With a straight head for outer wheels and a 30° reverse head for inner or hard-to-reach valves, the extended 16-1\/4\" length and lock-on thread design make inflation faster, safer and more reliable than standard short chucks. Built from solid brass and zinc alloy components and supplied as a 2-pack, these chucks attach to standard 1\/4\" female NPT fittings so they work with most compressors, gauges and inflators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the dual-head design make inflating dually tires easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two distinct heads let you reach valve stems that sit close together or are recessed behind wheels. One straight head aligns with outer valves; the 30° reverse head accesses inner valves without removing the wheel or awkward bending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight head for outer wheel valves — direct access and quick seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30° reverse head reaches inner or recessed valves without hassle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16-1\/4\" extended length for better reach between dual rims\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo chucks per pack for servicing both sides or sharing tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials and construction protect these chucks from wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAFELIFE builds the chucks with solid brass bodies and cores for corrosion resistance and long life.
