Dually valve stem?

[93 1TON]

I was at a red light today and saw a dually with some kind of braided hose connected to the valve stem. I have a slow leak on my outside tire and it's very tough to put air in it because the stem points in. Does anyone know what this hose is that I saw? Rich

The hose you saw connects both the rear tires to one valve, thata way both tires are at the same pressure, and makes it easy to reach the valve.

I have them for my truck, the style I found is a separate hose for each stem. They mount to the dually center cap, there are some that spring clip into the hand holes of the rim. I found mine at a RV store so they should be easy to find in your area too.



PS make sure that your rims use metal valve stems, be cause the hoses will pull the stem out of the rubber type valve stems.

Thanks guys, I've been trying to figure out an easy way to get air to the inside tire. Rich

I was just at Camping World yesterday and noticed all sorts of extenders for duals. They had 90's, 45's, straight extenders, braided extenders and more. I have the braided extenders on mine and they work great. Check them out!
