I have a portable tire inflator w/chuck-lock for valve stem. Can this valve stem be Locked to the chuck, & screwed onto the tire stem?

Sure, I don't know why you wouldn't just leave it on and lock it on as it is though.

It is a straight push design, the threads are oversize so you can pull the air chuck a little sideways and it will usually hold on to the valve stem with out your holding it by hand. Most tire shops and mechanics use this type. Just push it onto valve stem an then tilt it in a direction that lets the weight of the hose make the chuck hang on. Also a great chuck if you just hold it while airing tire. I have used this type for years on bicycles, motorcycles golf carts, autos, and especially on motorhomes with dual tires ( which the straight design is usually needed.

Yes it connects using a quick connect fitting. All of us in our 4wheeler group uses Vair. I took the screw on connector for the valve stem and installed a a regular push type with a clamp from Harbor Freight $2.oo, easier connect, safer for valve stem. This compressor fills the fastest. The next model up fills slower but is continuous duty. I picked this one for output volume. Works great.

I'm not familiar with a bike tire inflater but I would assume that it would work. They are standard C02 cartridges that have been around for years.

Yes-The chuck locks up when not powered, you can turn the whole body like a manual screw driver.

It should be pressed against the valve stem without bending the valve stem. On my SUV, it can be done very easily. But, on my Royal Enfield motorcycle, I had to maneuver it as I had to insert the digital tire pressure gauge in between the spokes and measure the pressure with the dial facing the opposite side due to the angle and spokes. Of course, I can read the value after measuring and removing it from the wheel.

The hose attaches to the tire stem like any other pump such as a bicycle pump. You push the end over the tire valve and push the lever down to lock it on the stem.

It must spin freely so you can screw it onto the valve stem without the adapter getting tangled up in the bicycle spokes. Works great for me.

As the others pointed out, you need to be square to the stem and apply with firm pressure but it'll hold on good, if you let it go and move the hose around too much it'll leak air but to be honest, I've never seen a 'hands free' chuck that was 100% leak free. I generally don't clamp it on, I hold the lever on the chuck in the open position with my thumb, push down to get my reading and operate the inflate/deflate lever with the other hand. The operation is quick and simple, so to me it's hardly worth messing around with locking it on. It is worth it - I wouldn't want to be without it.

Not really theft proof but they do have a set screw that takes a small hex wrench. If you did not loosen the screw you probably could twist the valve stem caps off of the stem with some force. It might damage the stem the Tyredog caps or both. It sort of falls in the category of "Locks keep the honest people out". I would call it "Theft deterrent".Of course without the display unit that is inside the car the caps are useless and vice versa for you if the caps get stolen.

It's a standard valve stem (Schrader valve, I believe it's called) connector used on auto wheels. You can fill it with any tire inflator that is connected a source of compressed air. It's located on the brass assembly that connect the hose, air control valve, and gauge to the tank.

Yes. However, I did it by mounting it to the Campbell Hausfeld MP6000 Tire Inflator with Gauge using a hose clamp. It works great filling my car or bicycle tires and the gauge is accurate.

It should work and the easiest way to use it on a bicycle tire is to attach it to the valve stem then hook the hose from the compressor to the male threads on the Topeak adapter.

It's a tire not a tube. The tube determines the valve type. This will work with any correct size tube

Yes, it bolts to one of the bolts on the hub then then air line screws onto the valve stem. I hope that helped.

so long as the air nozzle fits the tire valve it will and all tire valves are the same except for high end bicycle tires just be aware the cartridges get bitterly cold when used! wear gloves and go for it

I purchased this valve stem for my Chinese Scooter 10" tire which doesn't have space for straight valve and it worked fine, the nice thing about it I can position it in place by tighten the nut, since I don't have any room for pulling the valve stem in place and I didn't have to take the tire off the scooter.
