Valve Stem Extensions

[stustoner]

Good afternoon. all....I need to get some valve stem extensions for my inner rear wheels so that I can put a TPMS system on them.....I want to keep them as short as possible so I am looking at about a 3/4" length.
Any recommendations?
TIA

Go to a local tire shop, our local shop has a drawer full of different sized extensions. They also advised strongly against the braided type soft extensions and hooked me up with some solid metal ones. Cost me $25 and they removed the tires, installed them, and checked for leaks

I had metal extensions on the front that would loosen up and leak after a period of time. I was on the verge of adding Loctite to prevent them from loosening but ended up removing them when I installed my TPMS caps. I did have to bend in the wheel cover just a bit in the area around the valve to give me the access I needed. I felt better doing this than putting the TPMS caps on extensions. So far, so good.

I have braided hose extensions in the rear that woek great. Didn;t have to add anything there for the TPMS. Don't have any leakage problems once I tightened them a second time to the tire valve.

For $25? Wow, put them on your Christmas card list!

Wheel Master makes extensions for RV’s. I used them on my Class A, worked great. Amazon has them, as well as Camping World.
