There is a standard ‘car tire’ valve on a pressure tank that is used for a water pressure from a well (pressure tank). The tank really needs to be replaced, but it is in a bad spot and $$$ , so I added some air to the tank which works very good for a while. The air eventually ?dissolves? (goes away) and I have to do it again. Problem is the tank is in a very hard to get to place. I would like to add maybe a 3 ft flexible extension to this valve. Do they have anything like this that I can just screw on to the standard valve to extend it?
4x4 shops will know exactly what you want.
eg " CHECKMATE™
Move your spare tyre inflator point to an easily accessible area with 1000mm CHECKMATE™ . No more crawling under the vehicles, no more unloading the boot to check your spare tyre pressure.
That valve fills a bladder which has broken so the air is just dissolving in the water. You need to open the tank and repair the bladder.
I know this part, but the tank - no let me rephrase, it appears the house, was build around the tank, as it is very inaccessible and I need to buy some time on it.
You can keep pumping air into the system but you can also just leave that tank where it is and add another pressure tank installed somewhere more convenient.
You could go to a plumbing supply house and buy an extension for an inflatable test ball. Or maybe two in order to make one three feet long.
It’s called a Schrader valve.
ETA: What you want is a Schrader valve extension hose.
This, a new one is $80.00 around here. It is a very easy DIY project.

I understand this, though it is more like 150 for the tank I need, also the installation would either need to be 1: in the place it is which is inaccessible 2: in a place that needs to be protected from freezing (so more to do that) or 3 in living space which the sound may be undesirable and the space it takes up also is not the best thing, though it could be done that way.
