Tube 15.0/55-17 Valve TR218A
Product.Nr.: 990017119
Manufacturer: Novio
This 15.0/55-17 tube with valve type TR218A is designed for use in demanding industrial and garden applications. It is ideally suited for tyres in size 15.0/55-17 and as a replacement tube for tyres in size 380/55-17. Thanks to its robust construction, it provides reliable pressure retention and is suitable for applications with varying loads and surface conditions.
Technical data
- Tube size: 15.0/55-17
- Rim diameter: 17 inch
- Also suitable for: 380/55-17
- Valve type: TR218A
Valve-specific data (TR218A)
- Valve type: Agricultural and industrial air valve (tractor/implement valve)
- Design: Straight, serviceable valve with replaceable valve core
- Typical valve hole diameter: approx. 16 mm (for large valve holes in industrial and agricultural rims)
- Valve length above rim: approx. 38–45 mm (depending on version)
- Seal: Rubber base with additional locknut for secure fixation in the rim
- Operating pressure range: Designed for medium to high operating pressures in industrial and agricultural applications
Benefits and applications
This tube is a suitable solution for machines and vehicles equipped with tyres in size 15.0/55-17 or 380/55-17, for example in municipal technology, landscaping and grounds maintenance, or light industry. The TR218A valve type is specifically matched to larger rim holes and allows convenient inflation and deflation of the tyre.
Thanks to the robust valve design with locknut, the valve sits securely in the rim and is less susceptible to damage in daily operation. The tube supports reliable pressure retention, which contributes to smooth running characteristics and improved operational safety of the machine. It is suitable both as a replacement part and for original equipment in professional applications.
Frequently asked questions about this product
The valve designation describes two things: the stem diameter — which must fit the hole in the rim — and the shape, i.e. straight or angled.
Only the bore matters for a proper fit: a valve fits perfectly only if its stem matches the bore in the rim. Whether it is straight or angled makes no difference — that is a question of accessibility.
An overview of the types:
| Type | Shape | Bore | typically used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| TR13 | straight, rubber | 11.5 mm | Car and trailer wheels |
| TR4 / TR6 | straight, short | 11.5 mm | Small wheels, garden tools |
| TR15 | straight, rubber | 16 mm | Agricultural machinery, tractor rims |
| TR87 | 90° angled | 11.5 mm | Small wheels, solid rims |
| JS8 (DIN 7777) | 90° angled, same as TR87 | 11.5 mm | small wheels, solid rims |
| JS2 | Approx. 70° angled | 11.5 mm | Industrial and small wheels |
| V3-02-7 (TR75) | 100° single-bend metal angle valve with screw-on base | 12.2 mm | Commercial vehicles, lorries, trailers, agricultural and industrial machinery such as forklift trucks |
| V3-06-3 | Triple-bend brass truck screw-on valve (90°/139°/139°) | 9.7 mm | 20-inch truck and trailer tubes (6.00-20 to 9.00-20), also 22.5-inch tube-type tyres |
| TR218A | Straight metal air-water valve, two-piece | 15.9–16 mm | High-volume tubular tyres for agricultural and industrial use, tractors |
V3-02-7 in detail: Also known as ETRTO V3.02.7 and US designation TR75. Dimensions: Horizontal leg length 22.5 mm, vertical leg length 71.5 mm, total height approx. 91 mm. The valve base is screwed on, not pressed in — this makes it significantly more robust than a rubber valve.
V3-06-3 in detail: Also known as ETRTO V3.06.3. Triple-bend brass screw-on truck valve: the first bend is 90°, the other two 139° each — this guides the filling end past the rim flange and keeps it accessible even with twin tyres and deep rim wells. Leg dimensions approx. 20.5 / 46 / 20.5 / 47.5 mm (approx. 135 mm developed length), rim hole 9.7 mm. The valve is fastened to the tube with a sealing washer and nut instead of being vulcanised in. In our range on the 20-inch tubes 6.00/6.50-20, 7.00/7.50-20, 8.25-20 and 9.00-20.
TR218A in detail — the valve for water ballast: What makes this type special is the option for liquid ballasting: the hose is partially filled with water to increase the vehicle’s weight and thus improve traction — a common practice with tractors.
- Design: straight, robust metal valve, usually in two parts. Unscrewing the inner CH3 valve insert creates an extra-large opening — allowing for quick filling with air or liquid.
- Rim bore: 15.9 to 16 mm (0.625 inches).
- Length: typically around 38 to 48 mm total height above the rim.
- Mounting: a rubber base approximately 80 mm in diameter for vulcanising onto the inner tube, plus a lock nut for secure attachment to the rim.
Reducing sleeves: A TR15 valve does not fit into an 11.5 mm bore. Conversely, there are sleeves that allow a TR13 valve to fit into a 16 mm bore.
Whether straight or angled is not a question of fit, but of accessibility: with closed rims or small wheels, it is often impossible to reach the valve with a pump using a straight valve — in which case an angled one is used.
Not sure which valve is fitted? A photo of the old valve is all we need to identify it. Choose from: inner tubes, bead tapes and valves.
