is best suited for topping up pressure rather than full inflation from zero.
Does it work with different types of valves?
The pump is designed to be compatible with standard vehicle and bicycle valves; ensure the thumb-lock is adjusted correctly for a tight seal.
How accurate is the analogue gauge?
The gauge provides a reliable visual reference for standard tire maintenance; for professional racing or high-precision needs, cross-reference with a calibrated gauge.
What is the primary benefit of the double barrel design?
The double barrel design moves a larger volume of air with each stroke, making the inflation process faster and less physically demanding than single-barrel models.
Is it safe to leave in a hot car?
While the materials are durable, it is best to store the pump in a storage bag or shaded area within the vehicle to protect the gauge and seals from extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Pump fails to register pressure
Ensure the thumb-lock connector is pushed fully onto the valve stem and the lever is in the locked position.
Air is leaking from the connection
Check the rubber seal inside the connector for debris or damage and ensure the valve stem is not bent.
Difficulty pushing the pedal down
Ensure the tire valve is not blocked and check that the pump is not being used to exceed the recommended pressure capacity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficient double-barrel pumping action
- Precise analogue pressure gauge for accuracy
- Sturdy construction for long-term durability
- Simple thumb-lock valve attachment
- Lightweight and highly portable
Cons
- Requires manual physical effort
- Slower than electric motor-driven compressors
- Analogue gauge may lack the extreme precision of digital sensors
- Manual pumping can be tiring for large volume inflation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the RFP20 is straightforward. Ensure the pump is unfolded and placed on a level surface. Attach the nozzle to the tire or ball valve and press down on the thumb-lock lever to secure it. To maintain the pump's longevity, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture, which helps prevent internal corrosion. Periodically inspect the rubber tubing for any signs of cracking or wear. Keeping the connection point clean of debris will ensure the thumb-lock maintains a leak-free seal every time.
