Overview
Filling Valve for Compressor Air Tank 1/8 NPT Extended Schrader Valve with Cap Length 34 mm Metal Gold for Inflation

The filling valve with a bottom thread 1/8 NPT is used for inflating and deflating air in air tanks of compressors and other pressure vessels. The tapered pipe thread screws into the opening of the vessel, and at the top, there is a valve with a standard car valve thread. The extended body has a total length of 34 mm, allowing the valve to protrude above the surface of the vessel, making it easy to attach the nozzle. The hexagon in the middle of the body allows the valve to be securely tightened with a standard wrench. It is suitable for workshops, garages, and DIY enthusiasts who are assembling or repairing their own air tanks.

The top part of the valve features a thread 8V1, which is the same type as that found on the valves of passenger car tyres. Therefore, you can inflate the vessel using the same inflation nozzle from the compressor that you use for the wheels, and you can also easily connect a pressure gauge to check the pressure. The manufacturer states a maximum working pressure of 200 PSI, which is typical for standard workshop compressors as well as portable air tanks. The valve is covered by a black cap that protects its interior from dust and dirt.

The valve is useful wherever compressed air needs to be introduced into a closed vessel or released from it. Typically, this includes air tanks of smaller compressors, portable pressure cylinders for inflating tyres in the garage or on the road, and home constructions from pressure vessels. The valve also functions as a check valve, so air will remain in the vessel after disconnecting the nozzle. To release the air, simply press the valve needle.

Before installation, it is recommended to wrap the NPT thread with Teflon tape or use a suitable thread sealant to ensure a good seal. Screw the valve into the vessel without pressure and tighten it with a wrench on the hexagon. After inflating, always replace the cap. The dimensions stated may vary by approximately 3 mm according to the manufacturer. Regularly check the valve for air leaks around the thread, for example, by applying soapy water to the joint. If bubbles appear, tighten the valve or reseal the thread.

The extended filling valve is a practical component for anyone working with compressed air. The bottom thread 1/8 NPT connects it to the vessel, while the top car valve connects it to the compressor or pressure gauge. The length of 34 mm facilitates access to the valve, and the hexagon ensures a secure tightening. Thanks to the Schrader valve, no special nozzle is required. It is suitable for creating a portable air tank as well as serving as a replacement part for an old air tank.
