Polished Brass Tyre Valve, Specialities : Investment Casting, Durable

Design and Construction

• Brass Construction:Brass is commonly used for the body of tyre valves due to its corrosion resistance and durability. The Brass body helps prevent rust and degradation caused by exposure to the elements.
• Valve Core:Inside the valve, there is a valve core that can be unscrewed to allow air to flow in or out of the tyre. When the valve core is tightened, it creates an airtight seal, preventing air from escaping.
• Valve Cap:Tyre valves usually come with a valve cap that protects the valve core from dirt, moisture, and debris. The valve cap also helps maintain the integrity of the valve’s sealing mechanism.
• Valve Stem:The valve stem is the portion of the valve that extends outside the tyre, allowing easy access for attaching an air pump or gauge.

Types

There are different types of Brass tyre valves designed for various applications:

• Schrader Valve:This is a common valve type used in most automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles. It features a spring-loaded valve core and is typically used with a variety of air pumps and gauges.
• Presta Valve:Commonly found in bicycles, especially road bikes, the Presta valve has a narrower profile and requires a specific pump head for inflation.

Advantages of Brass Tyre Valve

• Corrosion Resistance:Brass is resistant to corrosion and oxidation, making it well-suited for outdoor and automotive applications.
• Durability:Brass is a robust material that can withstand the rigors of road conditions, weather, and repeated usage.
• Airtight Seal:The valve’s design, including the valve core and cap, ensures a reliable and airtight seal, preventing air leakage.
