Clamp-On Air Conditioner Service Valves
Tap into refrigerant lines to drain and fill your system. These valves are self-piercing and can be installed without drilling a hole into the line. A valve cap is included.
Style 2 has a removable core to provide unobstructed flow for your refrigerant once the core is removed.
Replacement cores and core kits are sold separately. The kits include a core remover with four valve cores.

Deep-Reach Air Conditioner Service Valves
For hard-to-reach spaces, these valves are longer than standard air conditioner service valves. They tap into refrigerant lines to drain and fill your system. All have a removable core to provide unobstructed flow for your refrigerant once the core is removed. A valve cap is included.
Replacement cores and core kits are sold separately. The kits include a core remover with four valve cores.

Check Valves for Refrigerant
- Spring Material: Stainless Steel
- Seal Material: Neoprene Rubber
- Ball Material: Stainless Steel
- For Use With: Refrigerant
Use these valves in refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. All open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses. They solder to copper tubing for a permanent, leak-tight connection.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
