Truck Tubeless Valve V3-16-1 (Ø20.5mm)
Bent, screw-in metal valve | Rubber seal and spring-loaded core included | Metal cap with seal | Sold per piece
The V3-16-1 is a metal, screw-in valve built for tubeless wheels on trucks, industrial vehicles, buses, and trailers. It has a larger mounting hole (Ø 20.5 mm) than the TR-501/TR-570C/TR-575 group of valves, so it's worth checking the rim's actual hole size before ordering — the two groups aren't interchangeable.
What this valve is for
On a tubeless wheel, the valve itself — not a separate inner tube — is what keeps the air in, so its condition has a direct bearing on how airtight the whole wheel stays. The V3-16-1 screws in from outside the rim, and the rubber seal, compressed by the mounting nut, conforms to the 20.5 mm mounting hole and blocks air from escaping along the stem. The bend makes it easier to connect a pump or gauge where a straight valve would be hard to reach. A spring-loaded core holds the pressure, and the metal cap with its own seal keeps moisture and grit off it between inflations.
Design and construction
Mounts straight into the rim hole, no connector needed.
Easier to reach for inflation on tight wheel setups.
Larger than the standard TR-501/TR-570C valves.
Comes with a protective cap with seal.

Frequently asked questions
Is this valve interchangeable with the TR-501, TR-570C, or TR-575?
No. All three of those use a 15.7 mm mounting hole, while the V3-16-1 uses 20.5 mm. They're two separate valve groups built for different rims, so it's worth checking the wheel's actual mounting hole before ordering.
What's the point of the bend?
The bent stem makes it easier to connect a pump or gauge in situations where a straight valve would be awkward to reach — for instance, when the rim sits close to wheel housing components or a drum cover.
What rims does this valve fit?
It's built for rims with a 20.5 mm mounting hole. Measuring the rim hole before ordering is worth doing to rule out a mismatch — even a few millimetres off can prevent a proper fit.
Are any extra parts needed for installation?
No. The V3-16-1 doesn't need a connector or a separate sealing washer — the rubber seal, spring-loaded core, and cap with seal are already included and are all it takes for an airtight fit.
