Can this infiltrator be used with a presta valve?

No. I think it is designed for "shop" use for Schrader type tubes... Either way, this head won't work. I used a head of an old bike pump on a different valve handle...

The easiest thing to do for presta valves is to just get the cheap adapters that fit over the valve. These work fine and you don't have to modify the pump, which you may want to use for car tires also. Presta Adapter

You can do a hack and replace the valve that comes on it with one of these. Works awesome for me. http://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Avenir-Replacement-Bicycle-Floor/dp/B002K2H5T0/ref=pd_sim_sg_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0TSQM30A7K3QT00M5GKS

Sorry. Don't use a presta valve. But this is a conventional clip-on inflator, so you would likely need an adapter of some sort.

It connects to a Schrader valve, you could probably use it with a seperate adapter.

You may need an adapter. This clips on to Schrader valves very easily. Prestas have the narrow cap, so it may take an adapter or some finagling to get it to work. Ive ran mine on my diesel tires up to 110psi with no issues.

I haven't used it but I see no reason why not, you would need a needle valve.

yes, because tires tubes are stretchy they will this should work for you the big deal is the schrader versus presta valve; this tube has a schrader valve.

Presta. To use Schrader you would need to drill out the hole bigger but i wouldn't recommend it.

Schrader are the valves that I use them on.....the bicycles and the car....but will fit presta with a adaptor

This compressor will work with Schrader valves fine, but will not work with Presta. The blue nozzle will go over the lock nut of the Presta valve. but will not go over the body and seal against the body of the Presta valve. If you purchase a Presta adapter to fit in the Schrader end of this compressor hose, then this compressor will work with Presta.

I believe "presta" is a bicycle tire valve. The way the valve seals internally is different, but it would use the same pressure guage as an automotive valve. Bike tires use a lot higher pressure. Check the spec's on this guage and be sure it measures a high enough psi for your tires.

It can be used in conjunction with an intex filter pump, but that that particular model of salt water module has had a lot of problems. Make sure that you are getting the revised and updated version of that that system.

I do not imagine it would be. The two instruments work at different water pressures. I do highly recommend the Grosann HydroPulse as a means of nasal irrigation. I have had mine for over 3 years and love it. There is one "watch out for." Many ads on Amazon show dissatisfaction because they don't last long - weeks to months. The trick is that after one uses the unit, I "flush" the unit with 30 oz of water just to make sure I get all of the salt solution cleaned out. The reason for premature failure of the many units is that the salt dries out in the unit and causes high friction in the unit.

I assume you mean presta valves vs. schrader valves (shrader=standard car tire valve). It adapts to both - the head unscrews and you can flip the bits inside to make it compatible with either valve type.

I have used mine in a therapure filter based on my experience it should be okay to try it. Make sure the builb is not touching any part of the unit. Keep an eye on it for the first 24 hours.

The short answer is "I don't know". But, Presta valves are found mostly on bicycles and if you are considering carrying this gauge in your bicycle tool kit I'd vote against it simply because it is heavy. It is probably the best tire guage you can buy, but it is big and heavy, in bicycle terms.

Yes, provided that the line has threaded ends that match the size of the valve you are using. I use braided lines too.

Dad2Three is right. Just one more note on this. At least on my pump, the nut on the head of the pump was impossible for me to loosen by hand since it was so tight. I could only loosen it with the careful use of a vice grip. I didn't want to break the nut, so I put wrapped a rag around it to avoid scratching or damaging the nut, and I didn't squeeze too hard on the nut. I was able to loosen it this way and then do what Dad2Three said to make it work for presta valves.

Absolutely. At 40psi and above, the system works very well. If you have more prefilter system(s) before the Hydrologic , then you would need a higher psi.

Hi Pat,If you unscrew the nut on the head of the pump and remove it a rubber bush will be exposed which should also be removed together with the plastic valve behind the bush. Turn both the valve and the bush 180 degrees around and re-insert the valve followed by the bush so that the bush has the smaller diameter hole facing outwards to fit onto your smaller Presta valve. Then re-screw on the silver nut, with the dustcap attached, back onto the pump. The pump should now be able to inflate your Presta Valves.If you still are having a problem, have a look on YouTube as there are quite a few video clips on there that show this being done. The one I looked at was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glGYzmVT62A" Hi Pat,If you unscrew the nut on the head of the pump and remove it a rubber bush will be exposed which should also be removed together with the plastic valve behind the bush.

I do not believe it will function on a Presta type bicycle inner-tube valve stem. The Accutire Gauge has a simple, typical car valve fitting (Schrader) interface. In fact the valve to gauge interface it is the weakest link in the Accutire device. It simply is a flat rubber surface with small metal post protruding out from its center, all being recessed down inside the plastic gauge nose/tip.. So the only airtight seal is your handheld force of than flat rubber surface against the round, cylindrical top of the valve, i.e., typical car valve stem. That rubber surface is prone to weer and deformation over time and use, so that is typically where the gauge deteriorates and so becomes useless (will not seal properly to give accurate, consistent readings).
