Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- TPMS sensors designed for a short 1098-style snap-in valve
- TPMS sensors with the matching parallel-key attachment
- Wheel applications operating at no more than the listed cold-pressure rating
Product Overview
A good tire-pressure sensor does not need to be discarded because the rubber valve has cracked, aged, or started leaking at the wheel. This service valve lets the compatible sensor move to a fresh snap-in stem when the key shape and screw connection match.
The rubber stem seals in the wheel hole while the parallel-key end attaches to a compatible TPMS sensor. It is not vehicle-universal; sensor mounting style, wheel-hole size, pressure rating, screw, and tightening torque control fitment.
Key Features & Performance
- Short rubber snap-in valve for compatible clamp-to-sensor TPMS service
- Parallel-key sensor interface
- Cross-references 31 Inc 17-50398 and 1098-style valves
- Allows a sound sensor to be reused when only its valve has failed
Replaces Part Numbers
- 17-50398
- 1098
Common Uses
- Replacing a cracked or leaking rubber TPMS valve
- Installing a reusable sensor into another compatible wheel
- Renewing the valve during tire replacement
- Repairing a valve-base leak without replacing a working sensor
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Snap-In TPMS Valve
- Body Style: Short rubber stem
- Sensor Interface: Parallel key
- Sensor Screw Torque: Approximately 11.5 in-lb when specified for the matching sensor
- Maximum Cold Inflation Pressure: 65–80 PSI depending on application specification
- Condition: New
Installation & Fitment
- Verify the sensor accepts the parallel-key 1098-style valve
- Inspect the wheel hole and sensor for corrosion or damage
- Use new specified hardware and tighten the sensor screw to its service torque
- Pull the valve in with the proper tool, avoid loading the sensor, inflate, and leak-test
Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Production date, serial number, engine option, dimensions, connections, and previous repairs can change the part used within the same model. Compare the removed item and service information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this valve compatible with every TPMS sensor? A: No. It only fits sensors using the matching parallel-key attachment and service dimensions.
Q: Can I reuse the old sensor screw? A: Use the new specified service hardware when supplied and follow the sensor maker’s torque requirement; overtightening can crack the sensor.
Q: How should fitment be confirmed before ordering? A: Use the compatible list as a starting point, then compare the original reference number, dimensions, connections, mounting details, production date, and equipment or engine serial information.
Q: Is this supplied by the original equipment manufacturer? A: This is a new aftermarket part. The brand and model names identify the applications it is intended to service.
