TPM-60 SENSOR for WIRE SPOKE WHEELS:
TPM-60 sensors are specifically for the wire spoke wheels. They are elongated to allow the Sensor to be
flush or protrude outward from the wire spokes, thus allowing the necessary air-gap.
Installing TPM-60 sensors requires them
to be fully threaded-in on the tire valve to
provide secure sealing.
ƒ Remove the existing valve cap and
inspect the threads and check to see that
the valve core is flush and not protruding.
X Begin threading the sensor on the tire
valve.
Y As you keep threading it, you may
hear a slight hiss, as a small amount of air
escapes before it is the sealed. Once you
have it tightened and aligned correctly,
lock it in place with the setscrew in the base collar. Use the 3/64” (1.2mm) Allen
wrench supplied.
If you felt that it was hard to thread it for the last couple
of turns, or you need at least a ½ more turn to seal it
up; remove the sensor and use the 4-Way tool to chase
and clean the threads of the valve-stem.
ƒ You can repair minor scratches or a slight damage to
the threads of the tire valve.
Use the 4-Way tool to chase the entire length of the
threads by twisting ½ turn then backing off each time –
use thread lubricant or tapping fluid.
Check for any air leaks - use soapy water and look for air bubbles.
TPM-60 sensors add about
1/4 oz (10 grams) to the
wheel, which is within
limits of a typical wheel
balance.
Do not remove valve-core
if you do not have air
compressor available to
re-inflate the tire.
