TR13 Valve Body for Hot-Bond Tube Mounting
Valve with 17-490C core and cap | Hot-bond mounting | Sold as 1 pc.
Hot-bond mounting needs a valve that forms one airtight unit with its rubber grommet — otherwise the bond won't hold pressure over the long run. This TR13 valve body has the valve bonded to the grommet at the manufacturing stage, and the set includes a 17-490C valve core and a cap, so nothing extra needs to be bought separately. The grommet is flat and precisely finished on top, with a slightly porous underside that increases bonding strength during the hot-bonding process. The valve works in both car and van inner tubes.
What it's used for
Hot-bond mounting works by permanently fusing the valve grommet to the tube rubber under heat — so the quality of the grommet itself decides whether the bond lasts for years or starts leaking after a few months. The porous underside on this valve's grommet increases the contact surface with the tube rubber, resulting in a stronger, more durable bond than a smooth surface would give.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between hot-bond and cold-bond mounting?
Hot-bond mounting fuses the valve grommet to the tube rubber using heat, giving a more durable, resilient bond than cold bonding — but it requires proper vulcanizing equipment.
Which valve core comes included?
The 17-490C core, so the valve is ready to mount straight away without buying any additional parts.
What's the porous layer under the grommet for?
The porous structure increases the contact surface with the tube rubber during bonding, resulting in a stronger bond than a smooth surface would give.
Does this valve work in van inner tubes?
Yes — the TR13 valve body is designed for use in both car and van inner tubes.
