Questions about the LockNLube® Grease Coupler
Can I replace the wear parts in my coupler?
All LockNLube® Grease Couplers have replaceable seals and are field serviceable. Making our coupler rebuildable ensures it can be easily restored by the operator and lowers the lifetime cost by replacing just the parts that need it, not the whole tool. Visit our article and video to see how to easily swap out an old seal for a new one.
Will the LockNLube® Grease Coupler fit in tight spaces and reach recessed fittings?
As a high pressure, heavy duty grease coupler, it will fit into the majority of recesses (the diameter on the front is 0.63in (16mm), only 0.04in (1mm) greater than most standard push-on couplers).
While the The LockNLube® coupler is compatible with most recesses and nipple placements, it may not fit into very tight or some recessed spaces. We recommend our many quick connect adapters to get at those hard-to-reach fitting without removing the LockNLube® Grease Coupler from your grease gun.
Will it work with my grease gun?
Yes, The LOCKNLUBE® grease coupler can be used on manual lever action, pistol grip, trigger action, battery powered (cordless) and pneumatic (air operated and powered) grease guns and pumps. The threads are 1/8" NPT, which is standard for all grease guns in North America.
We even make specialty swivels to allow you to spin the coupler and grease hose freely on your manual or battery powered grease guns.
What is the pressure rating of the coupler?
The LockNLube® is rated to 10,000 PSI and tested to work with all grease guns on the market. This means the coupler will not leak or pop off, even under extreme pressures.
Questions about the LockNFlate® Air Chuck
What's the difference between open and closed flow?
Open flow air chucks always air to pass through, and so require some way to control air flow from the compressor, like an inflator gauge, tire machine, or foot pedal. Closed flow air chucks have a seal inside so that when the chuck is removed from the valve stem, the seal stops the air from passing through the chuck. This allows closed chucks to be conencted directly to a pressurized air line, often with a quick connect. For more details, check out our blog post and video here.
What makes your air chuck different?
Our air chuck uses a patented combination of six jaws that interlock with the threads of a tire valve, and a spring loaded seal that pushes against the valve stem to create a leak-free seal. Once engaged, the LockNFlate® Air Chuck won't leak or pop off, even under extreme pressures up to 150 PSI. See how it stacks up against the competition.
My air chuck leaks
If you hear air coming out around the air chuck, first check the threads and try using thread tape to create a tight connection with the air line. Next, ensure the air chuck is locked in position by pushing the back of the chuck (not the thumb lever) forward until you hear it "click" into place. Here's a video showing how to ensure your air chuck is locked on.
What about dual wheels?
Glad you asked! While the LockNFlate® Air Chuck isn't designed for reverse or angled valve stems, we do make several dual wheel air chucks that lock on and make is easy to connect and disconnect with a remote release collar. You can find more information here.
