This tube in size 15.5-38 is designed for use in agricultural and industrial applications. It is ideal for tractors, trailers and work machines equipped with corresponding cross-ply or radial tyres. Thanks to its robust construction, the tube offers reliable airtightness and a long service life, even under high loads and continuous operation.
The tube is also compatible with tyres in size 400/75-38, providing additional flexibility for tyre fitment. The fitted TR218A valve is a proven standard for large agricultural and industrial tyres and makes inflating and deflating the tyre easier.
Technical data
- Tube size: 15.5-38
- Inch size: 38 inch
- also suitable for: 400/75-38
- Valve type: TR218A
Details on valve type TR218A
The TR218A valve is a special tube valve for large-volume agricultural and industrial tyres. It is designed to withstand high inflation pressures and heavy loads while allowing easy maintenance.
Typical features of the TR218A valve:
- Valve hole diameter: approx. 16 mm (standard for TR218A)
- Valve length: medium to long design, suitable for wide rim wells
- Design: straight metal valve with replaceable valve core
- Filling: suitable for air filling, also frequently used in systems with water filling (ballasting)
- Seal: rubber base with metal core for secure seating in the tube and good sealing
Benefits and application range
This 15.5-38 tube with TR218A valve is a reliable solution for:
- Agricultural machines such as tractors, slurry tankers and trailers
- Municipal and industrial machines with the corresponding tyre size
Benefits:
- High fitting accuracy for tyres 15.5-38 and 400/75-38
- Robust design for demanding use in the field and on construction sites
- Proven TR218A valve type for easy filling and maintenance
- Suitable for daily use under changing load and ground conditions
Thanks to the combination of a precisely matched tube size and a sturdy TR218A valve, this product offers a durable and economical solution for professional users in the agricultural and industrial sectors.
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.
