Chrome Metal Valve Cap Flat, Long
Flat, extended cap with a gasket for tube and tubeless valves | Pack of 100
This cap is the extended version of the flat, chrome-plated model in the 17-493 family — the added length makes it easier to grip when screwing and unscrewing, while keeping the low, flat profile on the rim. It fits standard tube and tubeless valves used on motorcycle, car, van, and truck wheels. A gasket inside protects the valve opening, and profiled edges add extra ease of handling.
What it's used for
The longer body makes this cap easier to grip firmly with your fingers when screwing and unscrewing, something people working with gloves on especially appreciate. Despite the extended shape, the cap keeps its flat profile, so it doesn't stick out much above the rim surface. The gasket inside further protects the valve opening from dust and moisture, and the chrome finish with rust protection keeps it looking sharp despite constant contact with road salt.
