FAQs
What types of valves does this pump work with?
The Faithfull High-Pressure Hand Pump features a dual-head connector that is compatible with both Schrader (standard car/bicycle) and Presta (thin road bike) valves.
What is the maximum pressure this pump can achieve?
This pump can achieve a maximum pressure of 160 psi (11 bar).
Does it come with adaptors for other inflatables?
Yes, the pump is supplied with additional adaptors suitable for inflating balls, toys, and other inflatable items.
How do I maintain the pump?
Keep the pump clean and dry. Wipe it down after use and store it in a protected area. Periodically check the hose for damage and ensure the plunger operates smoothly.
Is the pressure gauge accurate?
The pump features an analogue pressure gauge. While functional for general use, for highly precise pressure readings, a separate digital gauge might offer greater accuracy.
What is the hose length?
The pump is fitted with a generous 60cm long rubber hose.
Can this pump be used for car tires?
Yes, the Schrader valve compatibility means it can be used for car tires, though it is primarily designed for bicycle tires due to its high-pressure capability.
Troubleshooting
Pump not building pressure
Ensure the valve connector is securely sealed on the valve. Check that the hose is properly connected to the pump base. Inspect the pump's internal seals for wear or damage. Verify the analogue gauge is not stuck.
Air leaking from the connection point
Reposition the dual-head connector on the valve, ensuring it is fully seated. If the leak persists, the rubber seal within the connector may need replacement or cleaning.
Analogue gauge not working or stuck
Gently tap the gauge face. If it remains unresponsive, the internal mechanism may be damaged, and the pump may need servicing or replacement. Continue pumping by feel if necessary.
Handle is difficult to move
The pump may require lubrication. If safe to do so, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pump shaft/plunger area. Ensure no debris is obstructing the movement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Achieves very high pressures (160 psi) ideal for road bikes.
- Large cylinder and long stroke for fast inflation.
- Sturdy steel construction for durability.
- Stable footplate and comfortable handle reduce user effort.
- Includes adaptors for versatile use beyond tires.
Cons
- Analogue gauge may be less precise than digital gauges.
- Can require significant physical effort to reach maximum pressure.
- Steel body adds weight compared to some lighter models.
- Hose storage is basic (clips provided), might not be fully integrated.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unpack the pump and identify the main unit, hose, and adaptors. Attach the hose to the pump base if not already connected. Select the appropriate valve connector for your tire or inflatable and attach it securely.
Compatibility: The pump's dual-head connector is designed to work with both Schrader (standard car/bicycle) and Presta (thin road bike) valves without needing to flip any inserts. The included adaptors broaden compatibility to items with standard inflation valve types.
Care: After each use, wipe down the pump body with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the hose and valve connector are clean. Store the pump in a dry place. Periodically check the hose for cracks or damage and ensure the analogue gauge needle moves freely. If the plunger feels stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the pump's seal (refer to manual if available for specific instructions).
