Autotecnica Tire Valve Cap
A vehicle tire part which is an air check that opens under air pressure and closes when pressure is removed is the tire valve cap. A vehicle's tire inner valve acts as a check valve for the air pressure and the positive sealing is then provided by the valve cap. Autotecnica has introduced a tire valve cap that contains a soft rubber washer or a gasket, which presses against the end of the valve stem that seals the air into the tire. A vehicle's tire valve is indeed a very important maintenance item when it comes to keeping the inflation air in the tires. A valve is ordinarily a rubber that can deteriorate in time, and should be replaced if a vehicle owner will buy new tires for his vehicle. And when a vehicle owner is at high speeds, it is possible to have a cracked and deteriorated rubber valve stem, which can bend from centrifugal force then allow air loss. And likewise the Autotecnica valve cap is also a very important item. It helps keep out moisture that could freeze and results to depress valve core, thus causing loss of air. A good quality valve cap like the Autotecnica valve cap contains the inflation air and keeps out dust and dirt particles that can interfere with the proper operation of the valve core and can cause loss of air. Having a careless practice of operating tires without the Autotecnica valve cap should not be indeed followed. Without the valve cap in place, there would be a slow leak of air from the vehicle's tire that could cause the tire to run an under inflated condition. If then it happens that the air leak out around the base of the valve, it is necessary to install a new tire valve assembly for the vehicle. This can be easily and fast accomplished using a special lever type tool.
