What is the head on an air pump called?
My portable air compressor’s hose ends in a standard head for use on tires, it looks a bit like a hammer with a beaver’s tail. The beaver’s tail broke off when it was being recalcitrant, thus I need to replace it. I don’t know however what the part is called or where to buy it, or even if I can replace it myself since it works under high pressure and I haven’t got the official crimping tools. Can anyone help? Who might fix this for me?
Before you suggest I replace the pump, it’s a combination inverter, car battery jumper, air compressor, 12v accessory outlet, and so forth worth a fair piece and I’d rather fix it than toss it.
The way you described the end, it sounds like you are referring to the air chuck. There are two types: a standard chuck that you have to hold on the tire valve; and one that allows you to clamp the chuck on the valve and not hold it. The one you mentioned sounds like the second type. You don’t have to replace the chuck if the release has broken off, but you will have to hold it on the valve. A note of caution: anytime you are doing maintenance work on any part of the compressor, relieve the air pressure from the tank.
