Compressors and Inflation Accessories
Portable compressor systems and compatible components for inflating vehicle tyres and managing compressed-air connections.
Typical Applications
- Inflating 4×4 and passenger-vehicle tyres
- Adjusting tyre pressure before and after off-road travel
- Inflating two tyres through a split connection
- Replacing compatible compressor hoses, gauges and fittings
Available Products
Portable Compressors
- 180 L/min compressor in an ammo box — intended for tyres up to 33 inches; includes a gauge calibrated in bar, a quick-connect fitting, 6 m hose and 2.5 m power cable. Not suitable for tractor or lorry tyres.
- 180 L/min compressor with a 0.6 L air tank — supplied in a plastic carry case with electronic pressure gauge, automatic shut-off, 5.85 m hose and 2.3 m electrical cable. Gauge batteries are included.
Compressor Accessories
- Compressor gauge — reads up to 10 bar
- Rubber compressor hose — 6 m hose with quick-connect fitting
- Y-type split quick connector — allows two tyres to be inflated from one compressor
- Quick-release air chuck — open-end fitting
- Dash-mounted compressor switch
The 6 m replacement hose fits compressors with a compatible male fitting. It fits the Badger ammo-box compressor but does not fit the case compressor or Valcano compressor.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring, Gauges and Deflators
Equipment for checking, monitoring and reducing tyre pressure across everyday and off-road driving applications.
Typical Applications
- Routine tyre-pressure checks
- Off-road tyre deflation
- Monitoring all four tyres while driving
- Checking inflation during compressor use
Available Products
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
- Four-wheel TPMS with wired display — four internal sensors with replaceable batteries; hard-wired installation with piggyback fuse connection; display can be mounted horizontally or vertically; pressure range 0.1 to 3.1 bar.
Tyre Pressure Gauges
- Electronic tyre-pressure gauge
- Pencil-type tyre-pressure gauge
- Badger dial-type tyre-pressure gauge — 0–4 bar range, intended for easy reading on off-road tyres
Tyre Deflator
- Badger clip-on tyre deflator — clips onto the tyre valve; open the valve to release air and close it to check the pressure; also functions as a tyre-pressure gauge.
Tyre Repair Kits and Consumables
Tyre-repair equipment and replacement consumables for temporary tubeless tyre repairs.
Typical Applications
- Emergency roadside puncture repairs
- Off-road and touring vehicles
- Motorcycle tyre repairs
- Replenishing existing tyre-repair kits

Repair Consumables
- Tyre-repair plugs — 5 mm × 100 mm, pack of five
- Mushroom plugs — available with 7 mm and 9 mm stems
- Rubber cement — for use with tyre-repair plug inserts
- Tubeless tyre reamer
Tyre-repair products are intended for temporary repairs. A repaired tyre should be professionally inspected before continued use.
Tyre Valves and Extension Components
Valve accessories and extension components for servicing tyres and reaching valves in difficult or remote mounting positions.
Typical Applications
- Spare-wheel valve access
- Custom valve-extension installations
- Valves positioned behind wheels or covers
- Tyre servicing and valve-core replacement
Available Products
Valve Extensions
- Braided spare-wheel valve extension — 1,000 mm long
- Braided tyre-valve extension hose — 5 mm internal diameter, sold per metre
- Tyre-valve extension fitting kit — for making a custom-length extension hose
- 90-degree valve adaptor — for valves positioned at an awkward angle
Valve Components & Tools
- Metal valve cap
- Valve cap with integrated valve-removal tool
- Valve-removing tool
- Replacement valve core
Building a custom valve-extension hose requires the fitting kit and a suitable ferrule-crimping tool. A hydraulic workshop should be able to assist with crimping.
