I'm dumbfounded.  Have none of you ever heard of a Schrader valve?  It's 
what holds the air in your tires!

          <div>The term itself seems confounding. I can only think of
            two types of valves in a Tiger. The 16 valves in the engine
            and the heater control valve. Given the engine valve stem
            and head are one you would not be â??extractingâ?? one from the
            other and surely not with plastic.  Iâ??ve never had the
            heater valve apart but from its appearance this device seems
            to have little or no purpose.  Could it be that the word
            â??valveâ?? has an expanded British meaning?  I know they often
            call vacuum tubes â??valves.â??  Frankly it looks like a shaft
            for a radio knob..., or a tool for adjusting old style
            potentiometers , capacitors etc..</div>
