English term or phrase: nozzle

of a tire gauge. "Push the nozzle onto the tire valve." I'm unsure of the correct translation within this context. Would "Düse" suffice?

Ventilkopf

Explanation:
Nicht jede Pumpe ist für alle Fahrradventile geeignet. Dem kann durch Aufschrauben von Adaptern oder durch Universalpumpen, die verschiedene Ventilköpfe haben, begegnet werden.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luftpumpe

Anmerkung: Mundstück ist schon besser als Düse, aber der fachmännische Ausdruck lautet Ventilkopf.

Note: "nozzle" is misleading. It's better to speak of adapters.

A bicycle pump is a type of positive-displacement pump specifically designed for inflating bicycle tires. It has a connection or adapter for use with one or both of the two most common types of valves used on bicycles, Schrader or Presta.
