Abstract
An adapter connects to a valve to convert the valve to a uniform configuration for connection to a pump. In one application, a conventional Schrader or Presta valve has an adapter to convert the valve to a uniform configuration for connection to a pump. An attachment head of a pump engages and creates a seal with the adapter and has a release mechanism to disengage the attachment head from the adapter.
