Faster air-down without taking the tyres off your wheels
The Rapid Connect Valve is an accessible way to make airing down easier. Remove the existing valve core, screw the RCV onto the stem and you have a permanent slide valve for releasing air. You can make the change in the driveway without removing the tyre from the wheel.
Available SKUs: X02-02-009, X02-02-021, X02-02-015
A simple change you will use on every trail trip
Slide the valve to release air and close it at your chosen pressure. Allow approximately two minutes to take four 35 in tyres from 30 psi to 15 psi, including the walk from the driver's seat and back. That gives you a useful picture of a full air-down stop at those pressures.
Use the APEX Precision Pressure Gauge to monitor the pressure you want. If you are choosing between installation approaches, the Rapid Precision Valve replaces the wheel's valve stem instead of screwing onto the existing one.
Start with a sound valve-stem tip
The RCV seals against the existing valve stem, so its tip needs to be flat, square and undamaged. The fitting guidance explains inspecting that surface and correcting imperfections before installation. Check for leaks afterwards rather than tightening onto a damaged edge.
Choose the right pack
Sets of four and five include an installation multi-tool and Time to Deflate decal. The single RCV does not include either item; buying several singles does not turn them into a set with those accessories. The RCV installation tool and replacement Schrader cap are also available separately for service or replacement.

APEX benchmark
Approximately two minutes for four 35 in tyres, 30 to 15 psi, driver-seat to driver-seat
No. The RCV screws onto the existing valve stem after the valve core is removed.
Does the single valve include a tool?
No. The installation tool and decal are supplied with sets of four or five, not the single-valve option.
What if I buy four singles?
They remain four single-valve purchases and do not include the set's tool or decal. Choose the set of four if you want that supplied combination.
What should I check if it leaks after installation?
Inspect the existing valve-stem tip. Follow the fitting guide's surface-correction and sealing steps, then check the connection for leaks.
