An adapter assembly is taught for attaching a tire pressure monitor onto an inflation valve which incorporates a distal end flange. An adapter is included in the assembly consisting of a collar having a configuration sized to fit over and be internally retained by the valve distal end flange, and an O-ring is positioned on the flange contiguously engaging the collar. A tire pressure monitoring cap is threadably attached to the collar which is disposed above and compresses the O-ring between the cap, collar and valve end flange. The adapter permits the tire pressure monitor to be attached, for use with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and also could prevent possible minor air leaks. The adapter may be packaged in a kit with appropriate instructions. Alternatively the tire inflation valve could be included with the adapter, forming the adapter assembly, or the monitor could be included in either case, when desired.
