Can An Extension Be Added To A Tire Inflator To Reach The Inner Wheel Of A Dual Wheel Setup
Question:
2018 ROADTREK CS Adventurous, 2017 Mercedes-Benz 3500 chassis, dual rear wheels. No valve stem extensions. Can a long chuck be attached to the inflator to reach the inner tire valve?

Hey Neal,
It's totally normal to add on an air chuck extension to your compressor or the Viair Portable RV Air Compressor Kit # VA99WR you were looking at to reach the inner tire of a dual wheel setup. We currently only offer one solid extension with part # ARB74QJ, which has a male quick disconnect fitting so you might have to buy an adapter to connect it to your inflator. Adapter fittings can typically be found at your local hardware store near the air compressors and air tools.
If you decide you want to put on some valve stem extensions later on or need anything else just let me know and I'd be happy to help.

Also, on the extended chuck.: The compressor instructions say to connect to valve stem, then turn on the compressor. Is this gospel? I think that might not work when using the extended chuck as the compressor will likely not be close to the wheels. Can you clarify?

Thanks, A duty cycle question. My anticipated use is to routinely maintain 6 tires at 61psi. The duty cycle is listed at 25% at 20 amps and 30psi. If I understand duty cycle the compressor would need to be turned off for 45 minutes if it was run for 15 minutes. Would you anticipate this 15 minutes limitation would not be an issue given my typical use?
