ABSTRACT:
A filler and pressure indicator valve having a housing with a main valve openable upon depression by a conventional filler tool upon adding air to the tire and automatically closeable upon release of the tire filling tool. A shaft is slidable through the main valve, and on the inner end of the shaft there is a sensor valve. The sensor valve is normally closed but responds to a low pressure condition within the tire to open, moving the shaft inwardly and releasing a pop-up cap on the end of the shaft to trigger a visual sensor element. The device can be adjusted to settings for different desired air pressure levels below which the sensor valve will be actuated.
