The TPMS Sentry is designed to keep the sensor in a safe and secure position after the mounting nut has been been removed and the sensor is released from the wheel.
• Protects valuable valve stem
sensors that mount through the
valve hole
• T-shaped tool attaches to sensor
to keep it from dropping in to tire
cavity when mounting or
demounting tire
• Made of hardened steel
• Knurled surfaces provide positive
grip even when coated with water
or bead lubricant
• Fits through all valve stem holes
• Lightweight, compact design -
easy to carry - use anywhere
• Threaded valve
core depressor
tool to deflate tires
• Valve core removal and replacement tool
Tire pressure monitoring sensors typically are held to the wheel with a mounting ferrule nut that is threaded to the outside of a specially designed valve stem, and are susceptible to damage or breakage during tire mounting or demounting. Without the TPMS Sentry, the sensor is released and dropped into the tire cavity and damage can be caused by inadvertent contact with the tire changing equipment, by the bead of the tire when it is broken free of the wheel, or when the bead is forced over the rim of the wheel.
When using the TPMS Sentry, rather than dropping to the bottom of the tire cavity and being vulnerable to damage, the valuable sensor remains attached to the T-shaped tool by a flexible cable attached to the valve stem through the valve hole. Once released, the sensor can be easily lowered into the cavity to hang from the valve hole in the center of the wheel away from both the top and bottom beads, and away from the bead seating surfaces.
