Flush Valve Stems

JPTHING · Mar 18, 2007

We were talking about flush valve stems, yesterday, and I have found some, so I figured I would let others know where to get them.

You don't want those! Buddy of mine tried them because he was afraid of tearing out a valve stem. It takes him around a HALF HOUR to air down his tires now

You want these

I've just installed a set. They are the bomb!

I drilled a second valve stem hole, and mounted these inboard or the normal hole, and use my original rubber stem to check the air as they are deflating. 32PSI to 3PSI in seconds, not minutes!

I think I will use the flush valves, and then I will drill a second hole as far in as possible, and use some deflators.

If you use the flush stems, make sure you get a second or third fill stem, cause if you lose the one you got you are SOL in a big way. Had a friend that had em and then they became useless when he lost the fill stem

Just remember that the flush stems are not a 4x accessory, but rather a hot-rod thing when those guys don't want to spoil the beauty of a $10k set of rims. However they only inflate them one time ever.

And for what it's worth, I wouldn't waste my money with them. If you only did one set, get the RADs. (Rapid Air Deflators) and install them. You'll thank me later.
