Question:
I HAVE AN ALL STEEL VALVE ON MY TIRE. I CAN NOT EITHER CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE WITH MY GAUGE OR SEND AIR INTO THE TIRE. I CAN LET AIR OUT. ARE STEEL VALVES STRANGE ?
asked by: JIM
Expert Reply:
Since steel valve stems are not very flexible, it can at times be difficult to add air or find the room for a tire gauge to be able to fit.
I recommend adding an extension like part # WM802990. The extenders are made of nickel-plated brass and feature a 90 degree bend that allows easier access for adding air or using a tire gauge.
For a valve extender with a 45 degree bend I recommend part # WM8029. Both of these extenders screw onto your existing valve stem.
