AIRHEAD AHP-12HP 12 Volt High Pressure Air Pump for Towables, Alligator Clip Battery Hookup
The AIRHEAD AHP-12HP is a 12 volt high pressure air pump built for inflating towables, boats, and rafts to their proper working pressure. It moves 410 liters of air per minute and reaches a maximum pressure of 2.5 psi, well beyond what an ordinary 12 volt pump can produce. Because it draws 28 amps and 340 watts, it is too powerful to run from a standard cigarette lighter outlet, so it connects instead directly to a car, truck, or boat battery using the included alligator clips and 10 foot power cord. This makes it easy to inflate large items streamside, at the dock, or in the driveway without needing to run the pump off a vehicle's accessory outlet.
A removable pressure release valve limits output to 1.4 psi, which is the correct inflation pressure for towable tubes, preventing overinflation while still allowing full pressure for other uses when the valve is removed. Air travels through a 21 inch hose that is reinforced with PVC coils for durability and resistance to kinking. The pump ships with adapters for Stem, Boston, Leafield, Bravo, Hulkey Roberts, and other popular inflation valves, so it works across most towables, pool floats, airbeds, and inflatable boats. A molded carry handle keeps the unit easy to transport and store. The AHP-12HP is finished in yellow and measures 8 inches long by 7 inches wide by 6 inches high.
