Overview
Filling Valve for Pressure Vessel 1/4 NPT Compact Schrader Valve with Cap Height 28 mm Hexagon 14 mm Metal Gold for Compressor

The filling valve with a bottom thread 1/4 NPT allows you to fill air into pressure vessels, compressor air receivers, and portable tanks, and to drain it again. The conical pipe thread screws into the vessel, while the top part consists of a valve with an auto valve thread. The valve is compact, with a height including the cap of 28 mm. The thicker 1/4 NPT thread is suitable for vessels with a larger opening. There is a hexagon on the body for tightening with a wrench.

The valve is of the Schrader type with a standard thread 8V1, the same as that of car tyre valves. You can connect a standard compressor inflating nozzle or pressure gauge to it, allowing you to pressurise the vessel and check the pressure without special adapters. The hexagon has a size of 14 mm, the threaded part is 12 mm long, and the valve part has a diameter of 6 mm. The black cap, which is 11 mm high, protects the valve from dirt.

The valve is useful for compressor air receivers, portable pressure vessels for inflating tyres, air tanks for pneumatic tools, and when constructing your own workshop equipment. The valve retains air in the vessel after removing the nozzle and thus functions as a simple check valve. Releasing air is straightforward; just press the valve needle with a suitable tool. The low profile with a height of up to 3 cm is advantageous wherever a longer valve would obstruct or risk breaking off.

Seal the NPT thread with Teflon tape or thread sealant before installation. Always install the valve into a vessel without pressure and tighten it with a wrench on the hexagon. After filling or draining air, replace the cap to prevent dirt from entering the valve. Regularly check the valve to ensure that air is not leaking around the thread, for example, by applying soapy water to the joint. If bubbles appear, tighten the valve or reseal the thread.

The compact filling valve 1/4 NPT is a reliable part for workshops, garages, and home DIY enthusiasts working with compressed air. The height of 28 mm and hexagon of 14 mm allow for easy installation even in confined spaces. Thanks to the Schrader valve, you can pressurise the vessel as easily as a car tyre. You will use it when constructing a portable air tank or as a replacement for a worn or damaged valve on an older air receiver.
