Correct 'double wall' -> 'deep section' as this seems to be what OP meant

Is there a trick to inflating a flat tire with thick double walldeep section rims?

I have a Schwinn floor air pump and its nozzle is the kind you push down and flip up the lever to connect. With a brand new inner tube installed I could not get it to connect with the valve as I have rims with double wallsa deep section, with these particular rims even inflated you only have the brass end of the valve showing.

Is there an easy way to inflate the tire with this set up?
