Adjustable tire pressure relief valves?

[Krazynative]

I'm looking for who makes and or sells these. I've googled them, but can only seem to find the ones that are mounted directly to the rim. I'd like a set that screw onto the valve stem.

I used a set from a member on the July 2011 meet here in socal.

I guess I'm just lazy, but man's lazyness is a result of ingenuity!

ugh dang cant remember the brand i had bought to tell you the truth they sucked bad. i was lazy but after using them not no more lol

I believe Staun is the brand best-known for deflators--just screw 'em on, and they drop to the preset level. They're kinda' pricey, but when you consider the hassle of doing it manually, it's worth it. No, I haven't got mine yet, but I intend to (too many other irons in the fire right now).

Well, thank you for your laziness, cause when I did a search your thread was at the top of the list. I knew it started with an "S" but do you think I could remember "Staun". :thanks: Bob

You need to get your priorities straight. :flipoff::lmao:

I know, I know--thinking of stupid little things like food, gas, and whether my truck will blow its coolant when the temp goes above 70--how silly of me!

Thanks Bucknut,

I'll do a search for them on Google.

Hey KN, I went digging around some of the stores I keep on "favorites" to see if they had these, and came up with another alternative--the ARB EZ Tire deflator (ARB505). It's a tool that you screw onto the valve stem, and with the turn of a knob, it grabs and removes the valve core--when the included gauge reads what you want, simply reinsert the core with the tool. It sounds pretty sweet, and it's only $35 at Low Range Offroad. I went ahead and ordered one, plus one of ARB's large-dial pressure gauges that's specifically made for the lower pressures of offroad use. I'm not sure where I saw those Staun deflators, but I believe they run about $80 for a set of 4. Best of luck!

UPDATE: Found the Staun deflators on 4by4connection.com. They have some for $67 a set, and a different range of pressures for $77. I'll see how the ARB unit works for now--if it takes forever, I'll get the Stauns down the road.

So I googled the Staun deflators... Found them online at JeepSwag.com for $68.10 shipped.

How is that ARB unit working?

I haven't had to use it yet--haven't been wheeling a lot lately. It does look like a solid piece, not some "as seen on TV" plastic clunker. The valve core is never open to the outside--once it's screwed on, everything happens inside the unit. You use a plunger-like device to grab the core, unscrew it, and then you pull on the plunger to let out air, push in to take a reading--once the nice rubber-armored gauge reads what you want, you screw the core back in using the plunger. I think it's going to work well. I also got one of ARB's pressure gauges that's highly accurate at low pressures, and they weren't kidding about a large dial--this thing is huge! It all looks like quality stuff.
