Value Collection BD20068 Tire Open Eye Needle

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD20068 is a tire open eye needle used for inflating tires and transferring air or other gases through valve stems and similar ports. The open eye design at the tip allows the needle to accept inflation hoses, gauges, or adapters without a closed-end obstruction. This type of needle is a standard service tool found in tire shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and general automotive service bays. Technicians use it when servicing passenger vehicle tires, trailer tires, and similar pneumatic applications requiring a direct inflation or pressure-check connection.

This needle is suited for light-duty tire inflation tasks in both shop and field environments. It is a single-piece consumable or replacement component, packaged individually, making it practical to keep on hand as a spare in a service kit or toolbox. The compact form factor allows it to fit in tight spaces around valve stems where larger inflation chucks may not seat properly.

Key Features

• Open eye tip design allows direct connection to inflation hoses and gauge adapters
• Compact needle profile for access to recessed or tight valve stem locations
• Single-unit packaging for individual replacement or kit restocking
• Lightweight construction at approximately 0.01 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard open eye inflation needle suitable for general tire service applications involving conventional valve stems.

Installation Notes

Tire inflation needles are typically handled by automotive or fleet service technicians during routine tire maintenance. Before connecting any inflation needle to an air supply, verify the system pressure does not exceed the rated capacity of the tire being serviced. Inspect the needle for damage or debris before each use, as a bent or obstructed tip can affect seating and cause air leakage. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when working with pressurized air systems.
