PCL AIRFORCE MK4 High Pressure Tyre Inflator

AIRFORCE MK4 High Pressure Tyre Inflator 1.8m Hose 8V1 Screw-On Connector
 

On the face of it, the AIRFORCE® MK4 High Pressure Tyre Inflator looks exactly the same as the AIRFORCE® MK4 Tyre Inflator. The big difference is that the AIRFORCE® MK4 High Pressure Tyre Inflator is capable of inflating up to 300 psi (21 bar) making it ideally suited for any transport, mining or industrial application requiring high tyre inflation pressures.

The AIRFORCE® MK4 High Pressure Tyre Inflator is a gauge which not only answers the market need for a higher pressure inflator but also provides one which can withstand harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between the standard Airforce MK4 and the High Pressure version?

While they share the same robust "Made in Sheffield" body, the Airforce MK4 High Pressure inflator is capable of reaching pressures up to 300 PSI (21 bar), compared to the standard model's 138 PSI. This makes the HP version essential for aircraft tyres, heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and industrial machinery that require much higher inflation thresholds.

The MK4 features a biomorphic, die-cast aluminium body that is lighter and more ergonomic than its predecessors. It also utilizes a two-stage valve mechanism which ensures that the technician doesn't have to "push" against full line pressure when deflating, significantly reducing hand fatigue during repetitive high-pressure checks.

This gauge offers a reading accuracy of 5 PSI (0.25 bar) and is tested to maintain its accuracy for over 400,000 inflation cycles. The viewing window has been enlarged by 20% and features a magnified linear scale, allowing for faster and more precise readings even in low-light hangar conditions

Yes, it is fully compatible with Nitrogen. For aviation-specific use, it can be paired with 4G1 hydraulic oil-resistant armored hoses, which are designed to withstand exposure to Skydrol and other aggressive phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids commonly found near aircraft landing gear.
