The Function of the Valve Cap

The valve cap plays an indispensable role in vehicle maintenance. First of all, its main task is to protect the valve core, by preventing dust, water, oil and other impurities from invading, thereby maintaining the integrity of the valve core sealing rubber and extending its service life. Secondly, the valve cap ensures a stable sealing state after the tire is inflated, which is essential for the normal operation of the tire.

If the installation of the valve cap is neglected for a long time, the valve core may leak and inflate slowly due to the erosion of impurities such as sand and dust. Although it may not cause tire leakage immediately in a short period of time, it undoubtedly increases the safety risk in the long run.

In addition, the valve cap can also keep the appearance of the vehicle clean and beautiful. Some specially designed valve caps have anti-theft functions, which can effectively prevent the valve from being maliciously damaged or stolen by others.

In summary, although the vehicle may not immediately have serious problems without the valve cap in the short term, in order to ensure the long-term use of the valve core, improve driving safety and maintain the clean appearance of the vehicle, it is strongly recommended that the owner install and use the valve cap.
