How about this 1921 advertisement for Schrader valve caps? --Christopherlin 06:43, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Access Valves

I was informed today that the true name for a Schrader Valve is actually Access Valve. I don't remember the conversation vividly, but I believe it had something to do with Schrader being a trademarked name for a brand of Access Valve. Anyone out there who can shine some light on this?

[edit] Non-cycling applications

Schrader (Shrader, Shraider) valves are also used in water distribution and storage tank applications. I'm not an expert and cannot explain all their modes of operation, but one purpose is to release excess air from a water system. In a pressure tank, they may also allow air to enter to maintain the correct balance. I hope someone can add this type of information to this entry an disambiguate it from the cycling application. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.31.177 (talk) 16:20, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Valve Animation

I created an animation of a valve that opens and closes, because I think it is easier to understand than text and static images. How can I put the image on the page? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Schrader_valve_opening_and_closing_on_a_tire.gif —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.225.69.135 (talk) 17:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
