TR542 Nickel O-Ring Clamp-In Truck Valve Stem 1.25" Straight - 1 Valve
The TR542 is a 1.25" compact straight nickel-plated O-ring sealed clamp-in truck tire valve stem rated to 150 PSI. Designed for commercial trucks with 0.382" valve holes, the O-ring seal delivers an airtight fit on aluminum wheels without relying solely on the nut torque.
- Height: 1.25" (1-1/4") straight for shallow valve pockets on 0.382" hole truck wheels.
- Valve Hole: 0.382" — fits aluminum truck and trailer wheels with smaller valve openings.
- Pressure Rating: 150 PSI max cold inflation pressure.
- Seal: O-ring sealed for an airtight installation on aluminum wheels.
- Cross-Reference: TV-542, 1-501, 24235, VS-542, 17-542, 5629806.
Q: What valve hole size does the TR542 require?
The TR542 requires a 0.382" valve hole, found on many aluminum truck and trailer wheels from manufacturers like Alcoa and Accuride.
Q: What is the O-ring seal for?
The O-ring creates a positive airtight seal between the valve body and the wheel, preventing leaks that can occur when relying on nut torque alone on aluminum wheel surfaces.
Q: What is the pressure rating?
Rated to 150 PSI max cold inflation pressure for commercial truck and heavy equipment applications.
Q: How is the TR542 different from the TR552?
Both are 1.25" straight 0.382" stems but they are different series with different cross-references. Check your OEM documentation or cross-reference guide to confirm the correct replacement.
Q: What cross-references match the TR542?
The TR542 cross-references to TV-542, 1-501, 24235, VS-542, 17-542, and 5629806.
