Large Bore Valves

About

Large bore valves are the heavy-duty valve solution for commercial trucks, buses, trailers, and off-road equipment that require higher airflow rates and greater durability than standard passenger car valve stems can provide. The larger bore diameter allows faster inflation and deflation — critical for high-volume fleet operations and OTR service where time spent inflating tires directly impacts productivity. Haltec is the industry authority on large bore valve technology, and this collection covers their three primary large bore configurations. Rim spuds are permanently installed valve housings that mount directly into the wheel hole, providing a robust base for attaching valve cores and caps — ideal for fleet and commercial applications where valve reliability is paramount. Straight valves thread directly into rim spuds or valve holes for a clean, low-profile installation suited to standard wheel clearances. Turret valves feature an angled or offset design that improves accessibility on wheels where straight valve access is restricted — commonly used on dual rear wheel configurations and tight-clearance commercial applications. All Haltec large bore valves are engineered to perform reliably under the high pressure and heavy-use conditions found in commercial trucking, fleet maintenance, and OTR service environments.
