TR-48E Passenger Car & Light Trucks

The Fortune TR-48E is designed for passenger car and light truck applications, featuring a 48 mm reach and a Φ11.5 mm (.453″) rim hole fit. These passenger car and light truck valves feature a Φ14 mm body and an ET/BT dual-cap configuration to meet different service requirements. The TR-48E uses an HRG2×2 / RW5 / HN2×2 accessory configuration and completes the TR-E series’ three-tier reach lineup of 33 mm, 43 mm, and 48 mm. For distributors sourcing .453″ rim hole valves with dual-cap flexibility, the TR-48E offers a long-reach option for aftermarket supply and inventory planning.

Fortune metal tire valve: the engineering advantage

The TR-48E’s engineering advantage translates into three concrete benefits for B2B buyers. The 48mm effective length delivers near-deep reach within the slim 14mm TR-E platform, addressing deep-contour rim wells where TR-33E and TR-43E fall short but TR416L’s 16.7mm body would be over-thick. The HRG2x2 high-grade rubber sealing system maintains airtight integrity across temperature and pressure variations. Combined with the ET/BT dual cap and 1,000-piece case packing, the TR-48E preserves the TR-E series’ signature SKU consolidation for distributors and brand owners.

48mm Near-Deep Reach

The 48mm effective length extends the TR-E platform's reach into deep-contour rim wells, beyond TR-43E's 43mm coverage. This near-deep reach avoids the over-thick 16.7mm body of TR416L, preserving the slim 14mm advantage for narrow-bore fitment.

HRG2x2 + 14mm Body Sealing System

The HRG2x2 grommet is formulated for the slim 14mm body, maintaining airtight integrity across temperature swings and pressure variations. This matched rubber-and-body pairing reduces leak-related returns and supports long service intervals in commercial use.

ET/BT Dual Cap Configuration

Available with either ET or BT cap, the TR-48E lets distributors stock one SKU while serving multiple cap-preference markets. This dual-cap flexibility simplifies procurement and reduces inventory complexity for buyers with diverse customer bases.

Fortune metal tire valve applications

Our metal tire valves deliver absolute structural integrity and guaranteed air retention for the most demanding industrial, commercial, and high-performance applications. Engineered specifically to withstand extreme tire pressures, high-speed centrifugal forces, and severe operational temperatures, these valves provide guaranteed OE-level fitment and long-term durability. We manufacture precise sealing solutions that integrate directly into heavy-duty operations across three core vehicle sectors.

commercial fleets & heavy-duty trucks

Designed specifically for continuous radial stress in long-haul logistics. Our heavy-duty commercial metal tire valves (including the V3.20 and TR500 series) are CNC-machined to precisely fit standard 9.7 mm (0.390") and 15.7 mm (0.625") heavy-duty truck rim holes. Engineered for a strict installation torque of 10 to 14 Nm (88-124 in-lbs), they are manufactured to sustain extreme maximum cold inflation pressures up to 200 PSI (1380 kPa). The solid brass construction, combined with severe-environment EPDM O-rings rated for continuous heat exposure up to 130°C (266°F), maintains a perfect airtight seal against the extreme heat radiated from commercial brake drums, ensuring zero air loss on standard heavy-duty steel and aluminum truck wheels.

high-performance passenger vehicles

Engineered for high-speed dynamic stability at speeds exceeding 240 km/h (150 mph). Our passenger metal tire valves utilize a strictly toleranced mechanical clamp-in structure, CNC-machined to an exact ±0.01 mm precision. Featuring heavy-duty hex nuts designed for a strict installation torque of 4 to 6 Nm (35-55 in-lbs), they securely lock into standard 11.3 mm (0.453") valve holes on high-performance aluminum alloy wheels. This construction maintains absolute physical rigidity against extreme highway centrifugal forces, mathematically guaranteeing air retention at maximum cold inflation pressures up to 100 PSI. Coated with an advanced anti-corrosion finish verified by 96 hours of Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) testing, they deliver precise fitment and guaranteed high-speed safety for Tier-1 automotive assembly lines.

agricultural & off-the-road (OTR) machinery

Built for massive payload compressions and severe terrain impacts. Our large-bore agricultural and OTR metal tire valves (such as the TR-618A series) feature heavily reinforced solid metal walls engineered to fit standard 15.7 mm (0.625") rim holes. Equipped with specialized fast-flow core housings (such as the CH-3), they deliver up to 300% higher air-flow rates than standard valves to facilitate rapid liquid ballast filling and high-volume inflation. Utilizing advanced EPDM compounds rated for extreme temperature fluctuations from -40°C to +120°C (-40°F to +248°F), they provide maximum physical resistance against mud and direct mechanical impacts. This mathematically guarantees constant tire pressure under extreme payloads and sustained inflation limits up to 150 PSI in mining, construction, and heavy agricultural environments.
