FAQs
Are these valves suitable for all cars?
These valves are suitable for cars with wheels that have a standard 8mm valve stem hole. Always confirm your wheel's specification before purchasing.
How many valves are included in a set?
Each set includes four Richbrook Aluminium Car Bolt In Valves, enough for a full set of tires.
Can I install these myself?
Yes, if you are comfortable with basic automotive tasks and have the correct tools. Ensure you tighten them securely but do not overtighten, which could damage the wheel or valve.
Will these valves rust over time?
They are made from aluminum, which is highly resistant to corrosion and rust, making them a durable choice for long-term use.
What is the valve body diameter?
The valve body diameter is 8mm.
Do these come with valve caps?
Valve caps are typically sold separately or may be re-used from your old valves. This set focuses on the bolt-in valve stems themselves.
Troubleshooting
Valve not holding air
Ensure the valve body is securely tightened against the wheel rim. Check that the rubber seal is present and in good condition. Verify the valve core is correctly seated.
Difficulty installing valve
Confirm the wheel has an 8mm valve hole. Ensure the rim's valve hole area is clean and free of obstructions. If tight, a small amount of silicone lubricant on the rubber seal might aid insertion.
Finish is damaged
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. If minor scratches occur, they are cosmetic and do not affect performance. For significant damage, valve replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the wheel valve hole is clean and free of debris.
- Remove the old valve stem.
- Insert the new Richbrook valve through the 8mm valve hole from the outside of the wheel.
- From the inside of the wheel, tighten the valve body securely against the rim to create a seal. A rubber washer (often pre-installed or included) helps create this seal.
- Attach your tire pressure monitoring tool or inflation chuck to the valve.
Compatibility:
- These valves are designed for wheels with a standard 8mm valve stem hole diameter.
- Compatible with standard and aftermarket wheels that accept this valve size.
- Not suitable for wheels requiring larger diameter valves or specific snap-in valve types.
Care:
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the black finish.
- Periodically check for damage or wear, especially if exposed to harsh road conditions.
