TR218A (GP6) Valve for Tractor Tubes, 60 mm
Hot-bond mounting valve | TRCH3 core and cap included | Sold as 1 pc.
Tractor tubes work under far heavier loads than car tubes, so their valve needs to be built to that scale — a wide base, a solid bond with the rubber, and secure hot-bond mounting. The TR218A valve, also known by its GP6 designation, is built with exactly those traits. The set includes a TRCH3 core and a cap, so the valve is ready to mount into a tube straight away.
What it's used for
This valve's wide rubber base increases the contact surface with the tube, which directly affects the quality and durability of the bond. The rubber surface is flat on top and slightly porous underneath — that porosity increases bonding strength during hot mounting, so the connection holds up to the heavy use typical of farm machinery.
Build and materials

Frequently asked questions
Which valve core comes included?
The TRCH3 core, so the valve is ready to mount straight away without buying any additional parts.
What's the porous surface under the valve base for?
The porous structure increases the contact surface with the tube rubber during bonding, resulting in a stronger, more durable bond than a smooth surface would give.
Does this valve need a special protective cap?
A standard cap is included in the set, but in muddy conditions it's worth considering the two-part TR-VC7 cap (17-492SP/GP), which covers the whole valve rather than just the core.
What mounting method does this valve use?
Hot bonding — the valve's wide, porous rubber base is specifically designed for this mounting method.
