the 5th valve on my horn comes in very handy for tuning purposes on low pedal notes. on a cc horn i use the following fingerings for the low register.

f 4-5 (instead of 1-2-4)
eb 1-2-4-5 or 3-4-5 (instead of 1-3-4)
d 2-3-4-5 (instead of 1-2-3-4)
db 1-2-3-4-5 (instead of using a stuffy alternate fingering on a 4 valve instrument such as 2-3)

also i use the fifth valve on db(c#) just below the staff and the f#(gb) below that(2-3-5 instead of 2-4 which tends to be sharp). basically i substitute 2-3-5 on any 2-4 combo.
