FAQs
What type of connector does the Sealey SA360 have?
The Sealey SA360 features a quick-release clip-on connector designed to attach to tyre inflator hoses with a 1/4"BSP male connector.
Is this connector compatible with all tyre inflators?
It is compatible with many tyre inflators that have a 1/4"BSP male connector on the end of the hose. It is specifically compatible with several Sealey models.
How long is the Sealey SA360 connector?
The overall length of the Sealey SA360 connector is 160mm.
What is the main advantage of the swivel head design?
The swivel head design allows for easier access to tyre valves, especially in confined spaces or when the valve stem is at an awkward angle.
How do I ensure a secure connection?
Ensure the clip-on connector is firmly seated onto the tyre valve and the push-button mechanism is fully engaged. A small test of air flow can confirm a good seal before inflating to high pressures.
Can I use this with air compressors that don't have a tyre inflator hose?
This connector is designed for tyre inflator hoses that terminate in a 1/4"BSP male connector. It cannot be directly connected to a standard air compressor outlet without the appropriate adapter or hose assembly.
What maintenance is required for this connector?
Keep the connector clean, especially the sealing surfaces and clip mechanism. Inspect the internal rubber seal periodically for wear and replace if needed. Store in a dry place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Air leaks when connected to the tyre valve.
Ensure the connector is fully clipped onto the valve stem and the swivel head is properly aligned. Check the rubber seal inside the connector for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Verify that the tyre inflator hose connection (1/4"BSP) is secure.
Connector is difficult to attach or detach.
Ensure the tyre valve is in good condition and not obstructed. Check for any debris inside the connector's opening or on the valve stem. The quick-release button might require a firm press to disengage.
Swivel head feels stiff or does not move freely.
Inspect the swivel joint for any dirt or foreign material that might be obstructing movement. Gently try to work the swivel mechanism back and forth. If stiffness persists, a small amount of appropriate lubricant might be applied, but use sparingly to avoid contamination.
