Tire Valve Stem extension hoses

Have been searching for replacement hoses for my dual wheels with the correct length and end fittings. So far without success. I want to choose the length and fittings. Where is a good source of quality hoses?

    I have read of many folks having nothing but issues with those extension hoses.. Personal expierence was not good

    I have a nice new set of DUALLY VALVES still in the package.. Will open it a week from Tuesday at Belle Tire (Tires already paid for). These are. I believe, Replacement valve stems.. NOT extensions.. custom made for YOUR RV.
  • Many on this forum have used Tire-man for dually valve stems. Purchased mine many years ago - no leaks - great product.
  • X2 on the solid valve stems. Best money I've spent on my RV. Knock on wood, I have't had to add air to my tires since installing them over two years ago.
  • I had good luck at NAPA. The ones for the duals on the Newmar (supposed to be same as Chevy & Ford duallys) are p/n 90-330. In August '17 it was $98 for 4 of them.

    Bought new straight solid extensions from a truck tire dealer when I purchased new tires through the FMCA / Michelin tire program.

    I did the same thing. Over the 14 years I've owned my DP I've had nothing but problems with the extensions, even after replacing them! Lots of leaks, lots of adding air every few weeks. Now I have solid stems on all the tires. No problems since.
  • Can't help you with length but for quality, I use these:

  • I went with complete new valve stems to make life easier for me to add air to the inner dual wheel and front tires. Bought the complete set and had them installed at the local truck tire store for $100 labor

  • I ponied up at my RV service place and got $100 ones and paid to have them installed.

    I found them on Amazon for half that. I think Phoenix.

    I just can’t crawl around under the coach anymore

    A custom semi chrome shop should have them.

    You want them made in the US.
