I have an eBay special Chinese SIB and this is the valve adapter.

A friend of mine also has a Chinese SIB and has lost this fitting that attaches to the valve.

For now we are sharing the one adapter.

Of course being Chinese and eBay there is no after sales support.

I have tried the search function on here and on Google and have not succeeding in finding one of these or even identifying it.

Any leads would be most appreciated.

Is the tang extending beyond the bayonet part functional/necessary? Looks like a Halkey-Roberts adaptor aside from that.

Try rib-shop

Jyasaki, no idea if it is useful or not. Haven't use mine for a while but will have a look. I did think it looked like a HR as well. Maybe I need to take some measurements.

Searider, I probably should have messaged Ribshop first. Well I have now.

Haven't had any luck with Ribshop.

Any other ideas?

SIB is not very useful without air.

Can someone measure their HR adapter please?

The adapter I have is:

Diameter is just over 19mm.

Depth into the valve excluding the square tabs on the end is about 19mm.

Halkey Roberts Valve Inflate Adaptor can buy adapters that have adjustable depth. Refer to the following link

Mine measures about 19.3mm diameter, 23.6mm from shoulder to tip, and 20.5mm from tip to gasket. The bayonet tab is 7.4mm, the opening behind the tab is 8.1mm, and the side slots are 4.4mm

Seasdes, thanks got that. The one in the link is a couple of mm too big, there is another one with the right diameter, it just looks too short. Will message them though as photos can be deceiving.

Jyaski, we were going well until the side slots. Thank you for that.

LOL. I was wondering how confused I could get you.

Side slots are the vertical (assuming you're holding the adaptor with the openings up and down) openings between the two bayonet prongs (If you think of the prong as an L shape, it's the distance between the end of the short L segment on one prong to the side of the long L segment on the other prong.) [as if that'll clear things up...]

All Asian sibs/ribs uses Halkey Roberts clones. Could be PRCH or Korean made, will need this type of valve adapter. Which valve is yours, the yellow pin valve is the original HR.

My attention to detail is not enough to see any real difference between the Korean and Chinese valves but it does look like them.

Locozodiac · 09 July 2014, 20:06

The difference is that both grey HR valves slightly varies its diam interior and central pin height, but hose adapter shown will match with no issues both valves.

Thank you everyone for the input. Will order a HR even though they look quite different and will keep you posted.
