Camco 44953 RV Valve Stem Cap for Standard Tire Valves or Extenders

• Screw on
• Chrome-plated brass
• Used with standard tire valves or extenders
• Pack of 6
• Highly durable

Pros:

* No batteries required.

* Do not appreciable add to the weight of the vehicle.

Cons:

* Did not make my vehicle go any faster or improve my gas mileage.

* These shiny chrome additions did not turn my car into a "chick magnet" ... as I was hoping they would.

These caps did not come with any instructions so I have included the following hints, which I learned from my own experience:

* Install the caps when the vehicle is stopped. It is very difficult to install these on a moving vehicle.

* Turn them in a clockwise direction. For some reason counter-clockwise does not seem to work.

* Remove the caps before trying to inflate the tires.

* Despite the fact that they are covered with a shiny silver-like metal. Do not present these to your wife on your 25th anniversary as your gift.

OK, I'll be serious. These seem to be well made and durable. What else can you say about valve stem caps. I'm happy with mine.

They seem to work just fine. Be aware that they have a lead contamination warning sticker on them. So wash your hands after handling them.

I guess that is what I get for finding the cheapest valve covers i could.

When I purchased these valve covers I had no idea that almost 2 years later they would cost me $1,000.00 because I installed them on 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. Until yesterday I had no idea that the valve stems used on tire pressure monitoring sensors are made of aluminum. These valve covers are made of brass and because these are dissimilar metals galvanic corrosion will occur. Since installing these covers I have removed them several times to adjust tire pressures and did not suspect any problems. Last week we had our first cool evening and the next morning the tire pressure monitor indicated low tire pressure so I hauled out the compressor so I could check and adjust tire pressures. Much to my surprise I was unable to remove the valve covers. My first thought was that the auto dealer had cross-threaded them when they rotated the tires about 2 weeks previously. I then used a small wrench to try and remove the covers only to have the stem snap off. I thought that it was a fluke so I went to the next tire and the same thing happened. On the 3rd wheel the stem snapped and the valve core flew out and all the air came out of the tire. I put the donut spare on and the next mornng dropped the tire off at the dealer for repair. An hour later the dealer called to advise that the repair cost would be $250 because I was told that the sensor could not be repaired and had to be replaced. All 4 sensors will have to be replaced, hence the $1,000 repair cost because I lost 2 of the factory valve stem covers because they were slippery and difficult to grip.

You should only use plastic valve stem covers on TPMS equipped automobiles and the product description should include a warning against using this item on TPMS equipped automobiles. Simply stating that these are for standard valve stems is inadequate.
