Its primary role is to maintain the exact clearance and alignment between the valve body and the actuating plate, ensuring that pneumatic signals are sent correctly when a pedal is pressed. Even a slight deviation in spacing can cause air leaks, delayed machine response, or a complete failure of the turntable or clamping functions. Over time, these spacers can become corroded or crushed due to over-tightened hardware, leading to inconsistent machine performance. Replacing worn spacers during a valve rebuild restores the factory-spec feel and airtight integrity of the control system. This component is essential for technicians who demand precision from their tire service equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Alignment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensures the valve plate and actuator are perfectly positioned for leak-free pneumatic switching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made from high-quality materials that resist compression and corrosion in shop environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsistent Response:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eliminates \"dead spots\" or delays in pedal actuation by restoring proper mechanical clearances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to fit seamlessly into the existing valve stack of Coats rim-clamp machines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8181918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e am8181918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect replacement models\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8181918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with various Coats Rim Clamp models utilizing a pedal-actuated valve plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou will receive the same product or an OEM-Equivalent that meets the highest standard of the OEM with warranty that will be a direct-fit.
