Tyre Inflating Gun & Gauge | PSI & BAR

The Tyre Inflating Gun & Gauge is a robust and indispensable tool for ensuring optimal tyre pressure in vehicles. This unit combines an air inflation gun with an integrated pressure gauge, allowing users to quickly inflate tyres while simultaneously monitoring the pressure. The clear, easy-to-read gauge provides measurements in both PSI and BAR, catering to various regional standards. Its ergonomic design and durable construction make it suitable for regular use in garages, workshops, or for home vehicle maintenance, helping to improve fuel efficiency, extend tyre life, and enhance driving safety.

Tyre Inflating Gun & Gauge | PSI & BAR Benefits and Features

• Dual Measurement Units: Gauge displays pressure in both PSI and BAR, offering versatility and convenience for different users and vehicle specifications.
• Accurate Pressure Reading: Allows for precise inflation, ensuring tyres are at their optimal pressure for safety and performance.
• Integrated Design: Combines inflation and measurement into a single tool, streamlining the tyre maintenance process.
• Easy to Use: Features a pistol-grip handle and a trigger for controlled inflation.
• Flexible Hose: The long, flexible hose with a secure chuck allows for easy attachment to tyre valves, even in tight spaces.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the demands of regular use in a garage or workshop environment.
• Improved Fuel Efficiency: Maintaining correct tyre pressure can significantly contribute to better fuel economy.
• Extended Tyre Life: Proper inflation reduces uneven tyre wear, prolonging the lifespan of your tyres.
• Enhanced Safety: Correct tyre pressure is crucial for vehicle handling and braking performance.

Steps to Follow For Using the Tyre Inflating Gun & Gauge

Preparation:

1. Locate Tyre Pressure Specifications: Find the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle, usually on a sticker inside the driver’s side door jamb, in the owner’s manual, or on the fuel filler flap.
2. Connect to Air Compressor: Ensure your air compressor is turned on and ready to supply air. Connect the bottom fitting of the inflating gun to your air compressor’s hose (typically a quick-connect fitting).
3. Remove Valve Cap: Unscrew the valve cap from the tyre you wish to inflate.

Inflation & Measurement:

1. Attach Chuck to Valve: Firmly press the chuck at the end of the hose onto the tyre’s valve stem. You should hear a slight hiss as air enters the gauge, and the needle will show the current tyre pressure.
2. Inflate Tyre: Squeeze the trigger on the inflating gun to release air into the tyre. Watch the gauge as you inflate.
3. Check Pressure: Release the trigger periodically to allow the gauge to display the accurate pressure reading. Do not overinflate.
4. Deflate (if needed): If you overinflated, there is usually a small button or lever on the gun (often opposite the main trigger) that allows you to release air to reduce the pressure. Press it gently to slowly deflate until the desired pressure is reached.
5. Remove Chuck & Replace Cap: Once the correct pressure is achieved, quickly remove the chuck from the valve stem and replace the valve cap securely.

After Use:

• Disconnect the inflating gun from the air compressor.
• Store the tool in a clean, dry place.

A Few Scenarios Where the Product Can Be Used:

• Regular Vehicle Maintenance: Checking and adjusting tyre pressure before long trips or as part of routine vehicle checks.
• After Tyre Repair/Replacement: Inflating newly installed or repaired tyres to the correct pressure.
• Emergency Situations: To inflate a flat tyre (if a portable air compressor is available).
• Inflating Other Items: With appropriate adapters (not included), it can be used to inflate bicycle tyres, sports equipment, etc.

Health and Safety

• Read Instructions: Always read and follow the instructions provided with both the inflating gun and your air compressor.
• Eye Protection: Always wear safety glasses when inflating tyres, as debris or air pressure can cause injury.
• Avoid Over-inflation: Never exceed the maximum recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle or the tyre itself. Over-inflation can lead to tyre blowouts and serious injury.
• Maintain Equipment: Regularly inspect the hose, chuck, and gauge for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Do not use damaged equipment.
• Keep Clear: Keep hands, face, and body clear of the tyre valve and chuck during inflation.
• Children and Pets: Keep the tool and air compressor out of reach of children and pets.
• Compressed Air Safety: Be aware of the power of compressed air. Do not point the air nozzle at yourself or others.
