How to Correctly Install Tire Pressure Valve Extenders

Question

Question:

Pls advise how tight to screw on the 135 degree valve extenders. The extenders still swivel easy when finger tight. Put an extra turn on with a wrench, need to find the right adjustment so doesnt leak air, and not over-tight. Thx

Yes, you will want to use a wrench to attach the Wheel Masters Tire Pressure Valve Extenders item # WM8029135. These will need to be snug on the valve or they will come off when you're driving down the road. They have an o-ring inside that will crush. I have linked a video below of one of our installers attaching a different angled valve extender on an RV.
