<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 “extracting” one from the
other and surely not with plastic. I’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
“valve” has an expanded British meaning? I know they often
call vacuum tubes “valves.” Frankly it looks like a shaft
for a radio knob..., or a tool for adjusting old style
potentiometers , capacitors etc..</div>

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