I purchased the pump.The only valve I see it fitting is a Shrader. The end is only threaded on one side and can't be reversed. Am I missing something?

Unscrew the cover around the opening and then you can pull the rubber thing out and flip it over for the other type of fitting.

It has threads on both the sides. I faced this dilemma too.The valve or face of the valve needs to be removed and turned the other way to have it fit into other valves.It is slightly tight to loosen it but it should not be an issue.

Yes - unscrew the cap, and reverse the little green insert with the spring inside. Screw the cap back on, and you will be good to go ;)

You unscrew it. Then pull up the lever and pull out the rubber bit that is inside. You can flipp over the two peices so they match eatch other with the presta valve(Small Hole) facing out.

If you are talking about the main hose that has the crevice tool fitting on it, it is a left handed thread. Tighten by turning it counter clockwise. Maybe try some silicone or soft glue. It is one of the flaws of this vacuum. And honestly, frustrating..

Hi Pat,If you unscrew the nut on the head of the pump and remove it a rubber bush will be exposed which should also be removed together with the plastic valve behind the bush. Turn both the valve and the bush 180 degrees around and re-insert the valve followed by the bush so that the bush has the smaller diameter hole facing outwards to fit onto your smaller Presta valve. Then re-screw on the silver nut, with the dustcap attached, back onto the pump. The pump should now be able to inflate your Presta Valves.If you still are having a problem, have a look on YouTube as there are quite a few video clips on there that show this being done.

The small plastic tube that goes to the bottom is not part of the valve and can be substituted for a longer one if u need. I will check how long is this tube that came with the valve.

That didn't work in my case. I went with a 2 way shut off valve (find them in the garden center of your local box hardware store)

Unfortunately it does sound like it is defective. The one I got has threads to screw onto any standard hose. I would request an RMA on yours.

The overflow at the top of the barrel is an odd size and is not threaded. I have not found any hose to fit it. I have rigged some things that didn't work very well.

On the pump I had to take the old and new pump apart at the impeller housing to make it work. I had to use the old impeller housing on the new pump. I tried swapping the mounting bracket on the pump but bolt holes did not line up. Vern

The adapter that's on the second picture of this pump is the one to use. The side nipple is (i think) for pumping air into the tube which increases the max water head(height). If your not using it either seal the hole with some silicone glue or attach a small tube and tie/pinch the other end. I dont remember all the attachments but what I remember I had to silicone glue some parts together to get the right tube diameter for my needs.

The input and output on the pump are the same size, 1/4", I think; you may need an adapter union.

You can easely modify it yourself, but I'll sugjest you return it for the right one, I' had to return mine, but the reason was thy shipped the wrong pump, the pump wil not work properly without the return.

its an hr valve, see here, http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?i=39403 and here, http://www.halkeyroberts.com/products/inflation/boat-valves/690-nsbvg-boat-valve.aspx, they're slick in how they work just don't loose the adapter, cause then you're probably screwed.

Sorry Tim I can't answer that because I don't know. I would be willing to send it to you to try if you pay for shipping via paypal. Keep in mind you will need to purchase the correct valve to replace your bad one. Let me know.Terry

I Have had this problem, and it is a very easy fix. Make sure that the black hose connector is inserted correctly into the canister (lever facing the primer button). I believe that when this piece is inserted backwards there are check valves that do not allow flow in the proper direction. This is a design flaw, it would be very easy to design the piece so it only fits in the canister in the correct orientation.

There definitely were threads on my ball valve. I simply purchased a street ell and drained it that way. Someone knowledgeable with plumbing fittings can configure it anyway you want. Bring ball valve to Home Depot and they can help you out.

I don't see any diff in the valve position when using the pump. What I notice is the entire top goes down. Too much pumping causing you not to be able to close the side tabs. Remember I don't close the side tabs until I've pumped out the air. That way I know when the air has been removed. I love these things. There the only ones that I've purchased that work. I don't put them in the dishwasher and if I have any problems holding air I put a little olive oil on the valve and rubber lining. Gary

That's a big opening. This pump, and every battery operated pump I've had, has 1/2" as it's largest adapter opening. It might be time to go to the sporting goods store & ask about a solution.
