A tyre parameter monitoring system 2, e.g. tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), comprises: an electronic module 4 with a fitting 6 for a snap-in valve, a ball joint 8 coupled to the fitting 6, and a valve stem 10 for a clamp-in valve. The valve stem 10 has a ball socket 12 that is coupled to the ball joint 8 allowing the valve stem 10 to be positioned at different angles to the electronic module, i.e. pivotably articulated for angle variation. The module may include a pressure sensor with a housing including an aperture 18, with the ball joint including a connection stem 16 extending through the aperture with an inner thread to engage a screw (22, fig. 2). There may also be a nut 34, washer 32 and seal 30 to mount the valve stem to the wheel rim. Also claimed is an adapter including the ball joint and connection stem, and a method of mounting the tyre parameter monitoring system to a wheel rim.
