For nearly 50 years, Haltec Corporation has been the leader in the tire valve industry. When underground mines were transitioning from rail wheels to rubber tires, Haltec was there to design and manufacture the tire valve systems required to meet their technical needs.

As an ISO 9001/2015, with design certified company, Haltec Corporation’s Quality Policy is to lead the tire valve industry by meeting or exceeding industry standards and customer requirements at a competitive price.

Haltec Corporation’s products and services are designed to provide safe, efficient, and accurate tire inflation. Our goal is to provide the tire industry with the equipment and training required to enhance any organization’s “Tire Management Program.” Whether using air or nitrogen, the tire’s PSI and tread depth need to be accurate, and the method of inflation must be safe, simple, and fast.

AFTER FUEL, TIRES ARE OFTEN A FLEET’S LARGEST EXPENSE. THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE MAXIMUM TIRE LIFE IS THROUGH PROPER TIRE INFLATION.

The need to manage a tire and rim as an asset rather than an expense is the concern of every commercial fleet manager. The trick is to find a company that can provide the combination of quality tire valve hardware and inflation equipment which can competitively and consistently provide that service. Haltec Corporation provides a complete tire valve and inflation program designed specifically for the unique needs of each fleet. Including TR572, TR545D and N1147 radial commander valve stems.

BACKGROUND

Introduced in 1972, the Super Large Bore System, was designed to allow considerably greater air flow than the  traditional Large Bore Valve which was introduced much earlier.  As vehicles and tire sizes are increasing currently, Haltec developed and designed two new tire valve systems to make deflation and inflation of the massive tires quicker with Z-Bore and Mega Bore Haltec Valves.

SYSTEM COMPARISONS

Check out the chart to see the difference in sizes and characteristics which indicates are flow of the four valve systems:

FLOW DIAMETERS:

See cross section of valves to illustrate the varying flow diameters of all four valve hardware systems.  Increased air flow often with the same size rim hole is pretty interesting engineering.   McGee Company also offers hyrdoflating valves so you can fill tires faster with water in large bore situations as well.

Increasing your flow rate on valves saves time with inflation. Super large bore rates are more than three times that of large bore while large bore is four times faster than a standard bore!  The cost to service and downtime on this size vehicle makes these larger bore valves a bargain.
