Because I can't reply to my earlier question. So how does this fit on a Schrader valve? because it seems to be too small, I can't even get it to go on

My works well. The connection is deeper then it looks. It can be a tight fit. The hard part is swinging the level up to clamp on to the valve if your tire is small. You may have to adjust the depth of the plunger in the valve. If it is too deep the clamp will not be able to fully push it down to allow air to enter. There is a small tool for that. A bike shop should be able to help with this. If there is not one near you most auto supply stores should have this tool as vehicle tires can have the same problem.

I'm not sure. It could have been something my son did. But, I will say, it is definitely worth a try especially with Amazon's great return policies. We still use it, you just have to get used to how to play it with the valve.

I wish I could answer your question. So far, I have tried every search, been to Lowe's and Ace (They usually have every answer) and so far I am coming up with nothing. I bought the Blue Source at the C-co and didn't realize I had a 3" valve and that the unit wouldn't fit until halfway through the install. I'm not giving up yet though.

I have this tool. I called the manufacturer before purchase and they will not guarantee it will work on your vehicle. I can tell you it likely will because it has a lot of different sizes. My advice is to buy the schrader valve first and verify the size and see if it is listed in the tool kit.

I agree with you, but unfortunately I'm not aware of a suitable replacement. I would look into replacing the entire valve stem assembly -- an experienced might be familiar with this issue and have a suggestion.

I have not, but it will work on any "schrader" (automotive style) valve stem equipped tire. the only issue you night have, is on a "larger" tire like a truck or motor home - because the compressor is a single stage; it is conceivable the compressor could "possible" get quite hot or over heat, from continued operation. I'm not saying this is a certainty - only a possible issue you could encounter, you may not. If so, simply give it a rest to cool down and continue operations after cooled down. No big deal. Just my thoughts. My works spectacularly on cars, motorcycles, lawn tractor - no issues.

Works best on a standard (Schrader) valve. The cap has a little tool built in to take the valve stem out and it is very easy to do. Presta valve stems are a little harder to do because you need an adapter (about $3 at Sports Authority) on it to pump the slime into the tube but is very do-able.

You should be able to use clamp on this connector, but the problem is that the topeak connector doesn't work with all schrader valves. I can't use it for example to fill the tires on my motorcycle.

Yes, it will work with both Presta (skinny) and Schrader (fat - like on kids bikes) valves.

The threaded stem is the same size as the stem it goes over, the tire stem. Your valve cap will fit on, your pump will fit etc.It is a standard schrader valve size, 8mm diameter

See R. Cheeseman's post of January 18, 2014. It certainly appears he's in the know about what you're needing for a European sized valve fit.

I only used it with the valve it was designed for. I did not try to utilize it with any other models.

I think the previous answers pretty much sum it up. I had a problem with it also. The top of the mounting bracket kept coming off with the upward pressure, but with persistence, and holding the top of the mounting bracket, upward pressure and a twist will do it. I think it's a bad design but it will fit.

Check qwikvalve.com for your vehicle. Just enter your make and model on their homepage. The valve works great!

Dad2Three is right. Just one more note on this. At least on my pump, the nut on the head of the pump was impossible for me to loosen by hand since it was so tight. I could only loosen it with the careful use of a vice grip. I didn't want to break the nut, so I put wrapped a rag around it to avoid scratching or damaging the nut, and I didn't squeeze too hard on the nut. I was able to loosen it this way and then do what Dad2Three said to make it work for presta valves.

I am using presta, but the size of the hole in the rim is irrelevant. The valves are different, but the presta body is the same size at the base as the schraeder. So either one will fit.

All valve stem covers are generally the same size unless from a dramtaically larger tire. There is no good reason they wouldn't ft a standard sized tire, as maybe 90% of all tires are. Off topic, WHY are you purchasing such cheap valve stem covers/caps for such a nice vehicle?
