2 piece valve stems

Recommended Posts

Indy w h

Alrighty my fellow WHers as you know I've acquired a 603 a while back. Well thanks to a few good friends they found me a gas tank at the big show!! (you know who you are AND THANKS AGAIN !!!!!!. Well I took off the front tires and to my surprise they have 2 piece valve stems. So my question is how many horses have these?? And was this an option for fluid in the tires?? All info is greatly appreciated !!!

Oh yeah I about forgot about another GOOD buddy of mine who out of the goodness of his heart gave me 1 set of BF Goodrich 6-12 turf tires and 2 sets of 6-12 ags that just happened to have the 2 piece valve stems on them !!! ( you know who you are !!! And THANKS AGAIN !!!!

Indy...the pictures I took of those stems is blurry...I had wrong setting on camera. sorry about that. :thumbs:

My feeling is ...it is a design idea to keep the valve stem from slipping or shifting inside the tire and thus keeping the stem in place. :D

Some AG rims used water valves for calcium or anti freeze solutions to add ballast to the tire/wheel assemblies. The valve in the photo you posted is not a water valve but looks like a TR501 commercial valve (hard to tell with that photo). You can still put water in them.

You need those valves if you have a steel wheel with a .625 hole. If you have the tire off the wheel, it's best practice to replace them as the rubber grommets harden over time. They are not expensive.

If you remove the valve from the wheel and take another photo (hold camera a tad further away) and I can tell you exactly what valve and purpose it has. It's hard to tell from that photo. Can you remove the schrader bushing to revel a larger fill hole on the stem? If so, and it has the brass nut, then you do in fact have the air/water TR618A (or B ) valve.

It's hard to tell from the fuzzy pic, but I think both my 400s and my RJ-58 all have that type valves on all four rims.
