Default Bridge washer installation

Is the bridge washer necessary if using a Coker inner tube that comes with the metal stem already attached or is the primarily used if cutting in your own metal stem to replace the rubber one?

Brattons metals stem inner tubes come with a bridge washer and nut. What does Coker say about their metal stem tubes? Are we comparing apples to apples here?

It helps center the valve stem in the groove and keeps it from turning when the rim nut is installed.

You will need to measure the length of the stem in the Coker tubes as it may be shorter and therefore if using a bridge washer, it will seat lower once installed in the rim.
