Product Information

Full details

The PetrolScooter 6 Inch Wheel Inner Tube is designed for professionals and DIY users managing heavy-duty equipment like sack trucks, hand trucks, and industrial carts. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, high-durability replacement for worn-out tire components, ensuring your equipment maintains load-bearing stability. Note that this tube features a bent valve stem, which may require specific clearance depending on your wheel rim design, so verify your existing valve orientation before purchase.

FAQs

Will this fit a 3.50-6 tyre?

Yes, this tube is compatible with 3.50-6, 350-6, 3.50/4.04, and 4.00-6 tyre sizes.

What type of air pump do I need?

It uses a standard Schrader valve (the same type as a car tyre), so any standard foot pump or air compressor will work.

Is this suitable for a wheelbarrow?

While it fits 6-inch wheels, please verify the diameter and valve type of your specific wheelbarrow model before purchasing.

What is the inner diameter of this tube?

The inner diameter is 150 mm (5.91 inches).

Why is the valve bent?

The bent valve is specifically designed to provide easier access to the inflation point on wheels with deep or obstructed rims.

Troubleshooting

Tube will not hold air after installation

Check the valve core to ensure it is tightened properly and inspect the rim for sharp burrs that may have punctured the tube during seating.

Difficulty inflating due to wheel rim obstruction

Ensure the bent valve is angled toward the exterior of the rim; if the rim is too narrow, use a flexible hose extension for your pump.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability rubber construction for heavy-duty use
  • Universal Schrader valve compatibility
  • Wide compatibility with various tyre size standards
  • Reliable fit for industrial hand trucks and sack trucks

Cons

  • Bent valve may interfere with specific rim covers
  • Requires manual removal of the wheel assembly for installation
  • Not intended for high-speed automotive use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first release all air from the existing tube and remove the wheel from the axle. Use tire levers to carefully pry one side of the tyre off the rim, then pull out the old tube. Before inserting the new PetrolScooter tube, inspect the inside of the tyre for any debris, nails, or sharp objects that caused the original puncture. Slightly inflate the new tube before inserting it into the tyre to prevent twisting or pinching. Regularly check tyre pressure using a gauge, as operating on an under-inflated tube can lead to sidewall damage and premature failure.
