FAQs
How many washers are included in this pack?
This pack contains 10 SKS rubber valve washers.
What type of pump valve is this washer compatible with?
These washers are designed for the SKS TL Lever Push-On Nipple.
Will this washer fit any bicycle pump?
No, it is specifically designed for the SKS TL Lever Push-On Nipple. Compatibility with other pump heads is not guaranteed.
How often should I replace the valve washer?
Replace the washer when you notice air leaks or a significant decrease in pumping efficiency. This depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions.
Can I use these washers for Schrader or Presta valves directly?
No, these washers are part of the pump head mechanism (specifically for the TL Lever Push-On Nipple) and are not used directly on Schrader or Presta valves.
What is the material of the washers?
The washers are made of durable rubber.
Troubleshooting
Pump is leaking air from the connection point.
Ensure the new rubber washer is correctly seated and forms a tight seal on the TL Lever Push-On Nipple. Check for any debris on the nipple or washer.
Washer feels too loose or too tight on the nipple.
Verify that you are using the correct SKS rubber washer model for your TL Lever Push-On Nipple. Some minor stretching or careful manipulation might be needed for a perfect fit, but excessive force should be avoided.
Difficulty fitting the washer onto the nipple.
Slightly moistening the nipple or the inside of the washer with water can sometimes help ease the installation. Ensure no part of the old washer is obstructing the new one.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These washers are specifically designed as a replacement for the SKS TL Lever Push-On Nipple. Ensure your pump head utilizes this type of nipple before purchasing. They are not designed for other valve types (like Presta or Schrader directly) or different SKS pump head models unless they use the TL Lever Push-On Nipple.
Setup:
- Identify the valve connection on your pump head that uses the TL Lever Push-On Nipple.
- Carefully remove the old, worn washer from the nipple mechanism. This may involve gently prying it off or disassembling a small part of the pump head.
- Take one of the new SKS rubber washers and firmly press it onto the nipple, ensuring it sits correctly and creates a snug fit.
- Reassemble any parts of the pump head you may have removed.
- Test the pump with a tire to ensure a secure seal and proper inflation.
Care: Store the spare washers in a dry, cool place, preferably in a small container to prevent loss. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade the rubber over time.
