Peugeot Vogue

Peugeot Vogue

This 12×1 valve is a male thread, right hand (clockwise is tighter). All other 12×1 valves are female thread and have a turnbuckle nut with both left and right hand thread. With the turnbuckle nut removed, the other 12×1 valves are male thread, left hand (clockwise is looser).

Because the whole valve must be screwed in to install it, the handle knob detaches with a clip.

This valve fits a Peugeot Vogue, perfectly.

This valve fits tanks with M10-1.25 female thread

None of the mopeds on this site have this thread. It may be for Chinese motorized bicycle gas tanks.

No reserve just OFF and ON.

Nut adjusts vertical height to fit closer or farther from tank.

Direction adjusts 360 degrees (like most others).

At left is a used leaking original, not for sale, for a ’92 Tomos Colibri. At right is a new replacement, for sale. It is either an A4b 403200 (shown) or an A4 01z2351035 (red) valve, with a 1 inch extender.  It includes a 1 inch longer reserve tube and both outer seal rings.

Italy-made by OMG

This 10×1 spigot down valve has a 26mm extender that positions the valve lower, away from the bottom of the tank. The 26mm extender includes a longer reserve tube.

When an extender is added to a valve, the reserve tube needs to be longer. When the reserve tube is too short, there is little or no reserve. Here the original reserve tube has been replaced with a longer one, 60mm from the valve base instead of 35mm.

Any of the other 10×1 male valves can have a 15, 20, or 26mm extender added. Some already have long reserve tubes.

1980 Motron Fairway no tank extender (can use A2)
1980 AMF Roadmaster 140 original A8
1983 AMF Roadmaster 140 replacement

A8 This valve is an A2 plus a C10.195 extender. The extender costs as much as the valve, so when replacing a 10mm valve that has an extender it is better to re-use the extender.

AMF with Minarelli: The 1980-83 AMF Roadmaster 140, 141 with Minarelli V1 mid-engine is another model that needs a short extender to position the valve knob to go through the hole in the body panel. This A8 replacement shown in the link fits, but the end of the handle must be ground off.

A8c This valve is an A5 plus a C10.195 extender. This configuration was on 1980 Peugeot 102 SP (US model) and others.

Peugeot 102: On 1980 Peugeot 102 there is a wall that prevents the valve from being screwed in, unless there is an extender piece between the valve and the tank. This model must have the extender present.

1993 Tomos A35 Bullet TT
1994 Tomos Sprint TT

This valve fits early 1987-93 Tomos top tanks with 10×1 internal threads. After 1993-94 Tomos top tanks have 12×1 external threads and take valve A17b.

The knob has to be removed in order to screw on because the tank wall is too close. Once installed the round knob goes through a one inch hole in the right plastic panel below the tank.

Here it is shown without the metal cup and rubber ring, but those things are included. The 15mm length extension includes the cup and rubber.

74-75 Solex Tenor 8000 (Laura M56)

Like the other 10×1 male valves, the whole valve must turn around and around, to screw on. But the long shaft would usually hit something. That would prevent the valve from screwing on. The original valves had a detachable shaft, held on by a clip. So the valve could be installed or removed without the shaft.

This replacement valve does not have an easily detachable shaft. But the shaft can be removed by loosening the shaft nut. To install the valve, remove the shaft, then screw on the valve, tighten only to a little more than “finger tight”, aim it to face outward or whatever direction is best, then replace the shaft.
