The invention relates to a modified valve apparatus that resides on/in a pressurized vessel/container in which automatically releases pressure upon removal using a specialized tool, thus reducing the possibility for bodily/property damage as well as allowing access into the vessel/container.

A tool attachable to a valve stem of a tire grips and removes the valve core from the valve stem prior to introduction of sealant through the tool into the tire. Subsequently, the valve core, which has been stored in the tool, may be reinserted into the valve stem. An external pressurized gas source may then be attached to the tool so that gas may be injected through the tool and the valve stem of the tire into the tire.

A valve core removal tool can include a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A valve core gripper can be coupled to the distal end of the shaft and can include a first valve core engaging surface and an opposing second valve core engaging surface spaced therefrom. The first and second valve core engaging surfaces can be flexible and movable relative to each other between a first position, where the free ends of the first and second valve core engaging surfaces are spaced apart a first distance, and a second position, where the free ends of the first and second valve core engaging surfaces are spaced apart a second distance that is greater than the first distance. The first and second valve core engaging surfaces can be spring-biased in the first position for gripping a valve core between the first and second valve core engaging surfaces.

A method of using an operating nut includes engaging a tool with the operating nut of a device, the operating nut including a digital identification tag and the tool including a digital identification tag reader, placing the digital identification tag reader within a read range of the digital identification tag, and reading the digital identification tag with the digital identification tag reader to receive data of the device.

Disclosed is a quick removal tooling for a valve core, including a clamping sleeve, a rotary cap, a nut and a capped screw rod, where a first end portion of the clamping sleeve is provided with a clamping protrusion clamped with a valve body and an avoidance groove; a second end portion of the clamping sleeve is in sleeved connection with a first end portion of the rotary cap; the nut is fixed at a central hole of the rotary cap; a screw portion of the capped screw rod extends from a second end portion of the rotary cap, and extends into the clamping sleeve; and after the screw rod is in screwed connection with the valve core, the rotary cap is rotated, which drives rotation of the nut so as to push the screw rod to drive the valve core to be pulled out from the valve body.

A valve seat installation tool is disclosed. The valve seat installation tool includes a force conversion shaft extending from a shaft front surface to a shaft rear surface along a central axis, a torque nut secured to the force conversion shaft adjacent to the shaft front surface, a head adjacent to the shaft rear surface and a pump adapter secured to the force conversion shaft between the torque nut and the head.
