## Abstract

A highflow air coupling system is provided. The highflow air coupling system has a valve chamber housing having a plurality of openings including a user serviceable port and a reversible air flow valve. The interior of the valve chamber housing has a multi-tiered main valve with multiple large holes located on multiple levels. A unique exterior grip of the housing allows for easy grasping of the housing chamber. The device and system are especially suitable for use with, for example, inflating tires, especially in a military environment.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A high flow air coupling device comprising:
a housing having a top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, a second side and an interior;
a valve having a plurality of tiers having different diameters located within the interior of the housing wherein air flows through the valve;
a plurality of holes on at least two of the plurality of tiers of the valve wherein the plurality of holes on the plurality of tiers allows air flow to pass from within the valve to outside the valve;
an opening on the housing wherein air passing from within the valve passes out of the opening of the housing and through a tube to a tire;
a flat screw secured within an opening of the housing wherein the flat screw secures the valve within the interior of the housing and wherein the flat screw does not inhibit the flow of air within the housing;
wherein the diameters of the plurality of tiers increases the closer a tier is to the bottom of the housing; and
a movable handle secured to a pin wherein the movable handle controls the flow of air within the housing.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The high flow air coupling device of claim 1 further comprising:
a second opening on the housing wherein the second opening has a reverse air flow valve secured to the second opening.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The high flow air coupling device of claim 1 further comprising:
a gasket located between at least two of the plurality of tiers of the valve.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The high flow air coupling device of claim 3 further comprising:
a plurality of sealed chambers located within the interior of the housing wherein the plurality of sealed chambers is separated by the gasket with prevents air flow between the plurality of sealed chambers.
