Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Threadlock Kit is designed for dedicated cyclists who use the Topeak JoeBlow floor pump series and seek a more reliable, secure connection to their tire valves. This CNC-machined aluminum upgrade replaces standard pump heads to provide a direct threaded interface, ensuring an airtight seal every time you inflate. While it offers superior durability and performance compared to plastic alternatives, users should be aware that it requires manual threading onto the valve stem rather than a quick-cam lever action.

Does this kit work with all JoeBlow pumps?
It is designed specifically for the Topeak JoeBlow series and fits most standard rubber pump hoses.

Can I use this on both Presta and Schrader valves?
The Threadlock Kit is designed to interface with valve threads directly, ensuring a secure hold for your specific valve type.

Troubleshooting
Air is leaking during inflation.
Ensure the head is threaded fully onto the valve stem. Check that the hose connection at the base of the head is tight.
Difficult to thread onto valve.
Check the valve core for debris or bent threads. Ensure you are not cross-threading the unit onto the stem.
Unit feels loose on the hose.
Re-tighten the hose clamp or collar to ensure a secure, airtight seal between the hose and the pump head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the TSL-01 is straightforward: simply unscrew your existing pump head from the rubber hose, slide on the threaded collar, and secure the Threadlock unit firmly. Ensure the hose clamp is tightened well to prevent leaks. The kit is specifically engineered for the Topeak JoeBlow series but is compatible with most standard cycling floor pump hoses. To maintain the unit, occasionally check the threads for debris and wipe the aluminum body with a damp cloth. Avoid overtightening the unit onto delicate valve stems to prevent stripping the threads.
