In addition to the classic valves for car, truck and motorcycle, ALLIGATOR product range also includes special valves for tractors or earth-moving machines. An ongoing exchange of ideas and experience between ALLIGATOR and its customers has created a partnership based on trust and innovation.
As the leading manufacturer of valves, ALLIGATOR always sets out to meet the ever-increasing demands on tire valves with high levels of quality and safety. The tire pressure monitoring system that is built into ALLIGATOR are TPMS valves: through tire pressure monitoring and the direct indication of any pressure loss, they ensure driver’s safety. If the tire pressure is incorrect, which often stays undetected without a tire pressure monitoring system, the braking distance is increased and the cornering ability is impaired.
Advice on choosing and installing tire valves:
Finding the right tire valve for the car, truck or motorcycle and installing it correctly requires a great deal of expertise and should only be carried out by trained personnel.
The rubber and metal tire valves in the ALLIGATOR product range offer the optimal solution for every requirement. The tire pressure valve sensors incorporated in the TPMS valves ensure that every tire is optimally protected against loss of pressure.
The rubber valves for cars made by ALLIGATOR fit perfectly into the rim. The snap-in valves comply with OEM requirements, which are considerably more stringent than the ETRTO (European Tire and Rim Technical Organisation) standard. They are suitable for all steel and aluminium rims and should only be used at speeds of up to 210 km/h.
One advantage of the rubber valves is that the elastic valve stem allows individual adjustment and makes it easier to measure the tire pressure.
As rubber valves are subject to a natural aging process, it is important to change them at every tire change. To assist with this, all ALLIGATOR valves are marked with the year of manufacture.
The metal valves – also called clamp-in valves – offer a higher level of stability and tightness, which is a particular advantage when tire pressures are high. They can be used at speeds of above210 km/h. They handle the centrifugal force better and therefore do not bend out of shape. This makes them the ideal solution for heavy-duty wheels on fast cars or transporters. The extremely high quality of the ALLIGATOR valves ensures that tires are sufficiently safe.
In addition to universal metal valves, ALLIGATOR also offers metal valves with ASC seals. The seal concept used in the ASC-HT metal valves ensures that the tightening forces are introduced directly into the metal of the rim. This allows the seal to do its job without being affected by external forces.
CVV Easy : combines the benefits of rubber and metal valves
The design of the CVV Easy tire valve combines the pressure load capacity of a metal valve with the easy installation of a snap-in rubber valve. The pressure disc holds the valve securely in the wheel, even under high operating pressures. Also suitable for transporters and motorhomes.
ALLIGATOR has the right valve for practically every vehicle model. By using the appropriate accessories, car -, truck - and motorcycle valves can be fitted just as easily and safely as sensors.
In addition to a large selection of standard valves, the ALLIGATOR valve range also includes TPMS valves and a variety of special solutions. Whether you need valves for a bicycle or motorcycle, for a car or truck, for a tractor or earth-mover, ALLIGATOR has the right valve for every need.
The valves have to withstand heavy loads during their service life and are subject to many different external influences. This can cause a loss of pressure and therefore be a safety risk. That is why valves should be replaced at each tire change.
The high-quality rubber valves for cars by ALLIGATOR fit perfectly into the rim. Their advantage is that the elastic valve stem allows the tyre valve to be adjusted to suit the particular angle when checking the air pressure – this makes the work in the workshop easier. ALLIGATOR snap-in rubber valves also meet the highest standards – they have been tested and manufactured in accordance with OEM requirements for car valves. These are significantly more stringent than ETRTO and DIN standards. Since valves should also be replaced when changing tires or wheels, ALLIGATOR car valves are also marked with the year of manufacture. Because of the natural aging process of rubber valves, you can therefore be sure that the car valves are suitable for use and meet your requirements when changing your wheels. It is also possible for tyre valves to be individually marked. Snap-in valves can be used on a wide range of vehicle types and they are also suitable for all steel and aluminium rims at speeds of up to 210 km/h. For speeds above 210 km/h, we recommend using either metal valves (clamp-in) or valve supports to limit the valve deflection to a maximum angle of 25° when travelling at such high speeds.
ALLIGATOR car valves made out of metal are manufactured based on OEM requirements and are therefore the perfect choice when only the highest quality is needed. These metal valves are optimised for heavy duty wheels of fast cars and transporters that travel at speeds over 210 km/h. At high speeds the centrifugal force makes traditional rubber valves bend out of shape: this doesn’t happen to the clamp in metal valves of ALLIGATOR. The adherence of ALLIGATOR car valves to strict quality standards ensures the safety not only of the tires, but also of the driving. In addition to universal metal valves, ALLIGATOR also offers metal valves with ASC seals. The advanced seal concept used in the ASC-HT metal valves ensures that the tightening forces are introduced directly into the metal of the rim. This allows the seal to do its job without being affected by external forces.
