Metal valve stems are good for high pressure uses. However, they have "pull through" high pressure stems that work fine now.

How do you work a valve stem remover?
I worked at a shop and when we would put on tires and new valve stem we would first cut the inside off or at least sever it and then you screw on the puller to the valve and use the rim as a fulcrum and pull out the old valve stem. Then you should lube up the new valve stem stick it through the hole and attach the remover and pull it through till it snaps in place.
How do you deflate a BOSU Ball?
Use a dull knife to get under the valve stem. Simultaneously pull up with your finger guiding it and it should release.
How to use a tire pressure gage?
Tire pressure gauges are simple to use. Just take the valve stem off the tire and insert the gauge end into the stem fully. You will then get your accurate tire pressure reading. Just replace the valve stem and you're done.
Can you use oil treatment for bad valve stem seals?
No, oil treatment will react in the same way as regular oil. Replace the valve seals.
What are the benefits of using a tire machine?
Unless one is a skilled mechanic, one should not use a tyre machine. One should have safety glasses, mounted tire and rim valve stem remover, valve core remover,a tire tool bar and tire lubricant before attempting to use a tyre machine.
When is it safe to remove the old packing from a valve under pressure?
If you are referring to the stem packing, you should be able to do it with no problem under pressure. Shut the valve off, take off the handle, then the nut with the packing in it, remove the old packing, replace it and reinstall the nut and handle. Open the faucet completely and that should be it.. Some valves use a rubber formed packing instead of the graphite or Teflon rope packing. Generally you can use either in place of the rubber or use a small amount around the stem with the old rubber.
How to Install a Gate Air Valve?
Unlike traditional check valves, gate valves have very low flow resistance, thanks to the straight-through design of the wetted area. Stainless steel is also corrosion-resistant, and will not leach into the medium it passes through. It can be used in areas where corrosive fluids are present, and it can be used in drinking water. Despite its low resistance to fluids, the valve is relatively easy to maintain. Before installation, clean the sealing surface and cavity of the gate valve, and tighten the packing. The valve seat is attached to the body of the valve by a screw and can be either rising or falling. When fully opened, a gate valve exposes the stem of the gate. A sealing gland in the body compresses the packing and creates a tight seal. A rising stem gate valve is suitable for above-ground installation. The valve is not recommended for use with corrosive liquids. It is advisable to install a gate valve with a high-flow capacity. The stem of a gate valve is attached to the body of the valve. The rising stem is connected directly to the gate. This is a visual indication of the valve's position. The nonrising stem is threaded into the body and has a pointer at the top. It is best suited for applications that have little vertical space and do not want to scrape. If a rising stem is necessary, it should be installed with the valve's body. A gate valve has two parts. The body is the largest. The valve's spindle is attached to the body. The body contains two springs which act as hinges. The spring is an internal component that provides a tight seal. A spherical valve is more efficient than a lever valve. A pressure-sensitive model is a type of ball valve. This design also provides higher pressure than the other type. The bonnet is made from steel. A gate valve has two types of bonnets: a non-rising stem and a rising stem. The rising stem is used in high pressure service. In a non-rising stem, the stem is stationary. The non-rising stem has a single disc. During a closed valve, the disc and the stem move up and apart. The media is then allowed to pass through. The fully open gate valve provides minimal resistance and little pressure drop. A gate valve has two types of seats: the rising and the falling stem. The rising stem is fixed to the gate and rises and falls together with the valve. The rising stem is fixed to the gate, while the sinking one is mounted between two seats. The rising and the falling stem are fixed together. The roses and falling stems are connected to each other by a threaded rod, which is threaded into the valve. The wedged gate is the most common type. It has two inclined seats. When the gate is closed, it will not stick to the seat. A wedge-shaped valve can be used for high-pressure applications. However, it is not recommended for use in corrosive fluids. Its flexibility allows it to withstand high-pressure conditions, such as high-temperature environments. The flexible wedge is a good choice for corrosive fluids. AVK Singapore Pte Limited Address: 40 Gambas Crescent Nordcom 2 757018 Singapore Telephone : +6562141048 Working Hours - 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM
When soldering copper pipe and use the propane torch and how much open the vertical valve?
What valve?...on the torch? Open it up enough to play a good flame. If you are soldering on a valve, you need to take out the valve stem from the body unless you want to melt the seats. Opening the valve is not enough.
Can you use fix a flat in a tire with a monitoring system?
You probably could if it were the only option but the valve stem/sensor may have to be replaced.
What part needs to be replaced on a 95 Ford Range double cab truck when gas is gushing out by the engine out of something that looks like a valve stem?
dissconect fuel line and clean up gas then use air to pressurize then find exact leaks and if only valve stem go to parts house ask for removal tool and valve core
What if the valve stem on a tire must exert a certain force on the air within to prevent any of that air from leaking out?
The valve in a tire valve stem is a Schrader valve, it is a one way valve that is spring loaded shut. If air is leaking out, it is usually dirty and the dirty is holding it open preventing it from sealing/ or never reinstalled properly during last service. There is a tool to remove the valve, for quick deflating/servicing. Use soapy water or cleaner like windex/fantastic to check if it's leaking. If it is it will foam/bubble up.
Commercial use of sodium?
Pure sodium? A lot of engines have "sodium cooled valves." They drill out the valve stem and fill it with metallic sodium, which melts at a low temperature. After the sodium melts, it sloshes around in the valve and pulls the heat away from the valve face, making the valve last longer and work better.
