It threads onto a standard stem and gives your chuck a fast, positive connection point for every air-down and air-up afterwards - the small change that makes tyre pressure work feel like part of the system rather than a fiddle. Sets of 4 and 5 include the installation tool and decal; the single valve does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrivers keeping standard valve stems but wanting quicker, surer air connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular air-down users tired of cross-threaded chucks and leaky part-connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-corner setups, with the set of 5 covering a spare as well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: APEX Design USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Rapid connect valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: X02-02-009 (set of 4); X02-02-021 (set of 5); X02-02-015 (single)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded Items: Sets include installation tool and decal; single valve does not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuyer Checks: Valve stem tips must be in perfect condition before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment And Setup Checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore installing, check the tips of your existing valve stems for imperfections - the stem end must be in perfect condition for the RCV to seal. If a valve leaks after installation, remove it, file the stem tip square and flat, apply 3 to 4 wraps of PTFE tape to the stem threads and refit. Buying a single RCV? It comes without the installation tool, so plan for that or order the tool separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAPEX Design USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRapid connect valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX02-02-009 (4); X02-02-021 (5); X02-02-015 (single)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard valve stems (tip condition critical)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstall tool and decal with sets of 4 and 5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the valve stem tip condition matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RCV seals against the stem tip.
