Abstract: An inflation valve fitting adapted for use with the typical inflation valve assembly found on large inflatable articles. The fitting allows inflation of articles using a conventional air hose with and end piece used to inflate tires, such as the air hoses available at most gasoline service stations. The fitting includes a body member having one threaded end and the other end being closed except for a small central opening. An auxiliary inflation valve, such as those used on automobile tires, has an enlarged section that frictionally engages the interior of the body member and a smaller terminal end that extends through the central opening. The terminal end selectively receives the end piece of the conventional air hose to rapidly and conveniently inflate the large inflatable article.
