Apex Rapid Tire Deflation Valve Installation & Test

[@mikebragg2701]

Love these valve stems, makes it easier to air down tires for off roading

[@sisyphusofmorons]

Glad you used a high quality air gauge so you can see accurately how fast these are.

[@FatGreenSheep]

I was looking to order a set of these or the Baja Built valve stems. Is drilling a second valve stem hole required or can I run these or the Baja built valve stems in the factory location on my wheels?

[@northridgenation]

Yes, you can run either of those in the factory location.

[@Pandora882]

You should use Locktight on the nuts . Check Apex instructions

[@northridgenation]

Great tip!

[@fido4x462]

For bedlocks we need just 1 for each beadlocks? Or need to replace 2 per each beadlock

[@northridgenation]

Just one each per wheel.

[@ziyadrak5128]

Thanks. But is this faster than just removing the valve stem?

[@northridgenation]

It's easier and you won't accidentally drop the core. As far as faster? We should give that a test.

[@MrMrsregor]

yes. its a bit faster, significantly faster ( i don't own these, but have been doing a bit a research because they look tempting to buy)

[@ClaudioGilberto]

I was a privileged customer in Dubai to order before it was available last year in the Middle East and look great on my Jeep Jku

[@jamesmoore1124]

Can you use these with balance beads?

[@northridgenation]

You could, but you may have problems down the road if your beads start powdering up.

[@captainbarnicle8548]

Not shipping international?

[@jawedjr]

I need them

[@xplorationxj5138]

I'll buy now, offering any discounts or discount codes??

[@northridgenation]

Use discount code "Tech Tim".

[@martinklaus2203]

Will these stems fit the AEV Borah wheels?

[@northridgenation]

How deep is the valve stem well?

[@loganmac2177]

They claim to air up 30% faster, is this true?

[@northridgenation]

Not sure how it could air up faster, it still uses a standard Schrader valve, which would be the restriction point. Did you see that somewhere Logan?

[@citrobot]

@@northridgenation From their FAQ at: www.apexdesignsusa.com/pages/f-a-q-s "Will this allow us to air up faster? The air valve has about 20% more flow than standard on the air up, not as drastic an improvement as the air down. It was primarily designed for fast (and precise) deflation & to use standard inflation tools." Anecdotally, I can say that it does seem a little bit faster than my stock valves, so it's a double win in my book ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@northridgenation]

@@citrobot Thanks for chiming in!

[@Sam1986E]

For the price, they would have made sense if they had a set PSI to drop the pressure to... lets say set them at 8 PSI and just flick the lever and walk away...

[@northridgenation]

That would be a nice addition. If you're looking for new wheels, the TeraFlex Nomad wheels have a cool air down system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWiWfJJpatJoqZY

[@crazyharry1586]

Can see them being lots of fun when at a shopping centre lol

[@zhenwang6911]

the vehicle is not heavy enough while the sidewall is too hard. otherwise the last 5 psi would be faster

[@jairopinzon4254]

Uuffff 💯

[@jhartman83]

Takes me less than 5 mins to air down all 4 tires right now but for $120 I can cut maybe 2 mins off that lol. Ok seriously though not a horrible price and a good idea but those would end up getting broke off the first time I went out. I would rather spend the $4 to replace a standard valve stem every 6 months then $30-$40 possibly every time I go out.

[@Boss-vd8vt]

Get a second job then

[@jhartman83]

@@Boss-vd8vt genius idea 🤣 let me just work my life away. Dumbest comment award goes to you.

[@loganmac2177]

Im wondering what kind of wheels you're wheeling on that you're needing to replace stems that often?

[@c938695]

If it takes you less than 5 mins to air down ALL FOUR tires.. you must be riding a PowerWheels Barbie Jeep...

[@vitaminb4869]

@@c938695 Have you ever heard of automatic deflators like Staun or Trailhead? They are faster than any manual method, as you simply screw them on and walk away until they are done deflating. You don't need to sit and babysit each tire while it deflates.

[@rogue109]

These seem a bit cringy to me, like anyone walking by could empty my tires with no tools.

[@ipdjbt]

Guess what? People already can.

[@Boss-vd8vt]

Most thugs use an ice pick

[@edgardorodriguez1314]

That's why you have an on-board compressor. Js

[@jordantrujillo293]

If you have rubber valves anyone could rip those out, tpms sensors stems easily snap off. Knifes also go through sidewalks just as easy. But chances are if you have this you also have a compressor etc in your vehicle.

[@vitaminb4869]

No one will know what those valves are. Even in the off road world almost no one knows what these are. You think some street punk will have a clue?
