This high-quality 4" Air Pressure Gauge comes with a protective rubber boot and a 22" Hose with a high-quality swivel nozzle. It features an industrial-grade bleeder valve and the air chuck never leaves the valve stem. The Intercomp Fill Bleed And Read Tyre Pressure Gauge attaches directly to your air or nitrogen hose, transforming a tedious process into one smooth and easy operation. Standard features include a high-quality, 4" pressure gauge with a rubber protective boot, a 22" hose with a high-quality swivel nozzle, and an industrial-grade bleeder valve. The air chuck never leaves the valve stem. Checking and maintaining the correct pressure in your tyres can help to extend tyre life and is essential for maintaining performance and safety. Under-inflated tyres can deform and overheat, whilst over-inflated tyres can lead to poor handling on the road or track.
The Intercomp 4 Inch Fill Bleed And Read Tyre Pressure Gauge is designed for automotive enthusiasts and professionals who need to quickly and accurately check and adjust tire pressure. Its primary benefit is simplifying the tire inflation and deflation process into a single, efficient operation, ensuring optimal tire performance and longevity. A key consideration is its specific pressure range of 0-4 Bar, which may not suit all applications. This gauge features a robust 4-inch display, a flexible 22-inch hose with a swivel nozzle, and an integrated bleeder valve for precise pressure release, all protected by a durable rubber boot.

FAQs
What is the maximum pressure this gauge can read?
The Intercomp 4 Inch Fill Bleed And Read Tyre Pressure Gauge has a maximum reading of 4 Bar.
Does this gauge come with an air compressor?
No, this gauge requires a separate air or nitrogen hose connected to an air source for inflation.
How long is the hose?
The hose measures 22 inches in length.
Can I use this gauge for bicycles?
While it might technically connect, the pressure range and chuck design are optimized for automotive tires. Bicycle tire pressures can vary significantly and may require specialized gauges.
How do I clean the gauge?
Wipe the gauge with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
What does the bleeder valve do?
The industrial-grade bleeder valve allows you to release excess air from the tire, enabling precise adjustment to the desired pressure.
Is the protective boot removable?
The protective rubber boot is typically integrated for durability and protection, and is not designed to be removed.
Troubleshooting
Gauge is not reading pressure
Ensure the air chuck is securely attached to the valve stem and that the valve stem is functional. Check for any debris in the chuck or valve.
Air is leaking from the chuck
Verify the chuck is fully seated on the valve stem. Inspect the chuck seal for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Bleeder valve is stuck or not working
Gently try to operate the valve. If it remains stuck, a small amount of lubricant (suitable for rubber) might help, or professional servicing may be required.
Gauge reading seems inaccurate
Allow the gauge to acclimate to ambient temperature if it was stored in extreme conditions. Compare readings with a known accurate gauge. Ensure the valve stem is not leaking.
