ABSTRACT:
A tire air pressure valve assembly is described that has an air sealing surface disposed toward or inside the metal wheel of a vehicle, and a protective housing surrounding a portion of the valve. The valve has an external stem with a built in break away feature which prevents external damage to the valve stem from damaging the sealing surface located inside the tire and wheel. The location of the seating/sealing surface inside the wheel, or inside a housing mounted on the wheel, provides protection from collision induced sudden tire pressure loss due to valve damage incurred during collisions or simply being struck by an object in a car wash or on the street.
