Cutting-edge technology for the most extreme demands.
Completely pressure-free & shatterproof!
Structure of air-flexx® Tire Valve Extensions:
air-flexx® tire valve extensions are constructed in multiple layers. From inside to outside, they consist of:
• Remote control with stainless steel metal core
• Air tube
• Stainless steel casing
• Protective sleeve
Thanks to the highest quality materials, air-flexx® valve extensions are "flexible," making them break-proof and extremely durable. At the same time, air-flexx® valve extensions are rigid yet firm enough to be used without rim holders (see test video). air-flexx® valve extensions ensure 100% that the air pressure of inner dual tires can be checked at any time without problems.
air-flexx® tire valve extensions are available:
• For inner dual tires
• For front and single wheels with hubcaps
• For spare wheels
Avoid repair downtime
air-flexx® tire valve extensions reduce workshop and downtime.
Since a deviation of only 0.6 bar from the ideal air pressure reduces the tire's lifespan by approximately 45 percent, the commercial vehicle would have to go to the workshop almost twice as often as necessary just for tire changes in such a case.
If an accident occurs due to low tire pressure, the vehicle will be out of service for an extended period, and additional repair costs will be incurred!
Avoid flat tires – check tire pressure
Typical Damage to Valve Stem Extensions
Vehicles with hubcaps
Here it is necessary to remove the hubcap to check the tire pressure. Therefore, the tire pressure on such vehicles is very rarely checked. With air-flexx® valve extensions, checking the tire pressure with the hubcap on is conveniently possible.
Check tire pressure – with the hubcap on
Vehicles with twin tires
Regular tire pressure checks on inner twin tires often cannot be carried out because plastic, brass, or hose valve extensions are either broken off or missing. A greater risk of accident and higher tire wear are the consequences.
Disadvantages of plastic valve extensions
Plastic valve extensions are rigid and therefore break off easily if foreign bodies get between the twin tires or if the valve extension is not precisely guided through a rim hole during the mounting of the outer twin wheel. Due to thermal influence, they quickly become brittle and fragile. If valve extensions are broken, the pressure of the inner twin tire can no longer be checked!
Disadvantages of rubber hose valve extensions
Rubber hose valve extensions can only be used with rim holders. If the valve extension detaches from the rim holder, it chafes through the rim hole and the air pressure completely escapes from the tire. A flat tire in a few seconds and tire damage are inevitable. In addition, rubber hose extensions become porous due to natural aging, and a creeping loss of air is often the consequence – here, too, there is a risk of accident! With air-flexx® valve extensions, you are on the safe side
air-flexx® combines the advantages of commercially available plastic and rubber hose valve extensions.
air-flexx® valve extensions are pressureless, so there is no risk of a flat tire. They are flexible and of very high quality, so there is no risk of breakage. This allows the tire pressure to be checked at any time.
How many defective valve extensions do you find in your fleet?
Can the air pressure of the inner twin tires be checked on all vehicles in your fleet? Spot checks at depots and highway rest areas have shown that many commercial vehicles are on the road with defective valve extensions – and therefore probably also with incorrect tire pressure. Check your vehicles yourself!
Many accidents can be avoided
Serious accidents due to tire blowouts
Statistics prove it: Tire blowouts in commercial vehicles repeatedly lead to serious accidents!
Collisions with vehicles that have broken down or gone out of control often have fatal consequences. By preventing tire blowouts, the number of these accidents can be significantly reduced.
Around 15% of all tire blowouts occur due to sudden, severe tire damage caused by external influences. The remaining 85% are preceded by a gradual loss of pressure, which, especially in commercial vehicles, is usually not noticed by the driver unless he regularly checks the air pressure of all tires. Due to increased flexing of the tires, the "soft" tire overheats excessively and can reach temperatures of up to 130 °C in the area of the carcass (the tire's substructure), which in the worst case leads to the tire bursting. Another cause of tire blowouts: Damaged rubber hose tire valve extensions can cause a sudden loss of pressure in the inner dual tire. air-flexx® valve extensions significantly facilitate regular air pressure checks for inner dual tires and for single wheels with hubcaps. In addition, their design offers excellent protection against damage. With air-flexx® valve extensions, you can significantly minimize the risk of a tire blowout.
Low tire pressure – an expensive pleasure
Save money with air-flexx® tire valve extensions
With air-flexx® tire valve extensions, fleets can save a lot of money!
Millions of euros are lost annually due to low tire pressure.
Especially with dual tires, checking the air pressure of the inner tires is very unpopular: It is time-consuming, dirty, and tedious. Therefore, these tires are often not checked. If the valve extensions are defective or missing, checking is often not possible at all.
air-flexx® valve extensions pay for themselves after only a few thousand kilometers:
They significantly simplify checking and correcting tire pressure. The consequences of improper tire pressure are far-reaching:
• unnecessary tire damage / blowouts!
• higher tire wear
• more repairs• longer repair downtimes
• higher fuel consumption
• unnecessary costs due to vehicle downtime

air-flexx® Valve Extensions
Multi-layer construction for a long service life
Structure and Sectional View
Due to their multi-layered construction, air-flexx® valve extensions have many advantages over conventional valve extensions: They are flexible, yet rigid enough to be used without a rim holder (exception: air-flexx® 315 mm, 415 mm and 1000 mm). The material is extremely resilient and will not become brittle during the normal lifespan of a tire - and far beyond. air-flexx® valve extensions ensure that you can conveniently check your tire pressure at any time (information video).
