Frequently Asked Questions
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.

Product Overview
Tyre valves are critical for ensuring that your vehicle’s tires maintain optimal air pressure, contributing to both safety and performance. This category includes a comprehensive selection of tire valve stems, air valves, wheel valve fittings, and inflation valves designed for various applications, from passenger cars to light commercial vehicles and trailers. Each product is engineered to provide a reliable seal, easy inflation, and compatibility with standard rim holes, making them an indispensable part of any wheel system.
Key Features & Benefits
Our range of tire air stems and related fittings is constructed from robust materials such as rubber and metal, ensuring durability even under demanding conditions. Many options feature snap-in designs for quick installation, while high-pressure variants offer secure sealing for specialized needs. These air valves are designed to resist leaks, withstand high pressure, and simplify routine maintenance, helping you keep your tires in top condition for longer periods.
Selection Guide
When choosing the right wheel valve fitting, consider factors such as the type of vehicle, rim compatibility, and required pressure rating. Snap-in rubber valves are ideal for most passenger cars and light vehicles, while metal and angled designs cater to specific requirements like alloy wheels or confined spaces. Always select inflation valves that match your rim’s specifications and intended use to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Applications
Tyre valves and their synonyms are suitable for a broad range of vehicles, including cars, trailers, and light commercial vehicles. They are used in both tubeless and tube-based wheel systems, providing secure air retention and facilitating easy inflation and pressure checks. Whether for routine maintenance or professional installations, these products deliver the reliability and performance needed for safe driving.
