I have a portable tire inflator w/chuck-lock for valve stem. Can this valve stem be Locked to the chuck, &amp; screwed onto the tire stem?

Sure, I don't know why you wouldn't just leave it on and lock it on as it is though.

It must spin freely so you can screw it onto the valve stem without the adapter getting tangled up in the bicycle spokes. Works great for me.

No it does not - the chuck needs to be held on the tire valve for the needle to remain in position. With this gauge it's easiest to over-inflate a bit and then use the built-in bleed valve to get to the desired pressure.

There are threaded fittings on both ends of the inflator for the hoses. The unit comes with a quick-connect coupling but this can be removed. If your portable inflator hose has a 1/4" connection, I can't see why this unit wouldn't work just fine for you. As for the connection to the tire, there is a push-on/clip connection that has worked well for me though when brand new, you may have to apply some pressure to get a total seal. I sprayed some silicone lubricant in the inflator to improve the seal. BTW, the guauge goes to 180 PSI/12 bar, not 50 as the specs say.

You can get adaptor to go on valve stem so you can fill air anywhere. Adaptor at any bike shop one dollar.

You could probably to it with a ball inflation pin. Whatever you want to use to speed the process will need to open the safety valve inside the inflation stem.

There is a schrader valve near the tank pressure gauge. A standard auto type tire chuck will fit the filler valve.

with the model 506 you have to push the chuck against the tire valve and hold it on while filling the tire. The model 516 chuck has internal threads that hold it on the tire valve while filling.

No you cannot install these valve stems without breaking the bead on the tire. The central part of the valve must go from the inside to the outside of the wheel.

Although the valve of the pump would screw onto a standard tire "stem valve" the relatively small amount of air that the pump itself displaces would not be an efficient way of putting air into your tire. It is absolutely great for the intended purpose of putting air into air shocks, but would be frustrating to use on tires.

Not sure what kind of clamp-on connector your unit has, but if it's designed to work with an ordinary threaded valve stem it should work with the Topeak which has the same threads as a valve stem. Just need to be sure the clamping mechanism fits in the space around the tire rim/spokes after you've attached the Topeak L-adapter.

Yes, the inflator end, consisting of a braided hose and the clip-on receptacle for the tire stem, attaches to the body with what appears to be a threaded 1/8" NPT connection - a standard hardware store fitting. The other end (at the air supply hose) is a 1/4" NPT female with a quick disconnect.

Not if you connect it right. You need to press the lever firmly and then push the chuck over the tire stem and then release the lever. There is a rubber o-ring in the chuck that seals it against the stem and the catch controlled by the arm keeps it tight. I've used it a lot on bike tubes and never had it leak when I put it on right.

I had the same issue. It's not able to press the pin in your tire valve. I had to buy this to make it work Topeak Pressure-Rite Anti-Air Loss Connector

That's the size tire I have on my trailer, the stem is offset about 30 degrees, has worked fine. But remember to inflate after mounting, deflate completely while holding on to the valve stem (remove core) and re-inflate while still holding stem, so tube will be inflated in that position.

I couldn't get the angled valve stem into the skuut wheel. Maybe if you cut out a little more wood in the wheel. That's too bad, since the straight stem tubes are so hard to get a pump to.

Yes, it bolts to one of the bolts on the hub then then air line screws onto the valve stem. I hope that helped.
