Inflation Nozzle 8 mm for Wheel Pump, Rockforce RF-DTC-18, total length 175 mm

Rockforce RF-DTC-18 is a metal inflation nozzle designed for wheel pumps with an 8 mm connection and a total length of 175 mm. It fits onto manual or compressor-based pump hoses to provide a secure connection to compatible tyre valves. The nozzle is compact and built for repeated use in garages, workshops and mobile tyre service environments where a robust, easy-to-handle accessory is required for inflating vehicle and equipment tyres.

Advantages

The nozzle’s metal construction offers durability and resistance to wear compared with plastic alternatives. Its 8 mm connection and 175 mm overall length provide a stable reach and straightforward attachment to pump hoses. The compact size simplifies storage and handling while the standard valve interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of tyre valves used on cars, motorcycles, bicycles and light equipment.

Suitable for

• Inflating car tyres
• Motorcycle and bicycle tyre inflation
• Workshop and garage tyre maintenance
• Mobile tyre service and roadside assistance
• Inflating tyres on small agricultural or garden equipment with compatible valves

Key specifications

• Connection diameter: 8 mm
• Total length: 175 mm
• Material: metal construction for increased durability
• Compatibility: designed for standard tyre valve fittings used on vehicles and light equipment
• Attachment: for use with manual and compressor-based pump hoses

How to use

Attach the nozzle to the pump hose by inserting the 8 mm connector into the hose fitting and securing it according to your pump’s attachment method. Align the nozzle with the tyre valve, press the connection onto the valve stem until a secure seal is achieved, and operate the pump to inflate the tyre to the required pressure. After inflation, release the connection carefully to avoid sudden air loss and store the nozzle in a dry place to minimise corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Check valve compatibility before use and avoid applying excessive force when attaching the nozzle to prevent valve or nozzle damage. Inspect the metal nozzle periodically for signs of wear or corrosion, and replace it if the seal no longer holds or if threads are damaged. For accurate tyre pressures, use a separate pressure gauge if your pump does not include one.
