Valve too Deeo (1 Viewer)

[Marmite]

Fitting TPMS today and the Schraeder valve on the NSF is too deep for the TPMS to open the valve. On inspection it is set deeper than the other valves and the TPMS button went straight on these with a little gassing...no such thing on the NSF.

Any suggestions on how to fix this please.

Complete new valve, can't see any option.

Looks like it's a visit to the tyre depot to get the valve reset so more is showing. They'll probably need to remove the tyre.

Edit. As pappajohn said, might need a new valve the correct length to match the others.

Thanks for the replies.

The valve exterior is the same length as the other 3, it's just the Schraeder valve insert is set lower. Must only be a couple of mm ... It's just noticeable.

They might be able to get away with a new inner valve .They do come in different lengths. They just unscrew & screw in a new longer one-

I've seen these before and wondered if they would be any good. Never tried them though.

I see Halfords also do them but it's a longer length.

Sorry, good shout if I had problems reaching the valve, but my issue is that the core is too deep in the stem so the release valve doesn't trigger when I put the TPMS sensor on. Three tyres OK, and tried those sensors on this one just in case it was an issue with the particular sensor, but to no avail. Essentially, the central button in the core is too low for the sensor to open the valve when fitted, thus it does not open up the air flow.

I can just get enough on whern I am pumping the yres up, but it isn't as easy on this tyre than the other 3
