    The valve stem ("nail") measures about 0.092 inch. The smallest size of vinyl tube at my local Ace hardware is marked 3/32 x 3/16 inches. It seemed to be a light push fit on the stem. So I installed a 1/8 inch piece with no attempt to bevel the end, this giving about 1/16 inch stem travel. Probably it will deform somewhat to fit the conical seat. Possibly it will deform too much and squish out of place.
