Truck Tubeless Valve V3-20-05 (Ø9.7mm)
Screw-in metal valve, bent at 27° | Sold per piece
The V3-20-05 is a metal, screw-in valve built for tubeless wheels used in truck tyres. It shares the same mounting hole (Ø 9.7 mm), the same base height (5 mm), and the same 27° bend angle as the V3-20-04, but has a shorter length from the bend — 40 mm instead of 60 mm — which suits tighter wheel setups.
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 V3-20-05 screws in from outside the rim and matches a 9.7 mm mounting hole, and its low base height (5 mm) lets it sit close against the rim surface. The 27° bend angles the inflation tip to the side, which can be more convenient on certain wheel setups, and the shorter length from the bend makes it easier to fit where clearance is tight.
Design and construction
Mounts directly into the rim hole.
Easier access when inflating.
Fits tight wheel setups.

Frequently asked questions
How does this valve differ from the V3-20-04?
Both share the same mounting hole (Ø 9.7 mm), the same base height (5 mm), and the same 27° bend angle, but differ in length from the bend — 40 mm on the V3-20-05 versus 60 mm on the V3-20-04. The shorter variant suits wheel setups with even less room to work with.
What's the point of the 27° bend?
The 27° angle points the inflation tip off to the side, making it easier to connect a pump or gauge in situations where a valve running straight out from the rim would be hard to reach.
What rims does this valve fit?
It's built for rims with a 9.7 mm mounting hole. Measuring the rim hole before ordering is worth doing to rule out a mismatch — at such a small diameter, even a slight difference matters.
Are any extra parts needed for installation?
No, the valve mounts on its own into the rim hole. It's still worth checking the condition of the valve base and the rim hole during installation to keep the seating airtight.
