SKU CH-8QBT-J5JPV

One-piece rubber tube seats beads on 22.5 and 24.5 truck tires during inflation

  • One-piece rubber tube seats stubborn truck tire beads

  • Lubricated seal lets air pressure pop beads into flange
  • Slides off automatically once proper inflation pressure is reached
  • Made in the United States with no batteries required

Ken Tool 31439 Bead Seater

The Ken Tool 31439 is a one-piece rubber tube designed for mounting hard-to-seat radial, bias-belted, or conventional truck tires. As the tire inflates, the lubricated tube forms a seal between the rim and tire, allowing air pressure to force the beads into the rim flange. Once proper pressure is reached, the bead seater slides out and over the rim automatically.

Fits 22.5 and 24.5 inch wheels

This bead seater replaces manual methods of seating stubborn tire beads on commercial truck wheels sized 22.5 and 24.5 inches. The jump is worth it when inflation alone cannot overcome the friction between a dry bead and the rim flange, reducing effort and the risk of bead damage during mounting.

For commercial tire service

This tool suits technicians mounting truck tires on 22.5 or 24.5 inch rims who need a reliable mechanical aid for difficult beads. Shops working exclusively with passenger car or light truck wheels, or those requiring a metal bead bazooka style tank, should look at other equipment types.
