bongo321 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Plan B then thanks . Have found a T-max connector and have a clip on valve connector and pipe obviously . But now ive made it up im wondering why they put the silly screw on end to connect to the tyre valve ? , maybe to slowly increase the pressure , so if i just connect will it damage the pump . Must be a reason why they fitted that type of end . cost cheaper ??? Edited January 17, 2020 by bongo321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If you screw the T-max (or similar) line into the valve, it will be a secure fit so you can walk over to the compressor and turn it on. The clip on connectors are prone to leaking, not a big deal if you're right there holding the trigger, but not ideal when the switch is several meters away. And as said, it's not a good idea to use a trigger type inflator directly from the 12V compressor as it doesn't have a tank or pressure switch and will keep pumping at max pressure. My guess is that's also the reason T-max uses a male connector at the compressor end as opposed to female on a mains compressor, so you can't unknowingly use standard airtools that rely on a tank.
