SIP tubeless valves

I picked up a set of sip tubeless yesterday and both tyres were at 30psi,

i obviously had to get the pressures right so i went to the garage and on one of the wheels,the valve is too short to get the airhose on??
i tried another garage but had the same problem.
anyone know a fix for this?can i loosen the nut on the valve and screw the valve so it sticks out more?will this cause a potential air leak?
do i take em back?

The other valve seems to be sticking out TOO far,double the short one.

I'm taking em back, I'm not paying good money to have to go modify em.
On top of all that, one of my rear hub studs is stripped.

Wouldn't really class putting air in as a modification. :bald:

Quality piece of kit and does the job to a tee.

Keep one in the garage and one in my bike jacket.....sorted.
