I believe that when you maintain your car, you will usually see an inflation hole on the tire. This hole is the tire valve. Although this part is small, it has a very large effect. The function of this valve is to prevent the gas in the tire from leaking out, and manual control can also be used to inflate or deflate. However, in the process of maintenance in daily life, the valve must be replaced regularly to reduce the potential safety hazards we encounter. What are the main types of tire valves?
1. Rubber valve
Nowadays, most of the valves are made of rubber, so they are prone to aging. If you just replace the tires and ignore the valve, once the valve is aging, it will increase the risk of car driving. Because the rubber material used in this valve will crack and not have the previous elasticity. Once the valve is deformed during driving, it will speed up the aging of the valve. Usually, the life of this kind of rubber nozzle is the same as that of the tire, and it must be replaced in about 3-5 years.
2. Metal valve
Compared with the service life of the rubber Tire Valves, the metal valve is introduced on the market. Since the cost of this material is higher, the price will be more expensive than that of the rubber material. However, its service life is 2-3 times longer, because the metal material has stronger oxidation resistance and better sealing ability.
The above is the introduction of the valve material. Rubber and metal valves have their own advantages. The price of the former is cheaper, and the quality and life of the latter are better. The choice is mainly based on the user's own needs. To be replaced on time to ensure everyone's driving safety.
