Sports reviews of Topeak Pressure-Rite Anti-Air Loss Connector
Customer Review: Worked fairly well on my car...
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I ordered this at the same time as I ordered my Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable Compressor ([...]), because the reviews for that pump all mentioned that the included hose had to be screwed onto the tire stem, and I didn't want to have half of the air I just pumped into my tire escape while I tried to disconnect the pump.
So once I got my new compressor, I went ahead and tried to use this adapter with it, and got pretty decent results. In case it's not clear from the product description, you start by screwing the small end into your air compressor hose, and then screw the big end onto your tire stem. (You don't have to twist the whole adapter around to screw it onto the tire -- there's a free-rotating cap on the end that does all the twisting).
Once you're done filling your tire, you unscrew the big end from the tire stem, and replace the stem cap. As you unscrew the big end from the tire stem, you will hear a small amount of air escaping, but the valve embedded in the adapter keeps this to a minimum.
Anyhow, when I tried to use this adapter with my air compressor, I did have some difficulty getting the small end to attach squarely with the air compressor. However, even with the adapter slightly crooked (1-2 threads off), it still did the job with no problems. The adapter attached to my car's tire (a 2006 Honda Civic) without any fuss at all.
As one of the previous reviewers mentioned, using this adapter may introduce some inaccuracy into your pump's built-in air gauge, so you may need to check your results with an independent air gauge. (Built-in air gauges usually stink anyways, so this is often a good idea regardless of whether or not you use this adapter.)
Long story short, I may try filling my car tires without this adapter next time, and see how it goes. I'm not sorry I bought it, though I would suggest to other prospective buyers that they wait to purchase this product until they know they'll need it. I can definitely see how it would be useful for bike tires and in tight spaces, though, and would recommend it wholeheartedly for that.
Very high-quality design/construction, so I give it five stars.
