The Tire Valve Stem Video 

Lots to know about these little things and I always have good stock of the TR-413s. I love the random added videos you throw in all the time. Thanks again for yet another shout out and Mr Schrader would be proud.

well this answered every question I didn't have. so how do I find out what stem I need?

Spit on it brudda! That’s some awesome information about the often ignored valve stems. The only thing I could add is that if you get two rubbers with your metal valve stems don’t use one on the inside and one on the outside like I have done for years. I just watched a video to see if I could learn something about valve stems I learned that they give you two for different hole sizes. I picked up some information on your video as well. Thank you!

How can I tell what tire valve stem is installed? I recently had the rear tires replaced, but instead of matching the old valve stems they installed stems that are so short I can’t get an air chuck onto them once the trim ring is installed. The front tires have the old, correct length so I need to figure out what size they are so I can request them specifically at the shop.

Nice video the tip about using a bottle jack to break the bead will be handy.

Interesting! Note that painted steel trims are often rusting around the valve holes and that may cause slow leaks on tubeless tires. So it important to be really careful with the rim paint when replacing the valves.

Amazing timing - I had been searching amazon for the best reviews on a TR600HP type schrader. I'm replacing my 3500 RAM tires, which are load range "E" and rated up to 3195 lbs @ 80 psi (sidewall crack defect on the OEMS). Tire shops dont carry HP valves, so I am purchasing my own. Just as you point out, 65psi is the limit for snap-in. Incidentally, it seems easier to get a clamp-on type valve, as there seems to be a greater variety out there. One thing about clamp ons, if you have a recess or clear area on the rim to permit an external clamp on, get those. You must break the bead to install them, but you can retighten them while the tire is mounted - just in case they leak. This is the second time, Brian, that you've posted a video on a topic that I was actively researching. Last time was the gambrel roof. Thanks again for the videos.

Was NOT everything one needs to KNOW...they told me at pepboys they could not mount new tires because they lack having the old style smaller valve stems Damn it! I want to BUY them but can't fina ANYONE talking about the different diameters! What a waste of time THIS was

wheel wednesday😎 and this is the intro i was talking about, i like it👍

Nice work on this video!

Love your channel but just had to say that your narration is really cool. You have a really good voice for it

Very cool. We had some old farm equipment tires on bush hogs, the dodge ram couldn't even break the bead. We had to burn the tires off the rims, but it was fun trying.

Useful informative video

who would have thunk one could put so much information about valve stems in a 5 minute video

Nice

Where u get this valves?

Which valve stems would you keep stocked in a two bay shop that doesn't do tires in high volume, but does them seldom? I was told to stock 413s and 600hps. What would you stock Brian? I want to make sure I'll have everything I need. I've had instances where I've needed longer stems to achieve enough protrusion past hub caps, as well as that occasion where I've needed an even longer 418 stem. I also want to make sure I'm not stocking stems I'll never use. Thanks in advance.

I use a high lift jack on the hitch of my truck to break beads. Fat ass truck though

Snap-in and Clamp-on combined makes Snap-on haha! (freudian slip at 2:48).

nice

I just had one of those search the internet curiosity moments; who invented the core valve of the tire valve?

That’s great I just watched moe’s video before this 1.

Thanks for the vid Brian. Do you know if there are only 2 size holes on most rims and what size they may be ? I need to change out my valve stems to remedy a clearance issue when installing Centramatic wheel balancers and tire pressure monitoring units on my motor home with 19.5 in. rims. Always something to challenge what should be an easy job...see Murphy's Law ! J K

What size of Valvel stem on a RV LT225/75R16 can you help.. by the way, nice video

Instead of spit, try clear eyes.

Brian I gave you a thumbs up but much admit the spitting part kind of got to me, probably should not have watch it three times.

I don't know why, but I thought this video was going to be about the stems on valves(engine valves).

Even if it means spitting on it.

yey

I like the all metal ones because they don't flex when you're putting air in it. Seems like they'll last forever.
