Inflation Tip 8 mm Rockforce RF-ATC-09 — valve adapter for tyre inflation

Rockforce RF-ATC-09 is an 8 mm inflation tip designed as a valve adapter for tyre inflation. The adapter combines metal and plastic elements to provide a compact connector that attaches to compatible manual and pneumatic pumps. It is intended to facilitate secure and reliable air transfer to tyres, inner tubes and other inflatable items, offering simple operation for workshop or roadside use.

Advantages

The 8 mm size provides a stable fit on suitably sized valve fittings, while the mixed-metal and plastic construction balances durability with lightweight handling. Its compact profile makes storage and transport easy, and the design enables quick attachment and detachment from pump hoses. The adapter is suitable for repeated use in both professional and occasional settings, ensuring consistent airflow during inflation.

Suitable for

• Inflating car and motorcycle tyres with compatible valve fittings
• Servicing bicycle inner tubes and portable inflatables
• Use with manual floor pumps and pneumatic air compressors that accept 8 mm tips
• On-road emergency tyre inflation and workshop maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Tip diameter: 8 mm
• Construction: metal and plastic components
• Compatibility: fits pumps and hoses designed for 8 mm valve adapters
• Use environment: suitable for workshop and roadside applications
• Physical form: compact, lightweight adapter

How to use

Connect the inflation tip to the pump hose or fitting designed for 8 mm adapters, ensuring a secure mechanical seating. Place the tip over the tyre or inner tube valve and engage any locking mechanism on the pump if present to create an airtight connection. Operate the pump according to its instructions until the desired pressure is reached, then release the lock and remove the adapter carefully to avoid losing air. Inspect the tip regularly for wear or damage and replace it if the seal or attachment parts become compromised.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible pump fittings and valves only; avoid forcing the adapter onto incorrectly sized valves. Keep the tip clean and free of debris to maintain a reliable seal. For best results, check valve cores and tyre pressure specifications before inflation and use a pressure gauge to confirm correct inflation.
