Schrader valves

bo · Feb 8, 2009

Can't keep a schrader valve core from rotting out. I have calcium filled tires and the valve cores keep disintegrating. I've use every type I could find and they all fail, sooner or later. Anyone know of stainless ones? I went to the Schrader website and they do have a stainless but it's not listed under their "standard" cores.
Taking out the calcium is the last thing I want to do.

I remember reading a TSB from Firestone about this and what to use to prevent it. Don't remember what they said but maybe you could find it on their website. I just assume they are only going to last 5 years and replace them.

My superA book says add lime but how much?

Hello,
Maybe the is something wrong with your calcium. I have seen those valves last for years with calcium . the only time there is a problem is if it leaks, I have fixed small leaks with just a good steel valve cap with a rubber seal.
Good Luck Ed
