Tyre Valve Adapters

[Marc]

I have a tyre inflator that I can plug into the car's cigarette lighter socket (this is to inflate the tyres on my chair). The issue is that the inflator screws onto the valve on the tyre but, when i go to remove it, a lot of the air escapes before I've completely unscrewed it. With my old bike pump, there was a lever on it that you pushed down to lock it down and just flipped it back up to release it.

My question is, is there an adapter that the inflator can screw into that will allow it to lock onto the tyre valve as above? I've tried searching but not having much luck.

Thanks, hope that all makes sense.

Could you take the old lever bit and fit it in place of the screwy bit on the new pump? Mrs Nod's 'leccy pump has the screw thingy but we can both do the unscrewing bit fast enough to reduce the leakage to a minimum. Another trick would be to go a few lb/in^2 over with the pump and deflate to the correct pressure afterwards using a separate pressure gauge.

No, compleely different type of pump.

Sadly not with my fingers

Inflator only goes to a maximum of 120psi so not enough to play with unfortunately

Was hoping there would be an adapter you could just screw onto.

Thought it was when I clicked the link but sadly not. The inflator needs to screw on whereas the one in the link looks like one where you'd push it on (like a hosepipe)

This is the inflator btw

Female or male screw type on compressor?

Inflator over tyre valve so guessing female?

Possibly?

Nah, forget that, just had a look on another site with better detail.

That's an extension and still screws on unfortunately, need one with a lever to lock onto the valve.

Probably easier just getting a new pump like this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zeepin-Flashlight-Portable-Compressors-Compressor/dp/B07861G47K

Not that long ago I bought this one, a bit reluctant to write off £40.

May be worth ringing these guys and seeing if it’s suitable?

Assuming your chair has Schrader valves rather than presta?

Yes they're schrader valves but that still looks like it screws on or am I missing something?


Edit: forget that, think I just twigged.

I think that may be the one, thanks Mark

Or replace the current end with one of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Foot-pump-Repair-Thumb-Lock/dp/B004FMVDXC

THIS one looks like it could be ideal - looks easy to clip on and off the valve, even with reduced mobility.

Sorry, meant to update this thread. I bought the one Mark linked to above.
