If I set my air compressor's output valve to 60psi, can the inflator fill a tire to 60psi? When I did this, I could only fill my tire to 45psi.

If your pressure is set to the desired pressure, yes, you can fill a tire to that pressure. HOWEVER, the last 20 psi or so will be VERY slow in filling to the maximum set point of your regulator. Therefore, If you want a quick fill, your regulator needs to be set 40-50% higher than your desired pressure. OR, you can use a valve stem connector that latches on, set your regulator to the maximum desired psi, and go do something else for a while. 15 minutes or so later, the tire will be full.

No you have to set the output pressure higher than the desired final pressure

I don't believe this is suitable for that purpose. It's not actually an air compressor, where you have an instant volume of air at the press of a button. It's basically designed to pulsate or pump air into air inflatable devices such as vehicle tires, basketballs, etc. BUT... if you are looking for a FAST vehicle tire inflation pump, this is the ONE to get! I LOVE mine!

Vendor: It can be set and inflated for 21PSI. Please check if connection is correct. Or if your tyre is at 21PSI already, if so it won't start.

I don't believe that this compressor can drive air tools of that type. The only air tools that I've used with this unit is smaller paint spraying guns, inflating tires and multiple sizes of air nail guns. That's a good question and I would suggest going to the Bositich web site and sending that question to the Customer Service / Tech Help via the Contacts link. This is a really good compressor, it's fast, designed very well and it's not as loud as prior units that I use to own.

If you need a lot of volume vs pressure it may not. The tank on this compressor is small. I use it to blow out the water lines in our RV. I set the air pressure at about 30PSI.

This item is a tire inflation gauge. It is NOT an air compressor! It is attached to a standard air compressor line with a quick-disconnect coupling. Attached to an air compressor it would work fine for inflating bicycle tires.

Hello, I have a release valve pressure gauge on my unit. When I press to button air is released into the tire. I read the new pressure and decide if the ire needs more air or not. If air is not being released try pressing the small valve at the stem? If air does not come out then you have a problem with the hose connector. Hope that helps. The unit has work fine for me.

If I am understanding your question, can you pressurize the tires with out removing the units....the answer is no. I wish there was a way. The units work great. I like knowing my pressures and temperatures as I am driving, but you do have to remove them before adding air.

I use my compressor to fill my bicycle and car tire w/o problems. Make sure you set the pressure with the dedicated gauge/knob to the desired/limit pressure of what you are inflating. This compressor is a great buy for the money.

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again.If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

How is it used? you mean how to use it? Just plug the tire inflator to the air hose. and hold end of hose to the valve stem to pump air. how is the quality? It works good on car tire. it pump air quite fast. i've had it for about 2 months now. it still pump air as it was new. gauge is still reading accurately. i've used it to pump a portable air can to 100psi. I mean it works good for that price on sale. I like it.

My compressor supports up to 150psi, but the motor always auto-shuts off when it reaches 120psi. To this date, I have had no issues with this ballvalve as it has not leaked any air from the compressor as it held air for months. Hope this helps.

My air pressure is set at around 100psi.I don't think I had to change any settings between sizes!Another thing to consider---I NEVER had any luck using one of those pancake compressors---you gotta go back to the old-fashioned motor belt driven compressors.

Yes--you can bleed off pressure without unhooking it. What I am unsure about is how high the supply pressure can be without damaging the unit. i.e. can the air compressor be at 90 PSI while you are trying to fill a tire to 32 PSI

I used my air compressor. Too bad they didn't come with tires that never go flat. I might switch mine with those. Harbor Freight if you have them near you has tires that never go flat and you don't have to inflate.
