Apex Designs High Flow Air Chuck - Open Flow

Airing up your tires is one of the evil necessaries of offroading. Make it easier on yourself by having a high flow, open flow air chuck. What's a high flow, open flow air chuck you say? Let's break it down. High flow gets you the most amount of air passing through the valve stem to get the pressure from your air system to your tires as efficiently (and timely) as possible. This design will push the schrader valve in the valve stem in 100% to get the maximum amount of air into the tire. Most other chucks on the market will only press the schrader valve in 50% of the way leading to longer fill times. Open flow means that if you leave the chuck on the valve stem and it's not hooked up to the hose or is exposed to open air, it will drain your tire. The benefit of this is 1) your chuck can double as a deflator and 2) the open flow design does not have a check valve. Check valves choke down the air flow and make it harder for air to get in (or out) of your tire. Air chucks are used to get air from the hose to your valve stem. This Apex Designs chuck threads onto the valve stem so that you get a secure connection that you can walk away from and not have to babysit. Add all of these features together and you have the Apex Designs high flow air chuck! The black part of the chuck made of 4140 chrome moly steel that’s heat treated and subjected to QPQ salt bath nitrocarburizing so it won’t rust. The other parts are stainless steel. It has a metal sealing seat so it won’t wear out. It’s also a thread-on design instead of a fussy push-on design. It takes a few more seconds to attach, but so does trying to get a push-on design to seal properly. Paired with the Apex Designs valve stems and you have a highly effecient, heavy duty air setup to speed up your airing up and airing down. This chuck will just work for decades.
