TR15 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 TR15 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 a TR15 and a TR13 valve?
TR15 has a different profile and mounting-hole dimensions than TR13 — both are standard valve designations, chosen based on the rim hole and the requirements of a specific tube. The hot-bonding principle is identical for both.
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.
Does this valve work in van inner tubes?
Yes — the TR15 valve body is designed for use in both car and van inner tubes.
