I've been using this air chuck on my air compressor for several years that does something similar. Barneyboy mentioned this. There are others and are referred to as an air chuck.

Most are familiar with the air chuck with a stationary chuck pin.
"That just seals well during usage. Still looses air during disconnect." - I was corrected. I also ordered two.

I have a Jaco chuck on my gauge/inflator.

I can verify there is zero air loss during disconnect.

Thanks! I do not have air on my ElectraGlide any longer, but I am looking for quality chuck. Does it go forward also? I just ordered two...

Mine is the dual 360°. I've yet to encounter a valve stem configuration that can't be accessed.

The one I linked is a 90* Jaco and the QR piece rotates 360*, but that dual 360* Barneyboy has is better IMO. Comes in handy for airing up the rear and front wheels. I can also confirm no hiss when released.
