Default dual outlet tire valve stems?

I'm nearing front and rear tire replacements for my 2018 RK. FWIW, I use an Amazon sourced tire pressure monitoring kit that utilizes valve stem caps. It's been mentioned and shown here about valve stems that have dual outlets, one for adding air and the other for mounting the pressure/temperature monitoring cap. It allows you to add air to the tire and check pressure without having to remove the cap (PITA). I did an extensive search here and was unable to find the post/info about them. Any help? I'd like to purchase a set...

They're called t-valves.

I've never used them, but FOBO offers them as an accessory for their tire pressure monitoring systems.

I know nothing about the size needed, etc.

This could help you start your research..

I've had the FOBO t-valves on my 2014 FLHTK for years. I don't use the FOBO caps anymore but I still have the valve stems. I've never had a problem out of them.

What did you set the temperature alert setting on the aftermarket TPMS?

I set the PSI alert at 3 under the Owners Manual recommended tire pressure.

I got a couple sets of these after reading that resent thread. Seems to be a big difference in tire temperature for my old 4X4 Toyota and a motorcycle recommendation. Like 160 and 190.

Do bike tire run that much hotter?

Wingstuff has them for $19 each. AliExpress is much less but then you'll get an import duty bill a few weeks or months down the road.
Here's the link to the Windstuff website for these: https://wingstuff.com/products/37222...or-fobo-2-tpms
I have them and the FoBo sensors on both of my bikes. With the FoBo App on my phone, it makes checking the tire pressures really easy.
FWIW they take CR2032 Coin Batteries that seem to last me about a year or two.
