I don't know if this is the best sub board, but I've got a question about the new VIAIR 450 I had ordered. I tried it this weekend on my wife's commuter car just to be sure it works, and it mostly did. But the valve won't latch. I'm not sure what to call the part, but it's the little button on the back of the valve that connects to the tire - it doesn't move.
It should be able to go down and hook to the valve stem shouldn't it? I can't get the little button to move or stay attached to the tire. So I end up having to push it down the entire time I'm inflating the tire, and when I air down my bigger tires I don't want to have to hold this for five minutes or so on each tire.
Does anyone know if this is normal or if it is probably defective? Should I send it back to swap for another?
Thanks!
