It is also the same thread specification used on the shutter button of some old Leica, Yashica and also Nikon F and F2 cameras.
Many domestic fire extinguishers use an internal valve identical to a Schrader valve, but with a lever on top to enable quick release of the pressurized content. Schrader valves are also widely used in high-pressure hydraulic systems on aircraft. In addition to tube and tubeless tires, Schrader valves of varying diameters are used on many refrigeration and air conditioning systems to allow servicing, including recharging with refrigerant by plumbers conducting leak-down pressure tests on pipe installations as a bleeding and test port on the fuel rail of some fuel injected engines on bicycle air shock absorbers to allow adjustment of air pressure according to the rider's weight and in the buoyancy compensator (BC) inflators of SCUBA systems where the ability to easily disconnect an air hose (even underwater) without the loss of tank air is critical. The Schrader valve is used on virtually all automobile tires and motorcycle tires and most wider rimmed bicycle tires. Using the appropriate tools, a faulty valve core can be immediately extracted from the valve stem and replaced with a new one. A small rubber seal located on the core keeps the fluid from escaping through the threads. The valve core is a poppet valve assisted by a spring. The Schrader valve consists of a valve stem into which a valve core is threaded. The original Schrader valve design was invented in 1891, and patented in the United States in 1893. The Schrader company, for which it was named, was founded in 1844 by August Schrader. The Schrader valve (also called American valve ) is a type of pneumatic tire valve used on virtually every motor vehicle in the world today. The visible outer thread of the stem holds the dust cap.
The core has a short outer thread which is screwed into the inner thread of the stem.
