Today we're going to take a look at the Firestone inflation valve for quarter inch tubing. Now this inflation valve or schrader valve will connect to air springs and other components that use the quarter inch air lines to provide a manual inflation point. This valve is an all brass construction, the valve does include this protective cap that'll screw on to help keep out dirt and water from getting into the valve.A few specs on this, the overall length with the cap on, it'll be right at two inches. The threaded portion length is right at 3/4 of an inch. And this is for a quantity of one valve with the cap.But that should do it for the review on the Firestone inflation valve for quarter inch tubing.

This inflation valve - or Schrader valve - connects to air springs and other components that use 1/4" air lines to provide a manual inflation point. Valve includes protective cap to keep out dirt and water.Valves are working but I had a problem with the valve stem on both of the Shrader valves. When initially installed both valves leaked at the valve stems, checked and tightened the valve stems but they still leaked. Purchased new valve stems, installed, and there were no leaks. The new valve stems that I purchased from an auto parts store looked better than the ones that came with the Shrader valves. There was no leaking where the 1/4 inch tubing was inserted into the Shrader valve so that worked well.
Jenny N - 04/11/2022These fittings are not easy to find for sale individually.
Mine were badly corroded from winter road salt.
Etrailer had them available at a great price.
Everywhere else that I looked either did not have them at all, or forced you to buy them in a complete kit which was $[XX]-$[XX].
Very happy with my first time purchase with etrailer. Will be doing business with them from now on
The Firestone Inflation Valve and 1/4" Tubing that I ordered fit perfect and there is no leakage of air in my trucks Air Bags even with many bumpy off road trips. The only issue was the length of time it took to ship to Canada. This was not etrailer’s fault as parts were held in Post Office and then at Border Crossing. I will assume because of the Covid 19 Pandemic
These worked perfectly when I needed a manual way to add air, in addition to the onboard Airlift wireless air compressor system I purchased from Etrailer. These two items make it easy to control the pressure in my airbags not only while not moving but I can adjust the air pressure in my Firestone Air bags while driving as well. As an added bonus the T connection can be easily removed if needed.
I needed these parts because my air hose was severed when I had a blowout in my motor home. The Firestone air hose tubing was back ordered and unavailable so I went to a local RV repair shop and they gave me some surplus tubing. The union connector saved the job because once it is securely attached to the 1/4" tubing it can also be detached. I cut the surplus tubing to the length needed for the job and attached the union connector and inflation valve. When I inflated the line, I immediately heard the sound of air escaping. I discovered some holes in the original line which, fortunately, were very near the union connector. I was able to disconnect the union, cut out the leaking hose and reconnect. It was a much tighter than I wanted, but it worked!
I found etrailer to be extremely helpful in locating and special ordering new fill valves for the air suspension system on my Pleasure Way class B camper (2006 Ford E-350). Efficiency, communications, and pricing could not have been better!
Lawrence V - 09/09/2019I purchased this set of Schrader valves for my air ride bags on my F250. I easily installed them through the bolt holes of my rear license plate frame. I used a 9/16" drill bit to widen the holes on my license plate to fit the stems. The easy hose attachment takes less than a second to remove and then attach the valves to your 1/4 air hose. Well made. The caps are extra deep and come with a built in valve removal tool.
These are much better then the ones that come with the Air Lift Load Lifter air spring kit.
Good description and a quality product at a great price. Everywhere in my area that had these wanted $16 for each but I got 2 on here with shipping for $14. And it got to me quick the shipping was on point. Now my airbag system can run each bag independent of the other like I want.
Just what I needed to complete my air bag install. Fast shipment.
vance e - 07/23/2021Simple and fast inflation valves for my air shocks. The fitting is a push to connect fitting for 1/4 in air line. Don't lose the nut though its got the special schrader valve thread that you can not replace with a hardware store nut.
Nate - 01/08/2018This is what I needed. My onboard electric air pump gave out. Very expensive to replace. I have a portable air compressure and with these in-expensive air valves by Firestone, did the trick! Happy with this purchase.
Jack W - 04/27/2017Works great. I highly recommend etraile r.
I needed replacement air valves for my Hellwig towing airbags on my truck. Looked all over town and on the Internet. The valves are of better quality then what came with the airbag kit. Only place that had them was Etrailer and to my surprise were well priced. Easy to place the order and showed up on my doorstep a couple days later. I am pleased with Etrailer.com and will buy from again.
This replaced a plastic ptc shrader valve. These Firestone fittings are top quality.
My install by me was Bigwig air bags by Hellwig.
Vehicle is Titan XD Diesel. The push to fit Schrader{inflation} valve from Hellwig are prone to leaking if your airline fit is not just so. Even after cutting the airline a number of times and blowing it out with air. Exterior threads on valve don't hold up to an airjack for inflation without thread damage. Valve from etrailer is a solid professional inflation valve. Had I known I would have spent the money for the etrailer valve. I have 42 years in trucking and my upcoming report to Hellwig won't win me any friends with them.
Ellen did a great job.
Since I replaced the 90 degree valves and air lines on my air bags, thought it would be good to replace these too. They work great and so far haven't had any trouble, such as leaking. Very good quality.
Bob D - 09/09/2017These valves are much higher quality than the ones provided with my Firestone Sport Rite shocks. The original valve threads stripped out during installation and the dust caps did not fit very well.
I had a leak at one Elbow connector and replaced all the connectors, 1/4 " Hose and Inflation Valves as a precaution of other leaks occurring on a ten year old product. Very easy and so far no leaks.
This was a great hook up for my air bags. A lot easier than the original part witch was a compression fitting. Just push on and ready to air up!
The product functioned as described and fixed the leak on the 1/4-inch line serving my air suspension. Although it has only been installed a few days, it appears to be quality made. I anticpate years of service. My only complaint is that the treaded portion was not quite as long as that of the part it replaced. That said, it was adequate for the job & I am very happy.
Jim M this product was as ordered functions as it should I am very satisfied would order again
Super fast shipment! The product was a top quality product made by firestone and arrived in great packaging. Excellent communication from etrailer.com
what i like about this product is it is fast and easy to use
This inflation valve was a replacement for a bad valve that came with my air bags
