Valve Stem Extension Stabilizer
Need a little help here. My Royale threw a rubber valve stem stabilizer on my last trip and I’m looking for a replacement. I see them on the Alcoa site, but they list 3 different sizes (1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 inch diameters). Anyone know what fits drive axle rims? Pretty sure its not the 2.5 inch…..

Measure the hole.

Multiple configurations to boot…..Center hole, offset hole, grommet style…….

I cut down one that was too big, so it must be 2 or 1.5 inch.

I’d consider just getting the long filler tool and take the extension off – I installed tire pressure doodads once and the tire lost pressure overnight due to the extension. That meant a visit by the tire guys and some $$.
I’ve been running no extensions and just the pass through caps for a few years now… it’s EASY to get the long filler tool onto the stem even if you cant see it. I do this pretty much every morning before a trip.
Then you have nothing to worry about!

What are other people doing for running pressure monitors on the dual wheels?

Works just as easy as Tom’s video shows.

Just to close the loop on this thread. I know there are differing opinions on the use of inner wheel extensions, etc.
If you do choose to use them, the Alcoa 1.5 inch version with a center hole are the correct grommets.
