Installing a valve stem is a critical step in maintaining proper tire pressure and ensuring the safe operation of a vehicle. A valve stem is a small, cylindrical component that connects the tire to the inner tube or tubeless tire and allows for the inflation and deflation of the tire.
Valve stems are typically made of rubber or metal and consist of a base, a stem, and a cap. The base of the valve stem is inserted into the tire, and the stem extends through the wheel rim. The cap is screwed onto the stem to seal the valve and prevent air from escaping.
