Valves for inflating tires of tired wheels, in particular tires for vehicles, wherein the term 'vehicles' refers to motor vehicles, vans, trucks, motorcycles or in general elements of locomotion on tires. More in detail, a metal valve () of the clamp-in type for inflating tires () associable with a TPMS transducer () by a locking screw () and arranged to be mounted, by a fixing system including a nut () adapted to screw onto a thread () provided on the stem () of the valve (), on a rim () of a wheel, wherein the fixing system includes an element () that irreversibly yields when a preset tightening torque is reached for the locking nut (), and wherein the element () that irreversibly yields is associated with the stem () of the valve ().

Metal valve of the clamp-in type for inflating tyres associable with a TPMS transducer

A valve for inflating tires of tired wheels associable with a transducer provided with electronic sensors for detection and transmission of certain operating parameters of the tire. The valve is arranged for being mounted on a rim of a wheel for vehicles so that the valve projects outside the rim and the transducer is positioned within a chamber delimited by the tire and by the rim. The valve includes signaling units which, once the valve has been mounted, are visible from the outside of the wheel. The signaling units are correlated univocally with the orientation of the transducer, and are arranged for indicating the position assumed by the transducer inside said chamber.
