Can the sensors be mounted on a rubber valve stem or do the valve stems have to be metal?

Forgot to add - very well made and reliable. Use mine constantly as I drive with the Airstream behind. Good to watch the pressure and heat rise as we drive.

Tom, mine are on 1 1/2" short rubber stems and they're fine. I'd imagine with 2" or longer stems they may get woobly.

Correct. These sensors are the same style found on millions of cars worldwide. if they sell tires they'll know how to deal with TPMS sensors.For technical assistance service techs can call 800 288 1804 and speak to one of our technical service reps who can answer any questions.

stems are metal. come with metal bushing that pushes into wood. Installed as soon as got them. specifications are with description of item in catalog

No, they do not include valve stems. I had the tires mounted and stemmed at local tire shop.

There are no sensor ports. If you want to add EGT, or other sensors you'll have to drill holes and weld on the threaded ports.

No. I had to replace my sensor awhile back because I was getting hot water through the cold water tap. You need the sensor valve for it to work correctly.

With a flow through sensor, you can add air to the tire without taking off the sensor, the sensor acts as a valve cap.

it doesn't matter if it's metal or plastic, as long as you install them correctly. Keep in mind when installing, don't push the sensors from the center but instead push them by outer edge into their place.

Not that I am aware of.My only complaint about this gauge is the fact that it is not easy to attach securely to the valve stem. Otherwise I think it is great, but I'm not aware of any other attachments for it.

The sensor has a key hole on the back so it can be mounted on a screw or nail. NOTE, the sensor is not waterproof.

One sensor... remember you need two if you want to monitor the standard set of tires on a motorcycle. :)

Yes, but the sensors only work for a few weeks, I had to returned mine. It's not worth it. It's will cost you more to install than the product.

J. Moore (thank you!) contacted the manufacturer and revealed its purpose in the Comments:"You might be interested to know that after contacting the manufacturer, I learned that this extra part is a spare mounting bracket in case you want to mount the sensor control lower onto the valve assembly. They sent me a variety of pictures (too voluminous for me to send to you here) describing exactly how one would make this attachment change. If you need to know more, you could call them at 1-800-488-6156 (7am-5pm MDT/Mon-Fri). They couldn't have been more helpful."

I think that rear tire is short cut for rear wheel. If not then you can not mount sensor on any tires. Rear wheel is fine.

Hi Gary, The valve stems are sold separately and can usually be purchased from the installation facility. Thanks, BWT

Hi, John. It is a complete sensor that you have to put the stem on with one screw. Simple. I put a set on a 2011 Wrangler, and after driving the car a couple of miles it picked them up. No programming on that one. Not sure about your application though.
