Apex High Flow Chuck (Open Flow)

Apex High Flow Chuck (SKU X02-02-006)

Efficient and Robust Air Flow The Apex High Flow Chuck is designed to maximize air flow, allowing for significantly faster inflation. Unlike standard chucks that open the Schrader valve only about 50%, this chuck opens it 100%, doubling the air flow and thus speeding up the inflation process. This makes it an ideal choice for quick inflation needs, especially when paired with the Rapid Precision Valve from Apex.

Durable Construction Constructed from robust materials including 4140 chrome moly steel and stainless steel, this chuck is built to last. The steel is treated with QPQ salt bath nitrocarburizing, a process also used for military firearms, to enhance corrosion resistance.

Usage and Compatibility This open flow design is specifically meant for single point air up systems and will not work with multi-hose air down/up systems that require a closed flow chuck. It features a screw-on design that provides a reliable seal every time, which is an improvement over the standard push-on designs that can often leak air.

For those looking for a reliable, long-lasting, and quick inflation solution, the Apex High Flow Chuck offers an excellent option. For more information or to purchase, visit the product page.

This chuck, alongside other innovative Apex products, supports enhanced performance for both casual and serious off-roaders.

Frequently Asked Questions for Apex High Flow Chuck

Q: What makes the High Flow Chuck different from standard air chucks?
A: The High Flow Chuck is designed to open the Schrader valve completely, allowing 100% airflow compared to standard chucks that typically open it about 50%. This full opening enables much faster air flow, significantly reducing inflation times.

Q: Can the High Flow Chuck be used with any air compressor system?
A: No, the High Flow Chuck is an open flow design, intended for single point air up systems. It is not compatible with multi-hose air down/up systems, which require a closed flow chuck.

Q: What materials are used in the construction of the High Flow Chuck?
A: The chuck is made from 4140 chrome moly steel, which is heat treated and undergoes a QPQ salt bath nitrocarburizing process similar to that used for military firearms, ensuring it is robust and resistant to corrosion. Other parts are made from stainless steel, enhancing the chuck's durability.

Q: How do I ensure a proper seal when using the High Flow Chuck?
A: The High Flow Chuck features a screw-on design that ensures a more reliable and secure seal compared to traditional push-on designs, which can be prone to leaking. Make sure the threads are clean and the chuck is tightly screwed on to avoid any air leaks.
