How to Set and Use the 100 PSI Tire InflatorUpdated 2 months ago
The Rhino USA 100 PSI Analog Tire Inflator is a durable, reliable tool for checking and adjusting tire pressure. Its mechanical gauge design is favored by many for its simplicity and accuracy, and it’s built tough for long-term use in the garage, trail, or roadside.
What’s Included
100 PSI analog inflator with mechanical gauge
¼" NPT fitting (pre-threaded)
Roll of PTFE thread seal tape
Interchangeable thread-on air chuck (for high-pressure applications)
Steel braided air hose with protective rubber housing
Key Features
Analog Gauge – Reliable and unaffected by low batteries or electronics.
¼" NPT Fitting – Standard size for compatibility with most air compressor hoses.
PTFE Tape – Creates an airtight seal around the threads to prevent leaks.
Thread-On Air Chuck – Ensures a secure connection, especially in high-pressure situations.
Steel Braided Hose – Adds strength and resists kinking.
Protective Rubber Housing – Shields the gauge from damage if dropped.
Integrated Deflator Valve – Lets you quickly release air if a tire is overinflated.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Install the NPT fitting
Wrap the threads of the ¼" NPT fitting with the included PTFE tape. Thread it into the base of the inflator and tighten securely.
2. Connect to the compressor
Attach the inflator to your air compressor hose.
3. Attach to the tire
Secure the air chuck onto the valve stem of the tire. The thread-on design ensures a tight, leak-free connection.
4. Inflate the tire
Activate your compressor and watch the gauge as the tire fills. Stop once the desired PSI is reached.
5. Deflate if needed
If you overinflate, press the integrated deflator valve to release air until the correct pressure is shown on the gauge.
Best Practices
Always check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended tire pressure.
Store the inflator in a clean, dry place to protect the gauge and fittings.
Periodically inspect the hose and fittings for wear or leaks.
