Low Pressure Air Chuck

[Ramper]

When using my compressor to air up tires on my lawn tractors and other small tires I would like to be able to read the pressure more accurately. When the tire calls for 14 PSI and my gauge on my air chuck is in units of 10 PSI.

I have a low pressure tire gauge, but is there a low pressure air chuck?

It's called a regulator.

I can get the pressure lower from the compressor. I am looking for a actual air chuck that would read the lower pressures.

You can make your own fairly inexpensive, by getting a low-pressure gauge from a place like McMaster-Carr maybe

I have a 0 to 30 psi air pressure gauge extended to an air chuck with 1/4 inch nylon tubing, that I made for checking low pressure tires. Simple, and works well.

An air chuck that is is MNPT and a 0-20 psi air gauge that is FNPT and some ptfe tape. You should be able to get both at your local hardware store.

Confused here, do you need to check the pressure or you want a "low" pressure air chuck to fill the tires? I have gages to check the pressure of balls that read as low as 10 psi. Others that only go to 20 psi and others higher. So what do you need?

It's called a regulator.

If you wanted to fill your tires to 10 lbs and set the regulator to 10 lbs, you better bring a snack for while you wait on that last pound.

low pressure gauges are sold at places that sell 4wheelers and the better dealers or lawntractors

a airchuck is a airchuck just set the aircompressor to 30psi or you will be waiting forever to get enough air

pur some air in ... check pressure if needs more put some more in that way you do not overfill the tire and make it go....BOOM

He wants a tire fill chuck with a low pressure gauge mounted on it............ duh!

wal-mart/autozone/kmart/sears/pepBoys/Oreily's, etc. One dollar. Two, sometimes. Or even free with purchase of other things on occasion.

a chuck is just a fitting on the end of your hose that fits the schraeder valves on the tires.

If you want lower pressure at the chuck, turn down the regulator.

stick gauges aren't necessarily the most accurate, but with lawn tractors/wheelbarrows/dollies/casters, they just need to be in the right range, there's no performance or wear issues to deal with like with car/truck tires.

One of the things I learned some time ago with lawn mowing equipment is not to go with tire pressure.
You should measure the height from the ground to a point left/right sides on the machine.
Like a fender edge,
Then inflate to equal measurement.

That keeps you from a beveled cut.

I don't think you'll find any chucks with a low pressure gauge, nor any low pressure gauges alone. Best you can do is buy a quality chuck with a nice gauge, like the one Northern has, which may be more accurate, or try and find a chuck with a gauge screwed on, so you can replace it with an easier-to-find 0-20 or so psi round gauge. They probably don't make such a chuck...

With a quality independent gauge you should be able to read within a psi or two. If you need higher accuracy than that, you either have lawn mowing needs I cannot fathom or you're extremely **** retentive

I use a motion Pro Air guage for my dirtbike 0-15 Lbs... Expensive but you get what you pay for..

Check on SummitRacing.com. We drag racers typically run low tire pressures. You can get low pressure (15psi max) gauges/chucks anywhere from $15 to $200
