I have one of these.
When i connect it to a compressor the air comes out of the top nozzle not the one on the tyre.
I'm doing something wrong
Help
Thanks

I think these things have a ballbearing inside that is meant to be pushed towards the path of least resistance initially by the air flow (which should be the nozzle that's NOT connected to a valve) thereby blocking to open nozzle. Sometimes the ball sticks to the internal valve seat and a bit of "percussive" persuasion can loosen it and get it working properly.
It short, hit it!

As a long standing refugee from the bearing industry can I request that posters refer to steel balls as *steel balls* and not bearings?
Pedant mode off:-)
You mean bearing balls not ball bearings?

OK if you must but there is no proof that this particular ball had an alternative life opportunity:-)
It might not even be a ball, could be a kind of hinged plunger like wotsit...! Brian
