Howdy Mate!!! Yeah they are a bit hard to get your hands on, i usually get the pop in rubber schrader valves, i just say i need it for a science project. There was this one time i went into my local bridgestone tire shop, and asked for 2 rubber ones, he goes what for? so i said science project, and then he said to me "what are you installing it into" so i said PVC (which i was) he goes these are no good for you, goes to the back of the shop opens this draw, and pulls out 2 metal schrader valves with rubber seals, (they were brand new) and he gave me 2 for free!!!
That was my day, free metal tire valves, got a metre of 2" pressure pipe for the price of DWV (guy put it in wrong) an i got alot of other cheap and free stuff!!
Yeah so head down to your local tire shops, if there is a bridgestone place ask them, say its for a school project or make up a reasonable excuse!!
BTW it was threaded, heres some pics of it:
Hope this helps, thursto ~

If you have a local ace hardware store you can go on there web site and order them to be delivered to the store, the place I usually get mine is Mcmaster.com, they have just about everything. They have a couple of different sizes, I think they have 1/8" and 1/4'' npt pipe fittings.
I buy mine from a shop called the pump house although if you go to any shop that sells and repairs pumps they should have them. They are 1/8" NPT.
Edit: When I say pump shop I meen water pumps.

wannabie i think theres a water pump and irrigations shop near me i'll check it out
if i get desperate i'll order one but i'll more likely just use a pop in rubber one if brigestone doesen't have them

My Dad used to own a Mitre10 and he said the Mitre10 company sent some lucky SOB's over to America to replicate a Home Depot store and call it Mitre 10 Mega, hence the orange colour of the store and the big American size, pity they didn't bother to replicate the prices.Thursto wrote:Allright cool, yeah bunnings at that dont really have them that i know of, nor do home hardware, mitre 10 or mega mitre 10, which they HAD in sa, except bunnings took over it good old bunnings

Go to a store that deals in Mag and Alloy wheels for performance cars. They use those metal ones with the nuts to screw into some types of mags or something.
I got mine from Les Schwab just asked how much for one and the guy brought me out to the shop and tossed me one for free.[/img]
