Back to: "V"valve core
- Definição1
- A spring-loaded air valve screwed into a metal tube installed in an aircraft wheel. When the tire mounted on the wheel is being inflated, the stem of the valve core is depressed by the air chuck, and air flows into the tire. When the air chuck is removed, the stem seats in the valve core, and the air is trapped in the tire. To deflate the tire, the valve stem is depressed, allowing air to flow through the core.
