Myers introduces hand-bendable valve extensions

April 5, 2013

Myers Tire Supply, a division of Myers Industries Inc., has signed an exclusive agreement to be the national distributor of Air-Flexx Tire Valve Extensions, a hand-bendable valve extension made by Glauch Produkt GmbH of Viersen, Germany.

The bendable valve extensions eliminate most of the problems related to checking and inflating vehicles with dual wheel assemblies, according to Myers. The extensions are nearly unbreakable, flexible and pressureless, making them an ideal solution for truck and bus fleets.

The company says Air-Flexx extensions are rigid enough to be used without a rim holder, clamp or stabilizer. The plastic casing will not corrode and withstands severe cold and heat without becoming brittle.

The pin extension opens the tire valve only when checking pressure or inflating. If the extension is broken or even cut in half, no pressure is lost from the tire.
