LAKE FOREST, CA, September 2017 – Camisasca Automotive Manufacturing strikes the balance of form and function with a new line of Aluminum Valve Stem Caps, enhanced with an innovative ABS thread shield for a jewelry-like finish without the concerns of galvanization or TPMS interference.
In September 2017, CAM Inc. will begin offering the new range to select OEM partners. The new line is backed by CAM Inc.’s satisfaction guarantee for a minimum of four years of exterior use, and has undergone 1,000 hours of accelerated weather testing and 1,000 hours salt spray by independent labs.
CAM Inc.’s President and Founder, Henry Camisasca, explains the inspiration behind the new launch:
This new patent pending design is based on an accumulation of what we’ve learned about automotive tire valves and dust caps over the last 20 years through our direct OEM vehicle manufacturer supply programs. We have applied that knowledge in the development of this new Aluminum and ABS design.
Not only does the product look luxurious like jewelry for cars, but we have engineered both the design and materials to be compatible with today’s TPM systems, and to withstand the elements for a minimum of four years in use.
The internal ABS thread shield is unique to this new design and avoids any past issues of dissimilar metals coming into contact with one another resulting in galvanic reaction. This reaction ultimately leads to seizure problems between the valve stem and the cap – an issue we were able to completely overcome in testing with our new range.
In keeping with CAM Inc.’s reputation for quality and service in their OEM supply programs, the new line is completely customizable to match any corporate identity. Detailed, full color graphics and high quality base materials are sealed beneath CAM Inc.’s signature crystal clear, UV protective dome.
PRODUCT FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS:
Made from aluminum with innovative ABS thread shield.
ABS thread shield prevents concerns of galvanization or cap seizure, a common issue found with the design of most other metal valve stem caps.
Lightweight, aluminum caps weigh under 2.3 grams, and do not interfere with tire balancing.
Compatible with most TPMS by not affecting RF signal from these systems.
Molded EPDM rubber valve seal cannot be dislodged, and keeps the valve orifice clean from dirt, dust and grime.
Knurled head design ensures easy installation by hand without the need of a special tool or worries about over tightening.
Detailed, full color graphics and high quality base material are sealed beneath a crystal clear, UV protective polyurethane dome.
Independently tested for 1,000 hours accelerated weather and 1,000 hours salt spray to guarantee each cap to last for a minimum of 4 years of exterior use.
The new Aluminum Valve Stem Caps will be available to OEMs in two anodized aluminum body finishes: bright satin natural and semi-gloss black. CAM Inc. also offers custom, private label retail display packaging at a nominal setup fee.
What we have achieved here is a new, elegant valve stem cap design that is made from premium quality metal, without the related issues of the past metal caps that are available elsewhere,” Henry Camisasca says. “We are proud to bring this product to our OEM supply programs this fall.
