Tony..
As an old refrigeration mechanic,I have been installing these in all types of applications..
Your tube valve stem is steel and vulcanized into the rubber tube right to the tube surface itself..so ..cut your valve stem down..install an extended tube refrigeration schraeder valve down inside the steel base and then wrap the tire rubber stem in a wet rag or heat displacement gel and silver solder a new extended tube valve into the stem..make it any length you wish..
and it comes with a new cap to boot..
Use the cap to remover the valve before welding and blow out any oxidized surface before reinserting the new valve core..

Schrader Valves

One irrefutable fact about refrigeration systems is that sooner or later, they all need at least one access port. Testing, evacuating, charging - they all require access to the refrigerant circuit. That is where the lowly Schrader valve comes in. If you are changing out the compressor (or any other component) in a small refrigerator, you are going to want to solder a couple of these fellows in place (one on the high pressure side, one on the low).

Note: Use the valve cap (supplied) to remove and replace the valve core during soldering.
