1. A tire parameter monitoring system comprising:
an electronic module comprising a snap-in fitting configured to be coupled to a snap-in valve;
a ball stud comprising a connection stem configured to be coupled to the snap-in fitting;
a clamp-in valve stem comprising a ball socket disposed at a first distal end of the clamp-in valve stem and an outer thread at a second distal end of the clamp-in valve stem opposite of the first distal end of the clamp-in valve stem, the ball socket configured to be coupled to the ball stud to form an articulated ball joint, the articulated ball joint configured to position the clamp-in valve stem at different angles relative to the electronic module;
a washer disposed on the second distal end of the clamp-in valve stem;
a seal disposed on the washer at the second distal end of the clamp-in valve stem; and
a nut disposed on the seal at the second distal end of the clamp-in valve stem, the nut configured to be tightened onto the outer thread to pull the ball stud into the ball socket and lock an angular position of the clamp-in valve stem with respect to the connection stem and the electronic module and secure the clamp-in valve stem onto an outer surface of a wheel rim.
