I am looking for an all steel tire type valve that has 1/8npt on the other end. Has to be high pressure too. Anyone have any idea where to source such a fitting. They are fairly common and usually used for heavy equipment nitrogen filled things. Any help would be awesome!

What is it for? what are you threading it into? I can source just about any type of valve as long as I have physical dimension criticals to go by(max height, diameter, etc)

Some of the heavy equipment tires are filled with liquid calcium and use a similar valve.

I ended up finding it at Omni Services (Shako). I am re-charging my brake “bomb” accumulator with nitrogen.

I had a feeling you were going to be the one to respond though, lol. Thanks man!

Be careful with that. ALOT of pressure in those things when fully charged. It’s ~154 BAR on the Porsches. I don’t even fuck with them, just R&R or eliminate.

Yeah, the Audi one is around 90 bar. There’s a write on how to do it so I’ll give it a shot.

I think [polyperformance.com](http://polyperformance.com) sells em. They are a fox/racerunner/king parts dealer and I believe thats the same fitting that is found on air shocks.
