Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does the chrome sleeve on the TR413C add over the standard TR413?
The chrome sleeve is a polished metal collar over the rubber body. It gives a bright chrome finish suited for custom and show wheels, and limits direct rubber-to-metal contact at the valve hole seat. All dimensions and performance specs are identical to the standard TR413.
What size valve hole and length does the TR413C use?
The TR413C fits a 0.453-inch (11.5mm) valve hole at a 1-1/2-inch overall length, identical to the TR413. The chrome sleeve does not change the fit or sealing dimensions.
What is the TR413C made of?
EPDM synthetic rubber body with a polished chrome sleeve, conforming to SAE J1205/J1206 standards. The chrome-plated brass Schrader core comes pre-installed.
Can the TR413C be used on TPMS-equipped wheels?
No. TPMS sensors require a dedicated TPMS valve stem. If you need a chrome finish on a TPMS wheel, a chrome TPMS-specific stem is the correct choice.
How often should valve stems be replaced?
OEM guidelines recommend replacing rubber valve stems every time new tires are mounted. Rubber degrades from ozone exposure, heat cycling, and age, which can cause slow leaks even when the tire itself is fine.
