FAQs
What type of valves do these caps fit?
These caps are designed for AV (American Valve) style tire valves, which are standard on most cars and trucks.
How many valve caps are in a pack?
Each pack contains 100 Connect Tyre Valve Caps.
Are these caps suitable for bicycles?
These caps are intended for car and truck tires with AV valves. They are generally not compatible with the Schrader or Presta valves found on most bicycles.
What material are the valve caps made from?
The valve caps are made from durable plastic.
Can these caps help prevent tire pressure loss?
While their primary function is to keep dirt and moisture out, a properly fitted cap can offer a minimal secondary seal. However, they are not a substitute for a functional valve core.
How should I store unused valve caps?
Store unused caps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the plastic's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Caps are difficult to screw on.
Ensure you are using the correct AV style valve. Check for any debris in the valve stem threads and clean if necessary. Screw the cap on straight.
One or more caps are missing.
The pack contains 100 caps, which should be sufficient for many vehicles. If a cap is lost, simply screw on a new one from the pack.
Plastic cap feels brittle.
Exposure to extreme temperatures or prolonged UV light can make plastic brittle. If a cap shows signs of brittleness, it is best to replace it to ensure a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These valve caps require no setup. Simply screw them onto the tire's valve stem until snug. Do not overtighten, as this could damage the valve stem or the cap.
Compatibility: The Connect Tyre Valve Caps are designed for AV (American Valve) style tire valves. This is the standard type found on most cars, trucks, and motorcycles. They are not compatible with Schrader or Presta valves if encountered on specialized equipment.
Care: To ensure longevity, periodically check the caps for any signs of wear or damage. If a cap becomes cracked or brittle, replace it. Clean the caps with a damp cloth if they become dirty. Store any unused caps in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature degradation of the plastic.
