Schrader Valves
Schrader valves, often referred to as American valves, are a brand of pneumatic tyre valve used on nearly all vehicles across the globe. The word ‘Schrader’ derives from August Schrader who created the tool in 1844. As well as cars, they can also be used on bicycle tyres and have a ‘poppet valve’ design which is assisted by a spring.

Schrader valves have a wide number of uses. They are often used on air conditioning and refrigeration systems to allow servicing. However, their main purpose is to seal high pressure containers.

Other Valves & Tools
Suppliers of specialist tyre maintenance and repair tools can provide a wide range of valves to suit your tyre’s needs and requirements. Tubeless valves are designed for all tubeless motor and bicycle tyres. All tyre valves can become damaged by dirt or get worn out if the tyre or motor is being used frequently, so it’s a good idea to replace them regularly.

When fitting your new valve, ensure you have the right tools for the job. Specialist websites offer these tools at affordable prices. Handy four-in-one valve tools ...

Double ended valves keys are ideal tools for tyre fitting. These plastic ended keys have one end for larger, commercial tyre valves and another for all other standard tyre valves. These convenient tools are ergonomically designed, compact and easy to use.

Tyre Pressure Monitors
Tyre pressure monitor sensors are electronic systems designed to monitor tyre air pressure. These days, tyre pressure has a large influence on the safety and efficiency of motor vehicles. When first designed, tyre pressure monitoring systems were a luxury, optional feature mainly used on higher end, expensive cars, but nowadays they are important diagnostic equipment for all vehicles.

Tyre pressure monitoring systems are essential for ensuring your tyres maintain the correct air pressure. Under-inflated tyres force cars to use more fuel and are the cause of many motoring accidents. Maintaining the correct pressure in your tyres ensures they last longer and adds higher quality stability, handling and braking efficiencies, providing a safer, enjoyable driving experience.

Many online suppliers of specialist tyre parts and tools offer a wide selection of tyre pressure monitors. Take a look today and ensure your car is safe and efficient.
