Valve Seal Protector Sleeves

Fits 7mm Stem Valves, Pack of Ten

Once upon a time, protector sleeves were included with all valve seal sets. Back in the day when old school teflon seals were all the rage, protector sleeves were mandatory because teflon seals would certainly get damaged without a sleeve. As teflon seals became obsolete, they were replaced with a better design- modern day viton seals. Within a few years, protector sleeves were no longer included in seal sets and the sleeve supply dried up.

It's always made perfect sense to use a sleeve over the valve stem groove as it guarantees the seal will not get cut from any sharp edges in the groove area.

We've searched for them for years. In 2013, while at a trade show, we found a German manufacturer who could supply them. We've invested a lot of time and money to make protector sleeves once again, available.

Our intentions were to add them to all the seal sets but much to our surprise, we learned the cost was too high to just throw them in. For now, these sleeves can be ordered in a pack of Ten.

Easy to use. Just slip the sleeve over the valve and slide the seal right over the groove. See pictures for an example of a sleeve installed on a valve.
