Overview
Filling Valve for Pressure Vessel 1/8 NPT Compact Schrader Valve with Cap Height 23 mm Metal Gold for Air Receiver Compressor

The compact filling valve with a thread of 1/8 NPT is designed for filling, sealing, and releasing air in pressure vessels and air receivers of compressors. The lower tapered thread screws directly into the vessel, and the upper part consists of a valve similar to a standard car valve. The total height including the cap is only 23 mm, so the valve hardly protrudes from the vessel. This makes it suitable for areas with limited space or where a longer valve would be obstructive. The hexagon on the body makes it easier to tighten with a wrench.

The valve is of the Schrader type, which is used in passenger car tyres, and features a standard thread of 8V1. Therefore, you can attach a standard compressor inflating nozzle or pressure gauge to the valve and pressurise the vessel just like a tyre. The hexagon has a dimension of 11 mm and the threaded part is 9 mm long. The black cap, which is 11 mm high, protects the valve from dust and moisture when not in use.

The filling valve is useful for air receivers of smaller compressors, portable air tanks for inflating tyres, and various workshop pressure vessels. After disconnecting the nozzle, the valve retains air inside the vessel and acts as a simple non-return valve. When you need to empty the vessel, simply press the valve needle and gradually release the air. Due to its low height, the valve is also well-suited for places where the vessel is positioned close to a wall or under a workbench.

When installing, wrap the NPT thread with Teflon tape or apply thread sealant to ensure a reliable seal. Screw the valve into a vessel that is not pressurised and tighten it with a wrench on the hexagon. After each filling, replace the cap on the valve. 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 low filling valve 1/8 NPT is suitable for small air tanks, pressure vessels, and custom workshop constructions where every millimetre matters. The height of 23 mm with the cap and the hexagon of 11 mm make it an unobtrusive yet practical component. Through the Schrader valve, you can pressurise the vessel with a standard compressor and check the pressure with a regular pressure gauge. It serves as a replacement for a damaged or leaking valve as well as a part of a new assembly.
