Overview
The Gorilla Automotive FT-1 is a valve stem filler tube made for use with Gorilla Flush Mount Valve Stems. The brand’s details also label it universal fit, but beyond that companion-part note no wheel or vehicle is named.
It is intended as the matching filler tube for those flush mount stems.
Flush mount valves and fill tubes
Flush mount valve stems sit close to the wheel face, which leaves little room for tools and makes seating the valve core more fiddly. A filler tube is an accessory that helps direct air or sealant into the stem during service. Keep the stem and tube clean, since grit on the seat is a common reason for slow leaks after a tire is mounted.
Check the rubber body and seal before installation. Cracks, hardening, or a seat that does not sit flat are signs the stem should be replaced rather than reused. Tighten the core gently, since over-tightening can damage the seal, and check the stem for leaks after inflating the tire.
- Clean the seat before installing
- Inspect the stem body for cracks
