Does Trailer Wheel Valve Stem PSI Rating Refer to Cold Inflation

Question:

For valve stems that are rated for 80 psi, is that the cold inflate pressure? So say I have a tire that shows max inflation of 80#. Would a valve stem rated at 80# and cold inflation of the tire at 70 be ok?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes, a valve stem like the Americana # AM20904 that features a maximum tire pressure of 80 psi refers to its cold inflation rating. You can absolutely use a wheel with an 80 psi valve stem for a tire that has a maximum psi rating of 80.
