Tyre valve extensions (1 Viewer)

[Wild Brambles]

I have been watching some American videos, and one guy has an extension tube to help pump up the inner tyre on a 4 wheel axle. I thought that this was a great idea, but all the ones I can find are short ones to use on scooters. Has anyone used them, and do they help with the inflation of inner tyres?

Handy (under MH) spare wheel gizmo

My spare wheel is under my MH bang in the middle of the back half of the chassis so to check/inflate the tyre pressure is a nightmare, luckily I found these little gems to save me crawling underneath every time I do the job, which is frequently. Unfortunately one wasn't long enough to reach the...

Search 'tyre valve extension' on ebay.... Dozens of em.
But be warned a lot are rubbish and leak.
One set I bought for the RVs inner rears ripped out/smoothed out the thread when I tightened it to the valve...... And they only need to be finger tight.
I reckon the thread was moulded in using solder or plasticine .

I'm looking for some for my Merc twin wheeler. I has those big stainless trims. I want some so I can fit Tyrepal senders but all I can find have clumsy waiting-to-go-rusty brackets for the outer ends.

I used to have them on our RV, but there is a risk of them pulling rubber valves out. Much safer with metal valves.
