Air-Lock

We have found that the thread of different liners can vary widely, some are extremely sloppy and some are extremely tight with our new solid pin. To help securely install the pins in liners we created a locking feature on the pin threads. Unfortunately the threads of some liners may be even tighter than we realized, making the new pins extremely difficult to install in some cases. These new pins may need to be installed using an 11mm or 7/16” wrench. The last thread will be the most difficult to thread in as it “locks” in place.If you feel you have a pin that will not thread into the liner please contact Coyote immediately.Even with this feature we still recommend using Loctite 262 during installation. If threading into a liner with a plastic distal adapter Loctite Primer 7649 should also be used.We have already adjusted the thread size but these smaller threads are not in wide circulation yet. We apologize for this issue, if you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact us.

Two years ago we were having a variety of issues with that product that led to the development of the Suction Lock. While the Suction Lock is still a good product, the differences are not significant enough compared to the latest Air-Lock. Compared to the Suction Lock , the Air-Lock features include:
