Valve Core FAQ Section
What is the average lifespan of your valve core?
Our premium valve cores typically last 2-3 years under normal operating conditions, significantly longer than standard valve cores which usually require replacement every 6-12 months. The extended lifespan is achieved through our high-quality Viton rubber seal and nickel-plated brass construction that resists corrosion and wear.
How do I know if my valve core needs replacement?
Common signs of a failing valve core include slow air leaks (noticeable pressure drop over days), difficulty maintaining proper inflation, visible corrosion on the core, or hissing sounds when the valve is depressed. For optimal performance, we recommend inspecting valve cores during routine tire maintenance and replacing them at the first sign of these symptoms.
Detailed Product Features
- Precision Machined: CNC manufactured for perfect fit and consistent performance
- Double Sealing: Features both primary and secondary seals for maximum leak protection
- Universal Fit: Compatible with TR-415, TR-418, and most standard valve stems
- Anti-Clog Design: Specialized internal channel prevents dirt accumulation
- Easy Installation: Can be replaced using standard valve core tools
Applications
- Automotive tires (passenger vehicles, trucks, RVs)
- Industrial machinery
- HVAC systems
- Medical gas equipment
- Compressed air systems
Can your valve cores be used with nitrogen inflation systems?
Yes, our valve cores are specifically designed to work perfectly with both compressed air and nitrogen inflation systems. The Viton rubber seals maintain their elasticity and sealing properties even under pure nitrogen environments, unlike standard rubber seals that may degrade faster with nitrogen. The nickel plating also prevents corrosion that can occur with moisture in some nitrogen systems.

Installation Guide
- Deflate the tire completely by depressing the valve core
- Use a valve core tool to remove the old core (turn counterclockwise)
- Inspect the valve stem threads for damage
- Insert the new valve core and tighten clockwise (hand tight plus 1/4 turn)
- Re-inflate the tire to recommended pressure
- Test for leaks with soapy water solution
