The Imperial Elbow Kwik-Coupler 1/4" set is designed for refrigeration and air-conditioning service hoses, making connections to core valve-type access fittings quick, secure, and hassle-free. By converting standard threaded connections into a push-pull operation, it saves time, ensures a positive seal, and helps prevent refrigerant loss during servicing.
Automatic core depression means no adjustments are needed, regardless of valve position, and disconnection is completed without releasing refrigerant. The built-in automatic shut-off valve retains pressure in a disconnected hose, allowing high-side refrigerant to be safely transferred to the low side through the manifold — reducing waste, eliminating hazardous discharge, and preventing environmental harm.
Key Features
- Automatic full depression of core valves without manual adjustment
- Separate coupler halves connect to the access fitting and hose end, with push/pull operation to open or close the system without refrigerant loss
- Automatic shut-off at hose ends allows high-side refrigerant transfer through the manifold to the low side
- Prevents hazardous discharge of refrigerant and oil during hose disconnection
- Makes charging precise refrigerant amounts into small systems easier
- Prevents finger burns when disconnecting — ideal for heat pump servicing in cold weather
- Eliminates need for hose-end core depressors, speeding up work on systems with hand valves
