Does this air chuck leak air when connected to the valve stem?

No. But the flow through the chuck is very slow. I used it once and never again

Not if you connect it right. You need to press the lever firmly and then push the chuck over the tire stem and then release the lever. There is a rubber o-ring in the chuck that seals it against the stem and the catch controlled by the arm keeps it tight. I've used it a lot on bike tubes and never had it leak when I put it on right.

Hold the side lever, press down firmly, release the side lever and no, it won't leak. The side lever controls a lock on the inside of the chuck that keeps the o-ring around the valve from leaking.

If you push it on stem as far as it will go and apply the lock it does not leak air.

Not at first. After connecting a few times to the same valve stem it leaked unless you move it around to get a better fit, straight on. I finally replaced it with an air line quick disconnect that connects directly to the air line on my air tank. I don't use the schraeder valve on the tank any more.

Sometimes, I have to twist it a bit to stop the leaking. It works like other locking chucks.

It's just like a regular tire tube with a valve stem and cap. Just press the inner pin and the air is released.

No, I don't think so. The air is not leaking unless you push the release button.

Not noticeably. the worst cause of air leakage is my hose attachments, or the connectors. if they are disconnected, and it is unplugged, it can hold air for a few days as i recall. but thats just mine...

It will connect to the end of your hose like any other accessory, example: adapter to inflate a tire or a nail gun. The small end you see on this plug is what will connect to your hose. Mine connected nice and snug with no air leaks.Hope this helps answer your question.

Although the valve of the pump would screw onto a standard tire "stem valve" the relatively small amount of air that the pump itself displaces would not be an efficient way of putting air into your tire. It is absolutely great for the intended purpose of putting air into air shocks, but would be frustrating to use on tires.

Yes this pretty normal with an air compressor. Even my big compressor does this. Even though you can not hear an air leak there is usually a small one and that makes the compressor kick on to fill back up.

There is a small gauge in the black portion that sticks off of the valve attachment. I found when using it with my schrader valves it is not always the most accurate.

No idea, but I do know if you don't have a round rubber ring between the unit under the rim and the nut on top, no amount of torque is ever going to stop the air leak.

No, that is a separate piece. It has an air release/pressure gauge valve at the top.
2020605
yes, most air copressor will leak down occasionally this does not affect its use or life of it.
971008
yes, i just checked for you. the part that screws into the pump is a one way valve so the air isn't released.

Here is the information from the manufacturer: Straight Foot 516 / S-516 with Lock On Threads1/8"-27 NPT need to hold chuck on tire (15") valve during inflation

Have experienced no pressure drop using air tools. I have a large Campbell industrial compressor. It may be different using a smaller portable compressor

It is not at all a cheap fitting. It's a very heavy brass fitting with a strong spring clamp. That said, it works terribly! It usually stays quite firmly on the valve stem, but will leak air if not held at the right angle. So, you just have to hold it while operating. Fortunately, the device can be operated with one hand so it's not a problem. All in all, this is a great device, and made from very high quality components. I don't know why it's so hard to design a quick-release chuck that works well, but evidently it is, as nobody else seems to have much luck. This is better than any I've tried, but the short answer is "no" it doesn't seal well. It is not at all a cheap fitting. It's a very heavy brass fitting with a strong spring clamp.

I have say yes if I pull trigger if not on valve it has air come out, hope this helps

It comes with one but good luck using it with the chuck attached to the coil cord. I am still looking for the chuck that is used with any manual pump so I would be able to attach it to the coil hose chuck without any air leaking through. I really don't understand why they did not supply the chuck with the lever that seals the stem on the Presta valve while pushing the inside pin and fully opening the access to the bicycle tire.
