Distribution
Quote valve service parts by the components per kit, inner-pack count and label language. For a custom pack, ask the supplier to identify how each service item is replenished.
Programs / Buyer requirements
Schrader TPMS Buyer Programs
Build the fitment, packaging and release checks around the team that will receive and use the part.
How the buyer uses the part
Service Networks
Collect the model year, sales market, programming tool and relearn instructions. Ask technicians to verify sample seating and sensor communication on the specified application.
Fleets
Break the request down by vehicle platform and rim type. Use separate lines when stem clearance, flange profile or clip design differs between wheel positions.
Catalog Teams
Maintain an OE cross reference alongside the supplier code and drawing revision. Flag any fitment entry that depends on a wheel center bore or an application-specific valve seat.
Compare both routes against the same checks
Use the example fields to define which alternatives can share a quote line.
| Decision | Compare | Before release |
|---|---|---|
| Clamp-in vs. snap-in valve | Compare the specified valve-hole diameter, seating profile and installation clearance. Quote the service parts that belong to each valve assembly. | Confirm the replacement against the actual rim and sensor, then have the installer follow the specified assembly and leak-check instructions. |
| Aluminum vs. polymer ring | Use the same OD, ID, height, chamfer and tolerance on both quotes. For example, a wheel bore of 66.6 mm and a hub pilot of 57.1 mm describe two distinct interfaces. | Agree the service environment and repeatable measurement method. A sample check can record the drawing revision and readings around both diameters before trial seating. |
| Single supplier vs. multiple sources | One source reduces the number of pack and lot records. Several sources can extend size coverage while increasing the work needed to reconcile drawings, labels and lot splits. | Request a shipment checklist per supplier. Combine records only after SKU, lot and carton totals match. |
| Stock pack vs. custom assortment | Compare component count, setup charges, supplier-stated minimums and replenishment by individual SKU. A custom pack can align with a service checklist while adding sample and labeling review. | Count each component against the approved bill of materials and verify the pack code before order release. |
