What is the name of this valve?

[JDFester]

I am trying to find a replacement for a broken valve on a tube; it is not the threaded, boston valve style, but the older two piece style stopper. Does anyone know the name and/or where I can get a replacement?

Thank you!

I did a lot of googling, and couldn't find that one, or the one in my Sportsstuff tubes that is a push in with a normal valve....strange. All I could find is the screw in boston valves.

I'm not sure what it's called, but if the black part is what you need, I think I might have one in the garage I took off an old tube and threw in my "random hardware box". I'll check when I get home.

I've got one. Send me an address and I get it shipped out to you. Shouldn't be more than $1-2 shipping.

Awesome, thank you! Address sent!

Did a bit more searching this morning, and found out that at least one version is patented by Airhead, and is called the "Speed Safety Valve". Link below for anyone who may need it in the future. That should also work on the Sportsstuff brands, I believe.

Mine is slightly different, and on a WOW (World of Watersports) brand tube. I will check the sizes of both brands and see if they are in fact compatible... The worldofwatersports.com website is being flaky, so if they sell the valves, too, I was not able to find them... however, they do appear to be available from alibaba (min order is 100 and slowboat from China):

Here are the measurements on what I have.

Just checked the dimensions of the black one from my WOW tube, as well as the red one from a Sportsstuff Poparazzi; both match the dimensions shown by F.M. above, so they should be interchangable.
