FAQs

What is the maximum pressure this connector can handle?

The Laser Tools Tyre Valve Connector - 9368 has a maximum operating pressure of 230psi (16 bar).

What type of thread does this connector have?

It features a 1/4" BSP thread.

Is this connector suitable for all tyre inflation systems?

It is suitable for systems with a compatible 1/4" BSP fitting. Always check your existing equipment's thread size before purchase.

What does 'closed-end type connector' mean?

A closed-end connector means that when not attached to a valve, the air passage is sealed, preventing air from escaping from the hose until connected to a tyre valve.

Can I use this to deflate a tyre?

This connector is designed primarily for inflation and pressure checking. It does not have a deflation mechanism.

What material is the connection head made from?

The connection head is made from durable brass.

How long is the connector?

The overall length of the connector is 230mm.

Troubleshooting

Air leaks from the connection point.

Ensure the 1/4" BSP thread is securely tightened onto the airline or gauge. Check the O-ring or sealing surface on the male fitting for wear or damage and replace if necessary.

Connector does not attach to the airline.

Verify that your airline or gauge has a 1/4" BSP male thread. This connector has a 1/4" BSP female thread. If your airline has a different thread size (e.g., NPT), an adapter may be required.

Pressure reading appears inaccurate after connecting.

Ensure the closed-end connector is fully engaged with the valve stem. Check that the connected gauge is functioning correctly and calibrated. Remove and reattach the connector to ensure a proper seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable brass construction ensures longevity.
  • Closed-end connector prevents air loss for efficient inflation.
  • Comfortable soft grip handle for ease of use.
  • High maximum operating pressure suits demanding tasks.
  • Standard thread size offers broad compatibility.

Cons

  • May not be compatible with all gauge systems due to specific thread type.
  • Requires a compatible airline source for operation.
  • Primarily designed as a replacement head, not a standalone gauge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Laser Tools Tyre Valve Connector - 9368, simply thread it onto your existing air hose or gauge that features a compatible 1/4" BSP male fitting. Ensure the connection is hand-tight, and then check for any leaks once air pressure is applied.

Compatibility: This connector is designed with a 1/4" BSP thread, which is a common standard in many regions. It is intended for use with airline gauges and compressors that utilize this thread size. The closed-end connector is suitable for inflating tyres and checking pressure.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly inspect the connector for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the brass head with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the soft grip handle. Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion.
