MILTON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MILTON from 3G Electric.
What pressure increments are available in MILTON dial tire pressure gauges?
MILTON dial tire pressure gauges are offered with either 2 psi or 20 psi increments. The 2 psi increment models, such as the Dual Head Dial Pressure Gauge (MPN 951) and Large Bore Dial Pressure Gauge (MPN 956), provide finer resolution for precise inflation tasks. The 20 psi increment model, such as the S-936, is suited for applications where a broader range and less granularity are acceptable. Both types use analog dial displays. The choice depends on the required accuracy and the pressure range of the tires being serviced. These gauges are commonly used in automotive, truck, and industrial equipment maintenance.
What are the thread sizes and materials for MILTON heavy-duty tire chucks?
MILTON heavy-duty tire chucks feature a 1/4 in FNPT thread size. The straight long-reach push-on dual-head model (MPN 693BLK) is constructed from aluminum with a black finish. The straight long-reach lock-on dual-head model (MPN S-693-12) is made from brass with a gold finish. Both are designed for checking or inflating tires, with the lock-on version providing a secure attachment to the valve stem. The dual-head configuration allows access to valve stems in confined spaces. These chucks are compatible with standard air hose fittings and are used in tire service and maintenance operations.
What are the specifications of MILTON portable DC-powered fuel transfer pumps?
MILTON portable DC-powered fuel transfer pumps operate on 12 V DC and feature a 1/10 hp motor. They have a polyethylene housing that resists corrosion. The maximum flow rate is 10.5 gpm. These pumps are supplied with a hose and nozzle, and a meter is not included. Models include ZEFS-55LP, ZEFS-55S, and ZEFS-116. They are intended for transferring fuel and other compatible fluids from drums or tanks. The polyethylene housing makes them suitable for use with various fuels. These pumps are portable and can be used in remote locations where AC power is not available.
Can MILTON tire pressure gauges be used on industrial equipment tires?
Yes, MILTON tire pressure gauges are suitable for automotive, truck, and industrial equipment tires. The analog dial design provides a clear reading, and the pressure increments (2 psi or 20 psi) allow for appropriate measurement depending on the tire specification. The brass body models offer durability. For industrial equipment, the 20 psi increment gauge may be sufficient for larger tires, while the 2 psi increment gauge provides more precise readings for smaller or high-pressure tires. Always verify the gauge's pressure range against the tire's recommended inflation pressure. These gauges are tools for checking and maintaining proper tire pressure.
What is the difference between the MILTON S-693-12 and 693BLK tire chucks?
The MILTON S-693-12 and 693BLK are both heavy-duty straight long-reach dual-head tire chucks with 1/4 in FNPT threads. The S-693-12 is a lock-on type constructed from brass with a gold finish, designed for inflating tires. The 693BLK is a push-on type made from aluminum with a black finish, intended for checking tire pressure. The lock-on feature of the S-693-12 provides a secure connection to the valve stem, allowing hands-free inflation. The push-on design of the 693BLK is quicker to attach and remove for pressure checks. Both offer long reach for accessing valves in confined spaces.
Are MILTON fuel transfer pumps compatible with diesel and gasoline?
MILTON portable DC-powered fuel transfer pumps are designed for transferring fuel and other compatible fluids. The polyethylene housing resists corrosion from many fuels. However, compatibility with specific fluids should be verified against the pump's chemical resistance data. These pumps are commonly used for diesel and gasoline transfer in automotive, agricultural, and industrial applications. The 12 V DC operation allows use with vehicle batteries or portable power sources. Always follow safety precautions when handling flammable liquids. Consult the manufacturer's documentation for detailed fluid compatibility and operating instructions.
