ABSTRACT:
A flexible air valve extension for filling an inaccessible vehicle spare tire includes an elongated flexible tube having a rigid elbow portion at one end which terminates in an internally threaded fitting dimensioned for engagement with a conventional tire valve. An externally threaded valve body at an opposite end of the flexible tube is received through a transverse flange of a mounting bracket. A pair of lock nuts are in threaded engagement with the valve body on opposite sides of the flange and secure the valve body to the bracket. The valve body includes a spring biased valve dimensioned for cooperation with conventional automotive pressure gages and air lines. The bracket is dimensioned for securement on an accessible portion of a vehicle, such as the frame of a spare tire carrier.