Motorcycle valves are important for anyone who rides a scooter or a motorcycle. Without the correct motorcycle or scooter valve, an accident can happen or your vehicle could get seriously damaged. At ALLIGATOR you can be sure to find the right valve you need for your motorcycle or scooter.
All ALLIGATOR motorcycle valves have a sealed cap and a special valve insert that makes them reliable and safe. Having the correct tire pressure and using the right motorcycle valve is particularly important for ensuring safe driving. Regular checks are therefore essential. The valves should always be replaced when the tires are changed, otherwise damage could be caused to the motorcycle or an accident could occur.
ALLIGATOR offers many different scooter valves. ALLIGATOR snap in valves are ideal for speeds of up to 210 km/h and can be used as car valves, motorcycle valves and scooter valves. ALLIGATOR also sells angle valves for motorcycles that are particularly good for unlimited speeds. Our range includes an extensive selection of curved rim valves, such as 90° rubber scooter valves, snap-in valves and aluminium angle valves. At ALLIGATOR, you will find all kinds of products relating to scooter valves so you can be sure that you are fitting high-quality products.
It is recommended that every time you change your tires, you also change the motorcycle valve to avoid heavy wear and major damage. When you race at high speed on the highway, the right valve and the right air pressure is vital, so you should also regularly test the air pressure and replace the valve. To help you ride safely, we also have the right motorcycle valve for you, such as the 90° rubber roller valve, snap-in valves and aluminum angle valves. The ALLIGATOR product line can certainly help you elsewhere. ALLIGATOR products range from the very small to the very large. In addition to motorcycle valves, we also carry a large selection of car and truck valves as well as tire valve accessories.
At ALLIGATOR, the quality of our products is extremely important to us. As the leading manufacturer in the valve sector, we have made it our business not only to meet our customers requirements, but also to inspire them: together we meet the daily growing challenges with constantly new solutions and ideas.
Over the decades, ALLIGATOR has developed into a powerful brand for sensors, valves and accessories. The product range covers car valves, truck valves and motorcycle valves for virtually every kind of vehicle. The ALLIGATOR product portfolio also has everything you could wish for when it comes to sensors and electronics.
Truck valves have to withstand heavy loads during their service life and are subject to many external influences. Any resulting loss of tyre pressure presents a significant safety risk for all road users. A drop in pressure will result in longer braking distances and it is also not uncommon for control loss of the vehicle. Our truck valves are finished with a nickel coating to protect the surface from wear, corrosion and external damage.
ALLIGATOR truck valves for commercial vehicles are nickel-plated to protect them against corrosion. When combined with the V2B double seal valve cap, these truck valves are the optimal solution for haulage contractors, bus companies and transport associations.
ALLIGATOR offers the right valves especially for these highly stressed wheels. CVVEASY, for example, combines the pressure load capacity of a metal valve with the ease of installation of a snap-in rubber valve. The thrust washer thus holds the valve securely in the wheel even under high pressure loads.
The patented design of the CVVEasy tyre valve combines the pressure load capacity of a metal valve with the easy installation of a snap-in rubber valve. The optimised seal contour and highly flexible sealing lip on the car valve ensure optimal tightness in the rim. The pressure disc holds the tyre valve securely in the wheel, even under high operating pressures.
To remove the car valve, simply cut through and remove the pressure disc at the predefined breaking point using pliers or a screwdriver. The car valve can then be pulled out of the valve hole quite easily without needing any special tools. As well as saving time, this design also virtually eliminates the risk of damaging the rim with removal tools.
These valves are suitable mainly for transporters and motorhomes which are exposed to considerable loads during daily use.
The wide passage allows the large tires to be filled with water in a short time, after removing the valve insert, to improve the tractive power of the tractor. Despite filling with water, the usual air filling of the tires cannot be dispensed with. The tractor tires can be filled with water and emptied completely using the appropriate water filling fittings.
ALLIGATOR offers air and water valves for agricultural use for filling tractor tyres with water reliably and safely. Once the valve insert has been removed, the wide aperture enables large tyres to be filled with water quickly to improve the traction of the tractor. Of course, filling the tyres with water does not mean that they don't need to be filled with air as standard. When filling with water and emptying the tractor tyres completely, appropriate water filling fittings are used. In our product range we have a comprehensive selection of straight and curved rim valves, snap-in valves, tractor valves, tube valves and tube valves with a rubber base. At ALLIGATOR, you will find all the high-quality products you need for your tractor wheels.
Oversized and large-volume tires are mainly equipped with so-called earth mover valves (large bore valves). These valves have particularly wide bore cross-sections that allow the required amounts of air to flow through quickly. The most common valve configuration for oversized tires is the combination of an EM rim base with the corresponding EM upper. The matching EM top can be easily and quickly fitted into the EM rim base.
