Overview
Filling Valve for Compressor Air Tank 1/8 NPT Extended Schrader Valve with Knurled Head Chrome Plated Metal Silver

The extended filling valve with a bottom thread 1/8 NPT is designed for filling and releasing air in compressor air tanks and other pressure vessels. The tapered pipe thread screws directly into the opening of the vessel, with a slender stem extending above it, ending in a knurled head. The body is made of metal with a chrome plated finish, giving it a shiny silver appearance. In the middle is a hexagon, which allows you to securely tighten the valve with a standard wrench. This part is appreciated by DIY enthusiasts, garages, and anyone assembling their own compressed air storage in the garage.

The valve operates on the principle of a Schrader valve, which is the same type you know from car tyres. Therefore, you can fill the vessel with the inflating nozzle of the compressor that you normally use for tyres, and just as easily connect a pressure gauge to check the pressure. The valve automatically closes the exit when the nozzle is disconnected, so the air remains in the vessel. When you need to empty the vessel, simply press the needle inside the valve.

The extended design raises the valve above the surface of the vessel. This makes it easy to attach the nozzle even where a low valve would be obstructed by welds, handles, or surrounding parts. The knurled head also improves grip when handling with fingers. The valve is suitable for smaller workshop compressors, portable air tanks for inflating tyres, and home constructions from pressure vessels where air needs to be quickly filled and released.

  • Type – filling valve for air tanks and pressure vessels
  • Design – extended stem with hexagon and knurled head
  • Bottom Thread – 1/8 NPT, tapered pipe thread
  • Valve – Schrader, for standard inflating nozzles and pressure gauges
  • Material – metal with chrome plated surface
  • Colour – silver
  • Installation – screwing into the vessel and tightening with a wrench on the hexagon
  • Contents of Package – 1 filling valve

Before installation, wrap the NPT thread with Teflon tape or apply suitable thread sealant to ensure a reliable seal. Always screw the valve into a vessel that is not under pressure and tighten it with a wrench on the hexagon, not on the top part. After filling, check the tightness of the joint by applying soapy water. If bubbles appear, slightly tighten the valve or reseal the thread. The chrome plated surface only needs to be wiped occasionally with a dry cloth.

The extended filling valve is a simple and practical part for anyone working with compressed air. The bottom thread 1/8 NPT connects it to the vessel, and the upper valve connects to the compressor or pressure gauge. The taller stem facilitates the attachment of the nozzle, and the hexagon ensures a secure tightening. It is suitable as a replacement part for older air tanks and for constructing a portable pressure bottle for inflating tyres. Thanks to the silver chrome plated surface, it fits well among other metal parts in the workshop.
