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

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)
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)
I like how it clearly states that Schrader valves are NOT just for bicycle tire/auto tire applications, but also an assortment of other applications. The best aspects of this article3 are the detailed diagram and the animation of the valve in action. That video is NOT misleading. It clearly shows the spring-pin going down when air is added, and rising back up to seal the valve when the procedure is finished. Like I previously said: a very professional article!! Good job.

Looking once again at the animated diagram, I see why Greglocock may have a slight problem with it...but I am not sure of the actual placement of the spring in a real schrader valve. If the spring is at the bottom,as it shows, it would have to be a compression spring to seal...if at the top, it would need to be an extension spring. Be that as it may, I believe that the animation, as it stands, is good enough to show the approximate workings of a Schrader valve...splitting hairs about the spring placement would not add to the general understanding of its operation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pragmaticus123 ( talk • contribs) 18:05, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Errors in the - nice drawn - animation: 1. Pressed Spring is seen to expand while valve is opened manually, so helps to open the valve. In reality this spring functions the opposite way. 2. No blank frames between emptied tube (elastic vessel) and filled tube give the impression that the tube is filled quick but live in the animation. Being in conflict with the valve that stays closed. -- Helium4 ( talk) 09:09, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
This addition
has at least two issues:
What about the Woods valve, onece popular with bicycle innertube manufacturers . . . not worthy of note? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.93.164.28 ( talk) 12:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
This page appears to be severely lacking in terms of inline citations. Actually, the only source cited appears to be from a catalog, with no page numbers or other information to narrow down the search. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gleblanc ( talk • contribs) 16:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
It's interesting to me that many Wikipedia articles will have a "complaint" from 4 or 6 years ago saying "this article needs more citations". Yet nothing ever happens. As someone else mentioned on this Talk page, the article looks fine, yet I understand Wikipedia's desire for "no original research". On the other hand, the original research that is probably in this article will probably never change. At least that's my guess! 50.130.204.49 ( talk) 21:19, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
Don't want to start an edit war or anything, but I've only ever seen it spelled 'tire', and this article spells it 'tyre' in 20 places, and 'tire' in 6. Whichever is the correct one should be used throughout, IMHO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.33.111.99 ( talk) 23:09, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
