Product.Nr.: 990017338
Manufacturer: Novio
This 500/60-22.5 tube with TR218A valve is designed for demanding industrial and agricultural applications. Its robust construction makes it ideal for machines and equipment fitted with wide low-pressure tyres. The tube is not only designed for size 500/60-22.5, but can also be used in tyres of size 550/60-22.5, providing additional flexibility in use.
Technical data
- Tube size: 500/60-22.5
- Inch size: 22.5 inch
- also suitable for: 550/60-22.5
- Valve type: TR218A
Valve type TR218A – properties
The TR218A valve is a common valve for high-volume tyres in agriculture and industry. It is designed for tube-type tyres with high air volume and usually lower operating pressure, and allows convenient inflation as well as secure retention of air pressure.
Typical features of the TR218A valve:
- Valve hole diameter: approx. 16 mm (designed for large-diameter rim valve holes)
- Valve length: medium to long design, facilitates access to the valve even with wide rims
- Design: straight valve with sturdy metal body and screw-on valve cap
- Application area: specially for high-volume agricultural, industrial and flotation tyres
- Pressure range: for low to medium operating pressures, as typically used with wide low-pressure tyres
Benefits and application area
The 500/60-22.5 tube with TR218A valve is ideal for heavy-duty use where high load capacity and good soil protection are required. Typical applications include:
- Agricultural trailers, slurry tankers and harvest wagons
- Industrial trailers and special-purpose vehicles
- Machines and equipment with flotation or wide tyres
Thanks to its compatibility with sizes 500/60-22.5 and 550/60-22.5, this tube is particularly suitable for operators who have different but similar tyre dimensions in their fleet and wish to optimise their stockholding. The robust TR218A valve ensures reliable airtightness and makes inflation and pressure checks easier, even under tough operating conditions.
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.
