Pump needs a new valve.

Problem solved! Could not find a replacement "chuck" for my Air Station air hose. AutoZone couldn't help me but suggested I try my local Tractor Supply store. ( Those stores are great by the way. )

The service dept guy looked at it and said "maybe". He got a package off the shelf that contained a new air hose and chuck. He unscrewed the old hose out of the unit and screwed in the new one. Perfect fit. I've tried it and it works fine.

The brand name of the new hose/chuck is Campbell Hausfeld and is called "3 ft. Air Hose & Air Chuck." It cost $10.99 plus tax.

The new hose is not as long as the original one but it's quite adequet.

This is the bomb! I have a 40 year old air station that had the valve fall off this week as I was pumping up my bike tires. I went in search of a new hose and valve, but B & D was not helpful at all. I was pricing out new air inflator/compressors and decided to google again and came upon this post. Tractor Supply moved in a couple of months ago not far from me. They had the part that was mentioned and it is perfect! Thank you all so much! (I paid $12.99, but so much better than a new unit!)

I know this post is old, but I simply wrap a little teflon tape on the valve stem threads to seal the chuck. It holds the pressure great and the car tires now fill up in half the time.

I’d take the housing apart to access the hose to check for splits in the rubber or clamp failures within.

That’s all I have. Good luck.

EXACTLY my problem with my air pump...

Are you all laughing at the back and forth eMails?

I went on the sites suggested, and wasted a lot of time trying to find the part.

Is that what's so funny?

My question is ...why post a suggestion with no result?

There is no DIY. The Grainger answer is NOT correct. The only way to do it is to bring it to a B&D Service Center. http://www.blackanddecker.com/Service-Ce...

original question: From John M 3/29/11; best correct answer: from Larry 12/3/11;

confirmation that that was best correct answer: from applegirl704 6/23/14;

and now a reconfirmation: from RonL 11/25/15.... same problem, same solution. Approx 30 year old B&D Air Station in need of new hose and chuck valve. Just bought the Campbell Hausfeld "3 ft. Air Hose & Air Chuck" at my local Tractor Supply store (which I didn't even know existed) for $12.99. So glad I stumbled on to this site and this thread. By the way, my air station chuck valve came off a couple years ago and I bought a Craftsman air pump for about $50 and the motor burned up less than two years later. Talk about Junk. 30 year old Air Station now once again going strong.

My Air Station chuck is OK…just a little finicky.

Problem with mine is a lack of pressure. Filled 3 bicycle tires just fine(to 60 and 80#); but when filling the fourth, I heard a “pop” and the motor started to “freewheel” a bit like there was no backpressure. Sure enough, the AS won’t put more than 10-15# in a tire, then it just runs. Put my thumb over the chuck opening and just get a moderate amount of pulsating pressure.

Anybody still out there who might have an idea? Like many others, I’ve gotten great service from the AS over about 15 years. Hate to “chuck” it; but don’t want to spend lots of time and money on a fix.

Cheers, y’all
