Review on Colby Valve XL Emergency Stem by Ben Almasri

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Won't fit my metric valve stem bore

Won't fit my Yanmar wheel loader. The Colby XL tire valve is precisely designed for a 5/8" bore. I have a size 15 valve hole. Other Colby tire nipples seem to be designed for small rims like ATVs and trailers. I'm thinking of sharpening the brass part a bit to adjust to fit it in the hole as it has no part to ensure a tight seal.This would be appropriate if the tire valve size described for the excavator wheel matches the wheel valve hole size UP TO 5/8". This is a great product, if it fits.All tire valve holes on heavy machinery are non-standard.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Skinny
