Captive no loss Tyre Valve Caps PDF Print E-mail

6% of all fatal motorway accidents are caused by the sudden failure of under-inflated tyres.
Lost or absence of good Tyre Valve Caps will result in slow leaks of the tyres from the valve core. In a worst case scenario, it will result in sudden lost of pressure when the vehicle is going at a high speed and / or experience impact with hard object. We have a new and exciting product that  actually acts as an air seal to prevent the leakage of air. Not only increasing safety, but will also reduce petrol costs.
We have several sizes from bikes to large trucks.

Crash Scene
Under Inflated Tyres Kill!!
Under-inflated tyres cost UK Motorists £1 Billion a year in higher fuel bills and reduced tyre life.

 

 

Tyre suppliers will advise that pressures should be checked weekly or more often depending on use.
Low tyre pressure consequences can be catastrophic.

Problems that are directly attributed to low tyre pressure are:

• Possibility of prosecution
• Fuel consumption will increase by as much as 10%
• Reduction in tyre life by over 50%
• Breaking performance will be reduced by 20%
• Putting you and your passengers at unnecessary RISK

ImageIt is generally considered that the tyre valve cap is intended to keep dirt and water out of the valve and protect the valve core which is the air seal. Although this is an important function of the cap, tyre manufacturers will tell us that the cap is acually the primary air seal for the valve. Valve cores can leak and it is therefore essential to have a proper cap with a seal in place at all times.

ImagePlastic Caps

Plastic valve caps are made down to the lowest cost, most don’t have a proper pressure seal and just rely on the deformation of the threads. They are easy to cross thread and easy to lose.

Checking Tyre Pressure

Tyre suppliers will advise that pressures should be checked weekly or more often depending on use.
If pressure has been lost, the consequences are:

• Possibility of prosecution
• Increase in fuel consumption
• Reduction in tyre life.

The graph shows just how much tyre life is lost for a small drop in tyre pressure.

Most people know what tends to happen when you come to check tyre pressures, take the cap off put it somewhere safe, on the ground or on top of the tyre, and where is it when you’ve finished? – Gone! Who keeps spare valve caps? Answer, Nobody. How many vehicles drive about with one or more caps missing? Answer, most of them, they never get replaced.

The No-Loss Captive Valve Cap

ImageThis is the ultimate in tyre valve caps, precision machined in solid brass and nickel plated, it includes a nitrile rubber seal inside. The No-Loss cap seals any pressure leaks with just light finger tightening.
The most important feature, however, is that it cannot get lost. The special low density polyethylene strap fixes the No-Loss cap to the valve stem whilst the cap turns easily in the strap. Even if the cap is not screwed on, it will not be lost when the vehicle is driven, just screw it on later.
The No-loss cap is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle. You never buy a replacement and save the cost on tyre life.

The No-loss cap is completely unique and is available in normal bike/car/truck sizes and also earthmover size.
