TR218A (GP6) Valve for Tractor Tubes, 80 mm
Hot-bond mounting valve | TRCH3 core and cap included | Sold as 1 pc.
This valve is the larger, 80 mm variant in the TR218A (GP6) series built for tractor tubes — meant for wheels where the shorter 60 mm version wouldn't reach far enough on deeper farm-machinery rims. The set includes a TRCH3 core and a cap, so the valve is ready to mount into a tube using the hot-bonding method 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, even on larger tube sizes that need a longer valve.
Build and materials
Valve permanently fused to the rubber.
Increases bonding strength with the tube.
TRCH3 core and cap included.
80 mm size, for deeper rims.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the 60 mm variant (6-17-585/060)?
This model is longer — 80 mm instead of 60 mm — which works better on deeper tractor wheel rims. All other specs, including the TRCH3 core and mounting method, are identical between the two.
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.
What mounting method does this valve use?
Hot bonding — the valve's wide, porous rubber base is specifically designed for this mounting method.
