Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Turboflow Valve Kit is designed for cyclists using tubeless tires who need faster inflation and a reliable seal. It offers significantly higher airflow than standard Presta valves, is easy to install, and prevents sealant clogs. A potential caveat is ensuring the correct length is chosen for your specific rim depth to maintain optimal compatibility and sealing.

FAQs
What makes the Turboflow valve different from a standard Presta valve?
The Turboflow valve has a larger internal diameter and a redesigned head, allowing for approximately three times more airflow compared to a standard Presta valve, leading to faster inflation.
Do I need a special pump for these valves?
While they work with most Presta-compatible pumps, using a high-volume floor pump will best leverage the valve's high-flow capabilities for the quickest inflation.
Can I use these valves with sealant?
Yes, the Turboflow valve is specifically designed for tubeless systems and features a clog-free design to prevent sealant from obstructing airflow over time.
How do I choose the correct valve length?
Select the length based on your rim's depth: 45mm for rims up to 35mm deep, 60mm for rims 35-50mm deep, and 80mm for rims 50-70mm deep.
Are these valves compatible with removable valve cores?
Yes, the valve core is removable, allowing for easier inflation, sealant addition, and cleaning if necessary.
What material are the valves made from?
The valves are constructed from CNC-machined aluminum for durability and a premium finish.
What is included in the kit?
Each kit is sold as a pair and includes the two Turboflow valves and a Presta valve core tool.
Troubleshooting
Valve is leaking air.
Ensure the valve nut is tightened securely against the rim. Check the valve base for any debris. Verify the valve length is appropriate for your rim depth.
Difficulty installing the valve.
Use the included valve tool to guide and tighten the valve nut. Ensure the valve stem is straight before tightening.
Sealant appears to be blocking airflow.
The clog-free design should prevent this. If airflow is restricted, remove the valve core and clean any dried sealant residue. Ensure the valve core is properly seated after cleaning.
Airflow still seems slow.
Confirm you are using a compatible high-volume pump. Ensure the valve core is open (if removable). Double-check that the valve length is correct for the rim, as too short a valve can affect sealing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly faster inflation times for tubeless setups.
- Clog-free design ensures consistent airflow, even with sealant.
- Includes a useful valve core tool for installation and maintenance.

- Compatible with tire inserts.
Cons
- Requires careful selection of length based on rim depth.
- May be overkill for riders not using tubeless setups.
- Slightly heavier than basic rubber valve stems.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the valve length selected matches your rim depth. (45mm: Rim depth ≤35mm, 60mm: Rim depth 35-50mm, 80mm: Rim depth 50-70mm).
- Remove the old valve stem if applicable.
- Insert the Turboflow valve through the rim hole.
- Use the included valve tool to thread on the valve nut, ensuring an airtight seal against the rim. Do not overtighten.
- Install your tubeless tire and sealant as usual.
Compatibility:
- Valve Type: Presta.
- Tires: Tubeless systems.
- Rim Depth: Check the specifications above for correct length selection.
- Tyre Inserts: Compatible with most brands.
Care:
- Periodically check for airtightness.
- Clean the valve stem exterior with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
