Vice President Colin Camisasca shows you how to install our Valve Stem Caps and Stay-Put Lanyards, while highlighting useful features and listing application facts to consider.
We have two styles of Valve Stem Caps: our economical ABS caps and premium Alloy Caps. Both styles are compatible with our innovative Stay-Put Lanyards for ease of use and come in a universal set of 4.
A little Education on Valve Stems
Most valve stems, TPMS or standard, are made from either aluminum or brass depending on vehicle and application. As a result, using a valve stem cap made completely from metal introduces the risk of seizure through corrosion and/or electrolysis. As a result, in an emergency situation when you need to add air to your tire this could prevent access to the valve and leave you stranded with a costly repair bill on the horizon. For instance, TPMS valves on a BMW for instance, cost $100.00 each if they need to be replaced due to a seized cap.
CAM Inc. offers two styles of caps, both of which address this danger and offer differing price points based upon your budget. Each developed and approved for OEM Genuine parts programs:
FEATURES INCLUDE:
Fits any standard air valve stem.
Guaranteed for a minimum of 4 years of exterior use.
Economical ABS Valve Stem Caps
Our 100% ABS Plastic Tire Valve Caps were designed to enhance the look of your wheels without interfering with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) or wheel balance.
Each cap is crafted from exterior-grade ABS plastic for ultimate compatibility with alloy valve stem and is finished in your choice of Chrome, Satin Silver, or Black.
Threads are laser cleaned to ensure no reaction with the plating.
The finely printed graphic is coated with the same crystal clear, UV fade and scratch proof, protective doming used on all our OEM products.
An inner O-ring seal helps keep the valve orifice clean and the knurled head design allows easy on and off access without the need of a wrench.
Premium ALLOY Valve Stem Caps
Now if you are looking for the ultimate valve stem cap, look no further than our new alloy valve stem caps. Our patented design provides the quality of a German-made precision machined aluminum cap with inner ABS thread shield. This combination incubates the valve stem threads from coming into contact with the outer aluminum construction.
A perfect complement to our carbon fiber frames and a great way to add the finishing touch to your new wheels and tires, our beautifully made genuine carbon fiber cap accents are CNC router cut from beautiful carbon fiber sheet stock. Clear UV resistant polyurethane doming enhances the carbon fiber weave and protects the surface from deteriorating and yellowing.
Each cap is finished in tooling grade anodization, semi-gloss black or bright satin.
Premium alloy cap body with patented inert ABS insert.
Light weight at under 2.5 grams each, will not affect wheel balance or interfere with RFID signals.
Inner O-ring seal helps keep the valve office clean and the knurled head design allows easy on and off access without the need of a wrench.
