FAQs
How many seals are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two Apico Valve Cap Seals.
What material are these seals made of?
They are made from durable silicone.
Are these suitable for car tires?
These seals are primarily designed for motorcycle and ATV valve stems and may not fit car valves.
Will these affect tire pressure?
No, the seals are designed to fit around the valve stem and do not interfere with normal inflation or pressure monitoring.
How often should I replace these seals?
With proper care and cleaning, they can last for a considerable time. Replace them if they show signs of significant wear, cracking, or loss of elasticity.
Can I use these on tubeless tires?
Yes, they are compatible with tubeless tires as they seal around the valve stem itself.
Troubleshooting
Seal does not fit snugly
Ensure you are using the correct valve stem size and that the seal is fully seated against the rim.
Seal appears to be degrading or cracking
Check if the seal is exposed to excessive heat or harsh chemicals. Clean and reapply if necessary, or consider replacement if damage is significant.
Difficulty installing the seal
Apply a small amount of water or silicone spray to the valve stem to aid in sliding the seal on.
