Plastic Valve Extension 170mm
White plastic, rigid construction | Plastic cap included | For cars, vans, buses, and motorcycles | Sold per piece
The 170mm valve extension is a plastic extension that lengthens the valve and makes inflating easier when access to it is severely limited. It's the longest option in the entire plastic extension range, which starts at 95 mm — reach for this one where shorter versions in the line don't leave enough margin to comfortably reach the inflation point.
What this extension is for
The extension fits over the valve and routes the inflation tip somewhere easier to reach, so there's no need to remove the wheel or maneuver a pump into a tight space every time. It's made of durable, solid plastic which, unlike rubber, holds a fixed, rigid shape along its entire, considerable length, so the inflation tip always sits in the same, predictable spot. The included plastic cap keeps the tip clean between inflations.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the longest plastic extension you carry?
Yes, 170 mm is the top of this plastic extension range, which starts at 95 mm. If you need even more reach and a fixed, rigid shape isn't a priority, it's worth checking Our rubber extension ranges, which go up to 270 mm.
How does this extension differ from the 150mm version?
Both share the same construction, material, and colour — the only difference is length. The EXT170P is 20 mm longer than the EXT150P, making it suited to the most demanding wheel setups in the whole range.
How does this extension differ from Our rubber extensions?
The main difference is rigidity — this extension is made of durable plastic and holds a fixed shape, while the rubber extensions in Our range can be bent freely to a convenient direction. At this considerable length, that difference is especially noticeable — getting the mounting position right matters more here than on the shorter versions.
Why is the extension white?
The light colour makes the valve easier to spot on the wheel, for instance during a routine pressure check, and stands out more against a dark tyre or rim than traditional black rubber.
