The Power Tank Tire and Shock Chuck is an innovative tool designed to simplify and enhance the process of tuning shocks. Traditional shock inflators often utilize zero-loss air chucks from the aviation industry, which can be cumbersome, requiring wrenches and potentially causing discomfort during use. Power Tank addresses these challenges with a design that streamlines nitrogen charging.
Key Features:
✅Tool-Free Operation: Equipped with knurled thumb nuts on both ends, this chuck allows for a secure, airtight connection to Schrader valves without the need for additional tools.
✅Enhanced Sealing: The traditional copper washer is replaced with a synthetic sealing material, reducing the torque needed to achieve a leak-free seal. For situations requiring extra torque, wrench flats are provided on the bottom nut.
✅No-Air-Loss Design: Unlike conventional chucks, this design enables users to close the shock under pressure in two separate actions, ensuring no nitrogen loss during removal.
✅Rebuildable Construction: Built for durability, the chuck’s rebuildable design ensures long-term performance.
This no-air-loss chuck is utilized in Power Tank’s Shock Boss Shock Inflators (models SIG-5600 and SIG-0500) and is trusted by professionals, including Fox Racing Shocks, for tuning high-performance vehicles in demanding events like King of the Hammers and Baja 1000.
Additional Recommendations:
✅Schrader Valve Extension: For hard-to-reach valves, consider adding a Schrader Valve Extension to facilitate access.
✅Shock Fill Needle Assembly: If working with internal floating piston (IFP) shocks that require a fill needle, the Shock Fill Needle Assembly (SIG-5000) is a suitable addition.
Thread Conversion Options:
To convert the chuck to male threads, use the following adapters:
✅FIT-9037 for 1/8 NPT
✅FIT-9024 for 1/4 NPT
✅FIT-9029 for 1/4 FPT
Usage Note:
When attaching or removing the chuck from the valve stem, avoid twisting the body to maintain the integrity of the connection.
